I'm fairly new to feminism. I naively thought the purpose was women supporting each other against those seeking to hurt our rights.

Today my belief was torn away.
Ive seen woman being nasty, viscous, spiteful, who rather than stand together undermine the efforts of other women

Women too bitter to acknowledge the good one woman has done herself and the courage of the Aus women speaking. How she has raised the profile of women's rights in a calm and dignified way, even under attack. In a voice that people are listening to.

All completely ignored...

To score points against her for something she not only had no control over but something that didn't dignify a response.

It's shocking to see women do this.
It's not a feminism I want any part of.
I will continue to support women, especially #transwidows to highlight our lives

But if feminism means tearing those you don't agree with apart you can stick it.
This behaviour is what puts women off joining us. It's like a school gate clique with a head agitator and it hurts women.

Don't tell me you care about women when you treat them worse than men do.
