I use Facebook. Put up funny posts, pictures...bla bla bla.
Everytime I post something I usually get about 30-40 likes.
Yet EVERYTIME I post something vaguely feminist. Blank. Zero. Occasional like.
I find it so depressing. Today I have posted about International Women's Day and linked to the letter in the Guardian.
How do we break down this wall of silence?
Why do people not want to be associated with 'ranty feminists'?
Our communication seems to be very isolating, even though it's not meant to be.
Qu's I ask myself....
Why can people not see what I can see?
Is the harm done to them so 'normal' that they can't see it?
Are they scared of being ostracised into this rad fem group if they speak out?
Are they afraid of losing their families/jobs/attractiveness to males?
I just wondered if we could have a discussion and try and learn what is it that non feminists hear when they hear a feminist talking. It might help us improve our communication.
Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
I don't know why I bother.....anyone else the same?
