INTENTION

Am surprised there was actually a day or so of wbw bonding before the sexism and misogyny kicked in.
Once again, the message we are expected to swallow is women do NOT have the right to define their own needs, to define their space, or to define anything with someone else's approval.
And, just as important, those who seek to demand their approval and acceptance of what women can and should do are again blindsided by their own needs at the expense of anyone elses needs.
Nazi-ism is all about inflicting the will of some on the lives of others. So is patriarchy, so is fascism, so is totalitarianism, so is heterosexuality.
And once again those people who are champions of diversity are demonstrating that others expressing and living their diversity is not well tolerated.
Either you believe in diversity or you dont. Either you live your diversity and allow others to live theirs, or you dont. Either you believe in live and let live, or you dont. Either you walk the talk or you dont.
Thus, if you really and truly believe in diversity you allow people to talk about how wonderful this experience was for them and why, and to recount their memories as they process the depth of the impact this has and will have on their lives.
And, the rest of us, should be comfortable bearing witness to and validating such an opportunity for bonding and growth.
If you want people to accept, respect, and celebrate your diversity, you need to accept, respect and celebrate theirs.
Otherwise, it is just hypocrisy with a queer twist.
