This has been an interesting eye-opening spectacle. Having been a long-standing Posie supporter and an avid supporter of Jean's rides for women, I'm astounded at the division.
I have watched lots of Lisa's videos too. All worthy points of view and positions.
And no - I'm not new.
However, I do wonder when people announce a withdrawal from social media then go to another platform to announce they've left another platform. Questions get asked, it's a public forum. Jean, Lisa and Posie are influential activists and the curious enter and are slammed down with patronising messages of 'take your time and read the boards' and the 'we are very protective over our Jean/Posie/Lisa.
Jean knew what her blog would achieve. The levels of influence are huge and the ramifications of such actions affect many people.
Then we read deletions of accounts. Announcements of taking a break. It becomes then easy to view it through a critical lens as intentonally attempting to derail the events of this week.
People ask questions - come here as it's where excellent conversation occurs - then the 'regulars' begin attacking those that aren't contributors about attacking P/J/L.
I mean - Lisa M was quite vocal in her blogging over Christmas. Quite a lot of blogs on women that were attacking on them attacking her.
It's no wonder there's division. And that is deeply worrying.
