On maintaining friendships as a radfem

Are you interested in any areas where there's strong crossover? For example, I'm deep in the climate action movement and I've noticed that lots of people willing to take direct action for the climate or who realise big, serious, societal things need to change are far less likely to be worried about pronouns etc. Radical orgs like Deep Green Resistance have strong philosophies around them which work well with radical feminism. Their women's branch looks pretty cool to me - maybe there are some people part of that near you? It could be worth reaching out to them For me, I have these enviro friends, they're not all feminist friends but I know I don't have to worry about a slip up (like I would around libfems) as these people have a sound perspective on the scale of crises in the world. When people have an understanding of environmental exploitation and how capitalism, patriarchy and power drive that - then naturally they're more likely to agree and be against prostitution, for female liberation, new systems altogether etc. Plus, once you meet a couple radical feminist types in person, you can become friends with their friends too and grow your circle a little :)

At least, this is what I've found. Another reminder is that load of (if not most) women will agree with you against systems of prostitution etc. if you frame your concern in the right way. I have faith in you finding some community and new friends! Take care :)
