Your argument is that you provide a space for feminists to interact with people who oppose us. I’d say we’ve got the rest of the world where we do that all the time and the rest of the internet for that matter. I don’t think feminist discourse is assisted by sexists who continually try to elbow their way into feminist spaces and attempt to disrupt the discussion. It’s not a refusal to engage with arguments, we do engage, we have to engage, it’s a refusal to engage in feminist space with the bigots who make those arguments.

Again, whose interests is this platform expected to serve? What is the point?

Amp’s trying to run a weblog that speaks out from a feminist or profeminist perspective and to keep active discussion going in the comments section. That much is clear. But do all feminist projects aim at creating feminist spaces in the sense intended here? Is Amp trying to do that? Should he be? (Is a public weblog run by a man really suited to creating the space of a c-r group?)
