42. Do you understand that you dished many of us
Do you really believe for one second that we were/are into activism? Have any of us here, ever, advocated cloistered communities. I think you greatly misunderstand.

I find many of the posts by younger 'feminists' on the bitch threads very condescending and lacking in respect for others opinions. It saddens me because one thing we did have is sisterhood. I started a job where there were only 5 women and 100 men. We were the first females hired and faced intense scrutiny and some bias. We immediately started a female only book club so we could help each other maintain our sanity against the attacks. That wasn't a cloistered community it was a way to handle what we were facing.
