1. I don't know about "real feminists..."
but it is interesting. It makes me wonder about what's going on in Denmark.

Someone recently was holding Denmark up as an example because they have such open (and extreme) pornography and prostitution as if that is good for society - esp. the women. (Maybe it isn't).

On the one hand - I think the idea of groups of women banding together to protect each other - strength in numbers is a good one - where necessary. On the other hand - some of it sounds like vigilantism.


This was interesting:

»Don't put up with being told to stay at home because men commit rape.« And to the men: »We call upon all men to – as a gesture of solidarity – stay home at night, or only go out accompanied by a woman after eight o'clock in the evening, until all women can move freely.«
