feminists talking to each other

[wembley]

I keep lamenting the death of feminist blogs but not really doing anything about it. I think people posting AND having discussions about what was posted is cool. Substacks have sort of replaced them, ish, but obviously that platform has huge, huge problems. They do have comment sections, but...

Is there a community here on DW where people discuss this stuff? Search didn't find me anything with actual posts in it. Should I bite the bullet and create a forum? If so, is there a free forum people like? That said, I am the laziest most inattentive mod ever and this is a topic that causes so many fights (see: why feminist bloggers eventually gave up, because the comment sections were vital, and also fucking exhausting, lol).

I'm just thinking about how the idea of enthusiastic consent came, iirc, from the blogosphere, obviously building on ideas formed from books (and probably consciousness raising circles?) from the second wave, and if we don't have people coming up with ideas and hashing them out, the future won't be as good.

That said, again. The modding. Yikes.

That's really tough! Do you want to do it here? There's a big problem finding places where you can have a civil discussion, let alone a discussion at ALL. I'd be very interested if you do. Perhaps Tumblr?
