A great post about losing radical feminists

  • Jul. 28th, 2008 at 11:52 AM
This is from the Biting Beaver archive that some fabulous people set up.  I read it a while back, and thought it was amazing, eloquent, and put into words so many things that I feel and think, but have a hard time saying, and accepting. Now, with the events going on in the last few weeks, I'm reading it again, with immense sadness. Please check it out, here is an excerpt:

"This week we’ve lost yet another blogger, one more voice silenced in a string of courageous women who have gone before her. When I read the news I shook my head sadly and fought the wave of emotion that swept over me. Sadness and despair took me for a moment. In the short time I’ve been doing this I’ve watched as woman after woman has taken a big breath and decided to start blogs. The circle of radical feminist bloggers is too small, so very, very small, but their spirit and their fight is big. They start blogs, one small voice that has decided to speak out, and then it begins. The trolls invade, the ‘pro-sex’ bloggers take notice, hell sometimes even other radicals argue with them. The point is that oftentimes they will just sort of disappear one day."

Please read the whole thing:

BB was one of the best. I really hope she'll be back some day.
