29. thank you ,

I wrote it because to me its evidence of a balance , as i said im an MRA but aside from the fact I was made to feel part of something that accepted me without judgement I have gone there because its where my voice can do good, feminism was a fantastic concept , from sufferage onwards but round about the 70s there were things that happened, be it the attacks on Erin Pizzey for what she has done and the fact she saw DV as a genderless crime through to harriet harmans comments in goverment , I see the whole thing as a pendulum, only an ostrich would say that feminisim has the same social relevance it did as there has been a backlash over many things , but one of the things that myself, and a lot of the men i am close to worry about is that the pendulum shifts too far again in the other direction, I wouldnt wish a girl to go through any of the things I, or others have because of gender, or for that to be diminished because " it happens to more men so that is more important" , Feminisim has it in them to pull back from the brink , but it takes things like this, it takes feminists coming out and challenging those within there ranks that are hateful, man hating has somehow become socially acceptable but its little things like this ( and you have no idea how many props you have been given on many different sites from even the most harsh MRA for the fact that you nailed your colours to the mast to defend transwomen , and that is something massive for that group to see and publicly state that there is some good in feminists ) .

Apoligies for the rant there but im not always the best at writing
