I find the reference to us on their blog quite hurtful.

i agree with Winter.

Also it seems in somewhat bad faith to create a new feminist group in an area without inviting members of the old group to be a part of it

Agreed, it does kind of make us look like tools, plus I'm not sure where it's coming from.

Have your say

In order to keep this blog as a feminist and friendly space, comments will be subject to some rules. We do not seek to censor debate: the beauty of the internet is that anyone can set up their own blog or website to express their views.

This blog is a safe and friendly space for feminists and feminist allies. Debate and critique are welcome where it is constructive and deepens analysis or understanding. Anti-feminist comments will not be approved. We get to decide what's anti-feminist.
All comments must be approved by one of the bloggers. For this reason, there may be a delay before your comment appears.
No sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, classist, ablist comments, comments which make personal attacks on any blogger or commenter, or comments that are otherwise deemed offensive by us will be posted.
Trolls will be banned from commenting. We get to decide who is a troll.
No anonymous comments - please feel free to use your real name or make one up, though.
Be nice.
