Why has WPUK gone quiet?

The thread about WRN shows that it is impossible to try to move from grass roots to a professional organisation because the volunteers don’t want expansion

I think if you had been on their facebook page you would know that just isn't true.

Also it is really insulting to say that have different political positions is "criticism".

Not forgetting their personal vendettas including naming women from the stage to belittle them.

Or those who were happy to attend FiLia as consumers and then find out, would you believe it, that women have different political oppinions.

We are all grown ups. I would have thought by now must of us would be aware that you cant just be a consumer groups work and not question what else is going, as the thread about WRN shows clearly. It isn't just that some women do not like being duped. They think it makes the practice of feminism a murky as the political parties.

I presume they disbanded because they were criticised to death. I also presume they were sick and tired of being judged by anonymous posters who didn’t do very much but were very quick to complain when things weren’t perfect. The anonymous posters are usually inadvertently riled up by TRAs .

For old times sake - including the eye opening for some "elephant" thread:

They closed down in despair because it turned out that even though they as committed socialist had run some very good events that we had been happy to attend, it didn't turn us all into toe the line socialists.

There was a thread about it at the time. Especially in relation to the last posting made on their facebook page.

I think they had their own internal splits, but in the end it was the entryism of Actual Gender Critical Left that meant even the founding members of WPUK were found wanting in terms of left alignment.

Luckily AGCL have found the not very on the mark FiLia lap dog feminism an easier group to infiltrate.

Just waiting to see how soon that becomes the Socialist Feminist Revolutionary Front.

Yes they formally disbanded. Not aware of that OP?

I thought the organisation dismantled? It was a hell of a lot of work.
