Also there are a bunch of stupidly censored words here like l.olita and some website names (which gets really obnoxious why trying to post links).

Yeah, I totally understand why you're focusing on me rather than what I'm saying if you don't know where I'm coming from. That can really help out with getting through difference to understanding and so on. I'm actually pretty surprised (and sorry!) that my ideas are coming across so badly! I'm usually pretty good at telling people what I think.
So far what I've been trying to say is that I felt dread about the blog's attitude because I've seen people try this one before and it hasn't worked well. It rang alarm bells as one of those 'girl-power' things which often really backfires on the (usually young) women who engage in it. I'm just speaking from my perspective, maybe it's worked wonderfully in other circles! When I was in my late teens I met a lot of girls who tried "funfeminism" and then left when it wasn't fun anymore. It makes me sad because the "fun" sometimes buries the important issues. Which is such a shame because it's great for a great movement to be fun! Women have so many horrifying truths to discover about their own oppression that a strong social connection including good support is something that would be really helpful.
The word filter thing really annoys and confuses me .__. some of those words are pretty important hahaha
