I'm also suspicious of its motives and curious about its funders.
as for those 'feminists' found on threads loudly defending the right to bare boobs -- where the hell are they? half of them were gungeon types and trolls. a fourth were 'get yer middle eastern war on' types.
maybe a fourth were actually feminists in any real sense of the word. and they're not here; female poverty & poverty generally = not sexy & no one's going to do shit about it.
