The invitation to FIST includes radical feminists and other revolutionary women. I wonder about the latter group... who are they? Socialists? Anarchists? Hmm.

That's great! The only thing this, their rule about "We reject any alliances or collaboration with the Religious Right" seems pretty contentious and non-negotiable. It seems like pandering to the left when this is a woman's issue that is not getting support from the left or right. The left passes and advocates for pro-class, sexist, racist, anti-immigrant stuff 100% of the time, too, so I don't know why we should act as if we draw the line at the right. I think it's a pretty arbitrary line being drawn. The idea that building alliances on like minded issues with people we don't agree with = we support them seems to come from the same mentality that believes in neo-lib cancel culture. We need to get away from this hierarchy of ideas where we give more credence to truth based on how agreeable someone is. It only increases the toxicity around the idea of open debate, which hurts our cause.

WoLF (I am not a member, but I know that they are amazing, and amazingly brave, compassionate, go-getting women) has been around for awhile and is very active fighting US court cases in support of women's rights.

As such, WoLF sometimes "ally" with conservatives, because, in the US, conservatives are the only ones listening to women regarding the transgender lobby's attack on our rights.

One of the criticisms of WoLF has been that some of the conservative groups were not supportive of gay rights, however, I've been around politics for decades, and even most conservatives are now tacitly supportive of gay rights, if only for the gays in their own lives.

And if you want to see how the Democrats treat people fighting for women's rights, watch the House Judiciary Committee's hearings last year on the Orwellian "Equality" act. The Democrats treated the GC speakers like dirt. I'm looking at you Nadler, Lieu, Jayapal. Beyond shameful, and I am not a "conservative" on most issues.

The only thing that will wake the Democrats up is public outcry - many of them are deep into Big Pharma $$ and the rest are too dumb to figure out that allowing men to identify as women has extremely negative implications for women's rights.

I have said this on other threads: we all, or any of us who feel comfortable, need to actively reach out - to politicians, on message boards, on social media forums and state clearly what GC values are. Do it anonymously. Most people would be GC if they knew what was at stake, so let's tell them.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I think most people are GC. Some of these far-left ideologies are downright dangerous to women. Just recently there's the Massachusetts Bail Fund following in the footsteps of Brooklyn Bail fund. No vetting, just free them all. The board is mostly women. You can see the cached version even after they took the about page with their staff names down. These handmaidens are ready to sacrifice women and children on the altar of "social justice" and wokeness.

It's a shame I can never seem to get Ovarit to work. Password errors and a 404 error when I try to reset it. I would like to completely migrate to there.
