I find the liberal side of feminism to be less effective than it was in the 70's. This is why I am of the persuasion of radical feminist

I'm apparently the enemy of someone I've never met. That's a bit funny.

Same here, I've been listed as an enemy of random countries quite a few times now.

It should just notify you whenever you have a "mention" with the @ function.

Do you know that child marriage is a problem in US, too? Most states allow underage marriage under certain circumstances (parental permission and/or court approval). In some states there is no official age limit, for example in California. So, technically, with parental permission and court approval, someone can get married to a baby...

Usually it's a girl married to an older man. Usually the girl is coerced. The odds of abuse are much higher than in an average marriage.

And, to add insult to injury, for an underage girl in an abusive marriage it's almost impossible to get a divorce. Many women's shelters won't take minors.

That's good, but I'm barely active since...well, quite a lot of time.

"As a feminist, I consider the female pronoun to be an honorific, a term that conveys respect. Respect is due to women as members of a sex caste that have survived subordination and deserve to be addressed with honour" - Sheila Jeffreys, from "Gender Hurts".

I started watching "The Handmaid's Tale" -- the scarry thing is that I can totally see it happen...

You should definitely read the novel, it’s my favorite book!!

To some extent, I think the future is uncertain and terrifying and I think that things are only going to get worse. But then there’s another part of me that believes that our resistance is not futile. So idk lol
