Hey peeps! Feels like time to have a night out for some discussion:)

A lot of times as feminists, we find ourselves in the position of being an ally. You go to a discussion or a rally or an event or read a book that supports an issue that isn't about your own experience exactly.

Now, you've got a limited amount of time and energy to put into feminism. You do and are other things and you want to be and do other things and with the time that you give to feminism you want to do - well, what feels important to you. Get down and dirty with the effects of feminism on your own life, right? You won't necessarily see a rally for your pet issues going on anywhere. There is however, a demonstration going on about Brobdingnagian lower-class moms who do synchronized swimming (I'm just guessing that none of you fit this demographic). Shouldn't we be working on something that affects all women rather than a specific group? Why should you go to it? How do you feel about it? How do you conduct yourself to avoid gnarly bloopers? When do you get to talk about your big issues and how do you choose what to give your time and energy to?

So, there you go. Think on that kinda stuff and then come on out and let's talk!

    I am thinking of upgrading to a YES, but since its still tentative I will leave as a maybe. Lets say a 75% chance I'll be there.
