What are we doing exactly?

My idea behind the group is that we go hog-wild reading about and discussing the history of feminism, modern feminism, and feminism from an activist's perspective. We read promiscuously from a variety of feminist camps including 2nd wave, 3rd wave, pro-sex feminism, anti-porn feminism, black feminism (also called womanism coined by Alice Walker), lesbian feminism, M to F transgender rights, the riot grrl movement, third world feminism, radical feminism, post-modernist feminism, women's suffrage, etc. We're going to look at feminism from a big picture perspective and then we're going to take a fine-tooth comb and look for the feminism that is hidden under a rock in the corner. No feminist subject will be taboo.

I want the meetings to be a safe-space for open discussions of different view points where everyone gets a fair chance to express their opinion and no one gets shouted down (unless they're using outright hate speech). All genders, sexes, and orientations welcome! [close]
