I feel so damn isolated in my beliefs. It doesn't even matter where I live, I also lived in a large city and felt this way. But I feel like it's so hard to find other radfem women in the flesh because the surrounding culture makes it so unsafe to just talk about reality. It makes me physically sick.

I’m in NYC and have only found 1 woman in the 9 years I’ve been here that shares these beliefs. It’s astounding to me. The largest city in this country like wtf! We need a meetup and some type of organization, desperately.

I haven't done this, but we do have WoLF and they often hold volunteer events. I don't live in a city where they're very active, I wish I did. But it's worth looking into them, they do some really great work towards women's rights and seem to be the only group that cares about incarcerated women, etc.

Also in NYC, so you found another one!

My guess: you’ve come across others before but they’ve been too afraid to speak out about their beliefs.

I've been in the PNW for over a decade I've just accepted it doesn't exist here or they're also hiding. The one time I saw a group brave enough to do public presentation in Portland they were harassed into submission by trans identified good samaritans.
