"Poll question: Do you feel that these boards are open to the perspectives of feminists ..."


          

Hoping folks can help me out with something. As part of my assignment for a class I had to pick a website, then observe and assess whether or not it was a feminist (of color) and racialized space. I obviously picked these boards and created a new profile to complete my evaluation.

I have been monitoring threads and have developed some of my own conclusions, but I would be interested to see what y'all think. If you could respond to the poll or ideally leave your thoughts below on whether these boards are friendly to feminist and queer perspectives, especially those from folks of color, I would appreciate it.

Happy to share my final assignment here should anyone be interested, and happy to talk more about racialization, online feminism, or my own positionality. Also feel free to tell me to fuck off.

Thanks
