global sisterhood
“All space becomes male space unless females maintain a concerted effort to mark a space for themselves.”
— Sheila Jeffreys
Sisterhood
The incomparable Julie Bindel, author of the book “Feminism for Women”, has a thing or two to say about working together. Here’s a snippet from the worthwhile 'Replatforming Deplatformed Women' lecture series of the Cambridge Radical Feminist Network:

Julie Bindel is a journalist, writer, broadcaster and researcher. She has been active in the global campaign to end violence towards women and children since 1979 and has written extensively on rape, domestic violence, sexually motivated murder, prostitution and trafficking, child sexual exploitation, stalking, and the rise of religious fundamentalism and its harm to women and girls.
In Australia and around the world, legislation is being introduced that replaces sex with gender identity. Advocates insist that there is no conflict of interests. But governments are not collecting data on the impacts of this legislative change. We're worried about the impacts on women of men using women-only spaces. If we can't collect data, we can at least collect stories.
If ever there was a woman who understands the dangers of transgenderism - this is her! Exulansic's Youtube videos are legend. This is what she says in her About section: "This channel is an ethnography documentation of the Church of Trans, its many offshoots, and the clear and present dangers of Young Earth Sexology. If you're a woman who was just called TERF for the first time for suggesting women exist, and you're wondering why, given that the true thing you said shouldn't be controversial, this is the channel for you. Historically grounded and scientifically skeptical Transwoman Exclusionary Radical Feminism (formerly known as "feminism")" Infuriatingly, her Youtube channel was permanently banned. Her Patreon account was also cancelled. But you can still find her on Odyssee, Instagram and Gettr.

Kelly-Jay Keen and her team have built this campaign to focus specifically on the word woman and other female language that clearly defines women and their rights. The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for promoting the fight back to this global assault on women. Throughout the legal framework of women's sex based rights and protections we use the word woman. It is essential that this word is retained to mean "adult human female" only. Without this word all of our rights and protections are lost.

The writer calling herself Garwhoungle: It’s 2022 and I’m watching, incredulous, as fundamentalist ideas about women, men and homosexuality are being pushed into policy and law under the guise of a progressive just-be-kind trans ideology. It’s happening where I am, Aotearoa New Zealand (by some of my oldest friends dammit) and around the world. Feelings presented as facts; harm presented as health; hardcore gender stereotypes presented as liberation. It’s looking grim for democracy and thought and tolerance. This feels historic, and I want to document what’s happening as it’s happening. I want to explore these ideas, and understand how we got here, and what comes next. I fully support all people being able to enjoy full, interesting and violence-free lives. Always have, always will. That’s why I’m here.
Laura Lopez: Science, psychology, politics, and everything else we love to argue about with our friends.
Broadsheet, New Zealand’s Feminist Magazine, was the central voice of feminist politics in New Zealand from 1972 to 1997. For some five years now, we have been working to present the entire Broadsheet collection online, initially through two channels. One is a website dedicated to Broadsheet; the other is on the pages of Papers Past, a project of the National Library of New Zealand which is now working to help "clear copyright" with those who wrote for or in other ways contributed to the magazine. Young women in New Zealand today have many more options than when we began publishing Broadsheet in 1972 but in many ways life for women is just as difficult now. Society is just as sexist. Men appear to be using violence to control women as much today as when feminists first talked about the problem in 1975. Young women say it is hard to find other feminists. This Facebook page is for feminists of of all ages to find each other and to discuss what’s good about life for women in New Zealand today and what needs to change. Enjoy!
