I dunno, I find my main reaction is to say, "Don't take names to yourself, Smeagol," but I hope that the community is what you want it to be.

Thank you!

That expresses what was on the edge of my mind but not grabbing words for itself. Both counts.



I think that when I was surrounded almost exclusively by strong feminists, this idea would have tickled me without giving rise to any reservations. But now I spend a lot of time with women who would not want to call themselves feminists and are, in many ways, different from what I would call feminist, and I feel a little bleaker about the whole thing.

Laughter and the willingness to create something, with humor and energy, to meet an unmet need of your own and the community's - that's pretty cool, though.
