What's going on with the Feminist Library?

[ArcheryAnnie]

I haven't had much to do with them recently but in the past I've always supported them, bought stuff, donated books and magazines, etc, but in their most recent ad for an event it begins "we invite all who identify as women to..."

Have they fallen down the rabbit hole, or is this a glitch?

Oh they fell down the rabbit hole a long time since. I remember reading a thread about it on here over a year ago.

old thread here

[MatildaOfTuscany]

Actually, now I'm confused - you started that old thread.

I went to the recent fundraiser.

I liked the look of the library, it had Greer and Heffries, but the toilet had apparently recently been designated gender neutral .

That I didn't like.

Ha, Matilda, I'd totally forgotten about that! I think I am just so firmly convinced, deep down inside, that the Feminist Library is full of reliable second-wavers (how could they not be, with all those Spare Ribs lying around), that every time it comes up, my mind goes NOOOOOOOOOO with disappointment, and then erases it from my memory instantly.

Well, anyway, present-me is very grateful to past-me for starting that other thread, as a record of what's gone on, and also very grateful to you for bringing my attention to it.

(This is like a movie where someone wakes up to find their flat covered with post-it notes to themselves, from themselves, because they have recurrent amnesia.)
