In 2018, this is how I feel.

Its a feeling that isn't going away.

I know this wont be a popular opinion, but I'm also angry about the number of women who have enabled this.
IMO, not judging women forced into prostitution was quickly co-opted into promoting porn and prostitution. That has helped dehumanise, objectify and commodify women and brought us to this point.

Hang in there Red. Its starting to be discussed in the MSM, it's being discussed here more strongly than ever before and the posters on the FWR are far, far larger in number than even a year ago. It's not over yet.

I know how you feel...I feel more and more that nobody actually cares about women and that my vote doesn’t matter. All the optimism I had even 10 years ago has vanished.

I agree, I feel the same. I feel defeated, depressed and disenfranchised here in 2018. I felt much more optimistic 20 years ago (some of that is probably having had children in the interrim and being more aware of issues around pregnancy and childcare but not all).

I’d go even further red, I think politics in 2018 is not only ‘for’ women (in either sense of the word) but actively against them.

Women are political, women do politics well. The political scene is man shaped. It can be reshaped. Uphill struggle.
