[close] I've found that sadly, on many groups here, feminism is considered a dirty word. They censor and they close down a gal's opinions. Well not here. This is a group for women to unapologetically discuss feminism and a female-focused future. Especially with regard to promoting a more female-centric literary sector. Women read far more than men and yet we STILL do not get the representation we deserve. Female authors continue to be put down by male critics. Why is it that men feature so prominently in literary awards when they clearly don't deserve it? So ladies, feel free to start threads here, reply, discuss, even argue. This is a zone where your voice rules and the patriarchy can't silence you. And men? Note that this group is for one sex only: women. If you have a penis, go and start your own group because you will be removed from this one.
