    Due to my encounters with feminism in Europe (UK mostly) being so full of fail, I would love to make a zine on intersectional feminism in Europe (because focusing only on UK-based articles would get me like two or three entries by the same person)

    Tell me how feminism has or has not had anything to do with your life as someone on different gender, preference, size, nationality, race, physical/mental/emotional abilities, socioeconomical background, or anything else that defines you as a person, while living in Europe. How do you feel your entire life, as someone who identifies as a feminist (or if not, why? What has disenchanted you about the movement? Do you call yourself a womanist? Egalitarian? Humanist? Something to run away from awful experiences in so-called feminist groups? What were these experiences like?), under circumstances way diverse to basic White, cis, able-bodied, thin, protestant, born in your country of residence, your country of residence’s language as a first language, middle-class or upper-class, heterosexual, from a hetereosexual nuclear family, no problem walking the streets at night, cookie-cutter people? How do you acknowledge the privileges you have, how do you make life less tougher for the ones who don’t have them, and what would make your life less tougher under your current ‘disadvantages’? I don’t know. I’m just raving. I’m having tons of ideas right now, but I want this to be done.

    Please, send me messages if you want in, or signal-boost if you feel like you don’t completely feel like you could do something. Letting this be known and spread is enough work.

    To get an idea of the sort of thing I’m looking for, please read this article by Flavia Dzodan if you haven’t. And anything by her in general on Tiger Beatdown.

    signal booooooooost!
