42 Meetup Groups match “Feminism” near Middletown, CT
Male supremacy must end. Oppression and violence is not natural nor inevitable and neither is patriarchy or any other kind of kyriarchy (a neologism meaning a collection of interlocking and intersecting systems of oppression). Radical feminism, in the truest sense of the word 'Radical', is about going to the root of the systems of oppression that we all participate in and perpetuate, creating change from the ground up and making the world a better, equal, non-oppressive place. We believe change …

Safe spaces coupled with open house discussions are invaluable to a comfortable and inclusive environment. Our group will meet to discuss women's issues and the role of women in the secular and humanist community, as well as host social activities that encourage a supportive and vibrant community. We will also find ways to suppo …
The group name is inspired by the New York Times Bestseller of the same title, written by the hilarious Caitlin Moran, which argues that feminism still has a place in this world, and that we should embrace it! Let's get together informally and redefine what it means to be a modern feminist woman. No background in feminism required; just an interest in meeting and learning from each other while having a good time.
The purpose of this group is to unite those who are keen on gender inequality and feel a need to discuss and change it.It's a place to acknowledge and explore what it means to be a feminist over dinner, coffee, and whatever else tickles out feminist fancies :)
Hoping to start an all-crafts-friendly group in the greater New Haven area, with an emphasis on crocheting and knitting. As you can see by the description, I am looking for people who are into the Riot Grrl ethos (though the group is not meant to be gender specific in any way). Would like to find a place to meet where we can listen to music we all enjoy, while we share our experiences and techniques in the crafting world. All levels of skill are welcome- never started? I'm sure someone will be a …

We view women's leadership as decisive to social change and train women to take their place in the forefront of the struggle. Radical Women is an autonomous, all-wome …

I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.

Somewhere between the bland politeness we reserve for extended relatives and the vitriolic disdain we show our arch enemies, our society houses a more wholesome middle ground... This is where individuals can disagree considerably but respectfully, and where listening to opposing opinions brings understanding and empathy rather than contempt and distance. I'd like for the majority of this meetup to be one-on-one (or small group) semi-structured discussions, where attendants identify areas of sign …

A group for Pagans, polytheists, occultists, and others, of many different paths and all genders, who revere Lilith as a Goddess. For most of the past few thousand years, Lilith was regarded as a demoness and nothing more. In the 20th century, She was reclaimed by some Pagans and feminists as a more positive figure, representing female independence, sexuality, and vehement opposition to tyranny. Some other modern occultists revere Her simply as a chthonic figure, rather than as a revolutionary. …
