Ok, I really am really very late for work at this point but I thought it might be nice to have a space in which we can discuss separatist feminism. I've read a lot of advocates of it, and even incorporate some elements of it into my own life - I prefer not to live with men, for example - but I don't practise it totally and I can't find any examples of any separatist communes.

Does anyone know anything more about it? Does anyone live in a separatist way?

Surprisingly good Wiki link here

I think it would be very hard to live in the world as a totally separatist woman.

You can obviously choose not to live with men but how do you manage if you have male children?

I think i would be depriving myself and my DC of a whole part of the world if i chose to live in that way.

It just sounds a bit extreme to me.
