History of Feminism
Related: About this forumHoF is by far the most used forum in the Gender and Orientation
category. In the last 30 days we've generated almost 3000 posts, the next highest is LGBT with 890. For all the grief we get here, I'd like to say that HoF has some of the most interesting subjects to read and comment on and a vibrant,intelligent group of people who find the most interesting topics. Remember that the next time someone tries to minimize us as a "fringe" group.

(68,868 posts)certain quarters directed at it--HoF represents the idea of women telling men stuff men don't want to hear. Knock HoF down, and you knock down feminism as an ideology here.

(101,730 posts)So for those who think Skinner is going to bend to their "will" and send us packing, they need to get real...
At least some of our activity is from those who may never post and in fact, may never register on DU, but are very much in support of feminist ideals, women's issues, and women's equality.
Our detractors may be vocal, but I do believe those who are adamantly opposed to feminists on DU and women in general, are few. Let them continue to stalk alert on posts and threads here and make ugly posts to Skinner regarding this group in ATA or elsewhere, but I do believe admins are capable/willing to see and act on the truth-- even if they sometimes disappoint us in providing overt support.

(115,096 posts)The one you mentioned, that it's just s few people. Then the one where all we talk about is negative stuff and how awful it is that people talk about rape so much and blah blah blah... I can only assume these people also whine about peace activists who discuss the horrors of war.
