GC as a sub reminded Me of the early days of feminism in the 70’s and 80’s when our mantra was Sisterhood is Powerful.

It all got perverted in the 1990’s when the gender movement blossomed and they got lots of money to fund the gender lobby.

Yes, reading older women in GC who lived through the 70s and 80s was so powerful. We owe you all so much. We will keep going 💜

I truly feel as though we (I) failed younger women. We took our eyes off of the ball in the 1990’s when the gender movement started in earnest. We thought that we had achieved so much but sexism never died.

It just was sitting there, ready to take another form.

It's okay, you're here now. Neoliberalism and neopatriarchy got almost everyone I think. :) we are fighting back.

You're here now! Women are regrouping and reawakening, and I learned so much from the older voices on GC. Without them and their experiences and fucking WISDOM, I think us younger women wouldn't have anything to look back on that wasn't "unproblematic." Older gen led the way, for me, to get to where I am now with my feminism. It is a feminism that is reviled by many, but more and more people are coming around.
