Even if she doesn't understand everything about it, it seems like she's making an effort, and isn't that what counts? I think it takes guts to be criticized for something, and accept that criticism and try and learn from it. It seems that that's what she's doing. And THAT is what I want in my feminist leaders.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384263137383065723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958755632551920246.post-23558486937790969102010-04-07T07:15:38.376-04:002010-04-07T07:15:38.376-04:00Thanks for this post, I completely agree.

To dismiss someone's life work because they were involved in one admittedly dodgy festival is just stupid.<br /><br />It's possible that Hanna just didn't know much about the trans movement in the past, many feminists didn't and still don't. Being a feminist is a huge learning curve. You may make mistakes and you won't know everything as soon as you claim the title 'feminist'.<br /><br />I think she is now a supporter of the trans movement, not saying she wasn't before, as she mentioned them on her interview at grit tv.Chenilla-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448713549760446923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958755632551920246.post-58082510123369796082010-03-30T14:38:25.459-04:002010-03-30T14:38:25.459-04:00"To suggest it's her whole belief system ..."To suggest it's her whole belief system is ridiculous" -- well said, Maggie! <br /><br />Thanks so much for getting it. I was afraid my point might not be so clear and that I would just end up upsetting people or hurting feelings.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384263137383065723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958755632551920246.post-42033325234722734372010-03-29T17:30:09.699-04:002010-03-29T17:30:09.699-04:00I think KH introduced a lot of females who were te...I think KH introduced a lot of females who were teens or in college during the mid-ninties to feminism, and made them aware that gender rights was still important even in the blase nineties (when females really had no prominent strong female role models to look up to).<br />I can only imagine that people who weren't impacted by her are the ones saying these things--either younger or older women. <br />While I question her support of an exclusive music festival--I believe in equal rights, not special rights--to suggest it's her whole belief system is ridiculous.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040997944255463010noreply@blogger.com
