[Noisebridge-discuss] happy feminist film night: Hayao Miyazaki?

[macegr]

No one has a right to be accepted within a movement, but you don't have the right to tell them that they're incapable of identifying with any given cause or movement due to the way they were born.

I'd like to think no feminist wants women to rape and murder as much as men. Plus, I'm highly suspicious of any man that tells an actual woman what feminism is about. This is exactly why men should have no power within the liberation of women, they quickly fall into negative social traits such as telling women what to do and taking over their movements.

Women are constantly told they have to include men, and that hasn't helped us one bit. Men always grab for the attention and try to "teach" us - as if they could truly understand our experience.

There is a whole theory explaining why this happens, I can recommend some feminist literature to you (I don't have time to explain it all in an email). But just because women do shitty things to other women doesn't mean women are the oppressor class.
