Another one here! The Finnish GC sub wasn’t very active but I’ve been looking for a place with likeminded finns, nice to know that some of us found their way here!

I fucking love your username. Rusina! I laughed out loud when I saw that. Raisins are ALWAYS quite radical, though. Trying to make their way into OUR cookies... Disguising themselves as chocolate chips... THE NERVE. /s

(VERY off topic - I was in a mental rush to create an account when I found this site and just made up this name. It does have a meaning but anyway. My other choice was "vuorinauris." Little background: my partner is a South American guy who loves to try to speak in Finnish... And we had spoken about animals and plants and all that before. Like you know, hirvi, porkkana, kauris, peruna, so on. Then we saw some video of deers and he gleefully tells me he knows the name. And just says "LOOK, it's a nauris." (And I thought I heard him wrong. Kauris and nauris are too close phonetically.) He repeated "nauris" and I almost died of laughter because well. I have a dorky sense of humour and thinking of some noble NAURIS e.g. standing in Järnefelt's "Landscape from Koli" makes me have a fit of laughter that usually ends up in me feeling like I cannot breathe. Ah! Had to share this silly story, totally off topic. May the raisins, rats and turnips finally unite!)

EDIT: Some wording for coherence.

Oh and, on a completely serious note - I have been wondering about spaces/places like that as well. I don't live there anymore but an online community could be a good start. Happen to know any? Feel free to PM if you want to talk in more detail. I have found the Finnish feminist groups in FB especially cult-like and would not like to experience that shit again. Maybe there's another way, I just don't know what.

Actually I fluidly identify as a chocolate chip so if you refuse to eat raisin cookies you’re incredibly grapephobic. /s

I don’t know any Finnish online GC communities sadly, but a discord channel or something similar for casual talk would be refreshing.

And you should have gone with vuorinauris, that story is hilarious!!

Are you invading my space?! Raisins are NOT grapes. Actually one of my uncles IS a GRAPE so do not make fun of this. I will doxx you, you terrible, horrible raisinphobe. /s

...Speaking of the actual topic - I would love to be a part of a bigger site in Finland but I think so far the radfems have done pretty well. I think one of them was in AV (tietäjät tietää...) and posted many of their links. That's how I ended up here. Ha! :D

In any case I think even the name "radical feminist" sounds super off-putting to like 98% of the population - so something more GC would work better. There are, after all, some women who are NOT feminists and some gender-criticals who are not women :) Sisua!
