Twitter #FeministLoveins : Celebrating Sisterhood!

Posted on 00:23 by Unknown

I've written recently about the negative aspects of twitter with the online bullying, cliques and some, frankly, ridiculous behaviour.  

Sometimes I focus so much on the negative and worrying about being trolled that I miss the good stuff. This week I have had several really inspiring conversations with women on 3 continents. I've discussed pornography, reality television, rape, racism, children, cats and women's literature. 

I forget what a privilege it is to converse with so many women and learn from our collective wisdom. Our lives and our feminisms differ dramatically but the sisterhood still exists. We just need to celebrate it more. We need to celebrate our strengths and our weaknesses. We need to stop expecting perfection from our sisters. We stop pretending that feminism is the Borg where we all must think the same thing or we're not feminists.

So, I'm having a twitter #feministlovein today for all the amazing women who've inspired me, held my hand, made me rage, made me laugh, made me cry and most importantly made me a better feminist.

(Sensibly, when I started this list I only put the first names. I'm going through to add either last names or twitter handles so others can follow them too, which is what I should have done from the beginning:) )

*This is only a list of women from Twitter. The list would be twice as long if I included the amazing feminists on Facebook.
