Male supremacy must end. Oppression and violence is not natural nor inevitable and neither is patriarchy or any other kind of kyriarchy (a neologism meaning a collection of interlocking and intersecting systems of oppression). Radical feminism, in the truest sense of the word 'Radical', is about going to the root of the systems of oppression that we all participate in and perpetuate, creating change from the ground up and making t …

No specific agenda except to work out how meetings will function and some common visions and goals. Where the group goes and what the group does is entirely up to the individuals involved.

The media regularly report about the problems - and sometimes fault those complaining. Hardly ever does anyone report on the root causes - including examples of outright dishonesty and fraud. Not surprisingly, the "exper …
