Shout out to my friends in the History of Feminism group [View all]

Happy New Year. Two years ago there was an epic flame war on DU and I was on one side and many of the folks who founded the History of Feminism group were on the other side. And then, a wonderful thing happened. We reached across our differences. We stopped letting trolls divide us. We recognized that we had a lot in common - notably, a strong interest in talking about feminism on DU.

I've been a proud member of this group for a long time. I just want to say hello in solidarity to my buddies in the HoF group! Rock on.
