(no subject)

Just cause feminist has new mods doesn't mean it won't bring up the same old discussions and same old arguments: case in point; I wasn't even trying to focus on the whole weight loss thing (I know, I know, y'all rightly have a hard time believing that), but to point out that in my view feminism isn't about happy dappy sisterly love no matter what. Although it's interesting that we believe women need that - and wondering why women might need that would be a damn fine feminist discussion. But even I'm tired of trotting out the same "question your choice" arguments to people who don't hear them (not, by the way, that I don't think any of those folk will hear the argument - but many of them haven't yet despite hearing it a million times).

And asking a question isn't negativity, people. Even saying your choice doesn't make sense to me isn't negativity; it's engagement and discussion - if we actually listen and learn from each other.

Which is why I guess WHB really does still serve a purpose, and why it will probably be reincarnated soon as an LJ community. Stay tuned.
