I've been going for the past four years, but somehow this year was oddly negative compared to the other three. I still enjoyed it and felt "recharged," as it were, but I also felt like there was more disrespect (women smoking where they shouldn't be; not doing workshifts; not picking up trash; etc.), less going on in terms of politics, more of a "party" atmosphere. And let's not even GET to the trans issue; that crap is seriously under my skin. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, my partner and I are applying to facilitate a "Feminism 101" kind of intensive next year, laying out the different strains of feminist thought (radical, liberal, socialist, et al) and suchlike. We'll see. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that you DID still feel fulfilled. Me, too. Fest just has that certain something, no matter what, it seems. :)cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345760792067650301noreply@blogger.com
