I agree, I just wish I knew where to start. Maybe we need to do a Women's March on the issue or something. That's basically how BLM has pushed its message.

Most interest groups get their messaging from think tanks, though. Perhaps we need to fund one. Are there any out there we could donate to?

Often think tanks are fueled by rich donors. Human Rights Watch had Soros, for example. Do you think we could get Rowling to donate to a Radfem one? I think big name untouchables like her are our best hope.

I think if JKR were to get one up and running, that would do as much good as what she is currently doing, if not even more so. She is doing wonderful work, but it really helps to have a group that is dedicated to researching this issue and coming up with convincing messages about it.

The other half of it is for us to then parrot those messages. This is how conservatives and TRAs manage to sway people. They are incessant and constantly spouting off the same facts and slogans. Repetition matters a lot.
