Introduction

Like some other members, I've been a feminist forever--since the early '70s, to be specific, and I'm always interested in meeting other like-minded folks. I don't do any crafts, so I'd prefer either a book club or simply a good discussion group.

What made you realize you were a feminist?

I started reading some feminist material and said "Oh, of course!"

What does feminism mean in your life?

It is one of the guiding principles in my life.

What do you want to see happen in this group?

Great conversations about feminism, what it means to different members, how feminists can disagree and still be feminists, and the different ways members act on their feminism.

What Gail Bernstein is saying about this Meetup Group

Love the group, hope it continues.

  • By the way, I miss being around Feminists a lot. I have been thinking about joining the Feminist meet-up, but concerned that some hetero women are very sensitive to remarks that may sound "anti-male" to them. I have a son and two grandsons, and so of course I'm not a "man-hater" or "separatist", but I see the male dominated culture in a world where women are in the majority, and I speak to that issue. It would be interesting to me to discuss with you, regarding whether I would "fit in".

  • Hi Gail, A couple of titles of the books I was mentioning last evening are "Long Time Passing, Lives of Older Lesbians" by Marcy R Adelman, and "Look Me In the Eye, Old Woman, Aging and Agism" by Barbara Macdonald. I don't know if they are still in print. My copies are still in the mountains, and I'm planning to be in the mountains next week and will pick up those and others to share.

  • Hi Gail, you were mentioning needing a new venue? Did I miss some key information while I was out??
    I'm so glad for all your input to the meetings, you really keep the coversation flowing :)
