Thanks- it’s quite useful to have a man’s perspective on this issue, because like it or not- men have the power- so for feminists to get anything done, we need make support. Oh, the irony.

Imo the forums have a lot of radical feminists on them, some of whom are misandrists. Sorry you’ve had to see some of the crap they post. I will also say not all radfems are misandrists- nowadays not believing men can be women and sex work is empowering is enough to class you as a radical feminist.

For the guys who would maybe want to support us- I’d look at official campaigns (Fair Play for Women, ReSisters, Standing for Women)- there will be more sense there. And men spreading word would help hugely.

I just want to also say I really appreciate your support.

And that is the problem. There is nothing radical about that, and it doesn't make you a radical feminist if you believe in that. I do, and I'm not one. It's this over-simplification of groups why we need the LGB to finally drop the T after all.
