I feel the need to start… something to address this, but I don’t know what or how. We need to do more than just talk, but I don’t know what. Start a webring promoting marginalized feminists? Start a website attempting to redefine feminism as something that can include & support both moderate and radical objectives?

Start a publishing company of our own?

Because in addition to our own willful ignorance, there is the problem that the established media will always pick the less threatening voices of feminism - the ones only calling attention to one or two privileges - to promote as the voice of feminism.
