I think a few years ago I would have thought this is really great.
But sadly much in this report is known. Of course I apprecite that this is in a "porfessional" report, and so must might make some people take notice who wouldn't if it was just info on a FWR thread.
If anything the past year has shown is not that many people care.
And politicians are going to say we must have an investigation, we must get these women's groups to return to their WLM aims.
And despite not having sympathy with the women who are now running these groups, these groups are like this because of the combined pressure of politics (eg the Labour Party), funders who dont give a shit, just want the most cost effective use of their money(*), and of course the huge and massive sucess of Stonewall etc..
And sadly many women using these services, are probably so desperate and so concerned that criticisms would just lead to the closure of services, that they are unlikely to band together and campaign for women's groups to return to their founding principles.
It wouldn't surprise me if the MRAs dont just use this as an opportunity to say that government and charity funding should not be wasted on charities (claiming) primarily for women.
Or women's groups will just change their aims and objectives.
(*) More women's groups have closed because funders dont think women only services are cost effective. And of course women dont matter.
