It's very telling that your first reaction to being approached by men was an anxious one, and fascinating what you learned of them.<BR/><BR/>It's disturbing that we live in a world where our first reactions to people we know nothing about is a negative one.

I think gender-exclusive spaces have their place; I think they are more useful on the internet, and my qualifying condition is: any space which has a more than tiny amount of political, social or cultural agency needs to be open to all genders. Any political space needs to be open to all genders; that includes RTN, and it includes feminist groups.<BR/><BR/>I also think that a lot needs to be done within specifically dedicated feminist groups to ensure that men, when they do join, understand that they are there to learn, to listen and to contribute - but NOT to lead.Penny Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677315565893516941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-10545676738741390222008-11-24T13:06:00.000+00:002008-11-24T13:06:00.000+00:00Are you making a general argument against ciswomen...Are you making a general argument against ciswomen-only spaces, or just saying that RTN specifically would benefit from not being women-only? Because, I think that there is a need for ciswoman-only spaces (and you can imagine what it takes for me of all people to say that!). I don't know enough about RTN specifically, though.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286586307029475845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-68981694260837511902008-11-23T22:45:00.000+00:002008-11-23T22:45:00.000+00:00Yes, but a)they're not made welcomeb)allowing them...Yes, but <BR/>a)they're not made welcome<BR/>b)allowing them on the march has caused fuss in the past<BR/>c)a lot feel excluded from the rallies and general sentimentPenny Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677315565893516941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-55138779071029918962008-11-23T22:12:00.000+00:002008-11-23T22:12:00.000+00:00But, transpeople are invited to RTN.satch.But, transpeople are invited to RTN.<BR/><BR/>satch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-79435479166954908022008-11-23T21:14:00.000+00:002008-11-23T21:14:00.000+00:00none of us should have to steel ourselves for a be...<I>none of us should have to steel ourselves for a beating when we pop to the shops for milk</I><BR/><BR/>Amen.Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307209599176271238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-13791968504976992512008-11-23T15:17:00.000+00:002008-11-23T15:17:00.000+00:00Hey, I've just found your blog for the first time ...Hey, I've just found your blog for the first time (via Chris Dillow).
