I just don't get the constant bashing and 'seeking out the crimes' of KJK.
She is doing something incredibly simple and unique- creating a platform for ordinary women to speak out.
Women listen and relate through their everyday, human experiences.
In these times where women are being traumatically shut down in their homes, friendship groups, work places, places of education- she has given them the opportunity to build the courage to speak out and say no. And this has a ripple out effect on women who don't attend too.
I'm not a 'fan-girl' of KJK, I don't lead agree with everything she says or how she says it, but I just cannot, for the life of me, see a good reason to try and sabotage her.
No-one else has done this in such a broad and inclusive way (it's free, accessible, non-, spontaneous); the power of it is palpable and the counter effects it stirs up are completely unsurprising to me.
These effects remind me of when an individual woman, or girl, finally decided to stand up for herself, with boundaries, within in an oppressive family system.
It stirs up conflict and aggressive pushback- she will be demonised, vilified, rejected, misundertood- and she will be tempted to back down to go back to the illusory peace and comfort of non-conflict.
The drama triangle of victim, rescuer, persecutor will come into full force.
But withstanding that division and conflict is a necessary part of her liberation and individuation (and potentially benefit the health of the whole system too).
From my point of view, KJK doing this so powerfully on a macro scale, gives courage to women everywhere- individually, and as a group.
I'm realising what a broad church feminism is, but I really struggle to see how this isn't considered feminism in action.
