Maybe we need to have a discussion on "What's 101".
Because to me, all the things covered in the various "how not to derail" resources are 101, and the things you're talking about are Remedial Concepts.
Maybe I need to reset my parameters.
As far as public vs. private posts - I think that depends on the goal of this community. Is it education of the members, or is it education of a larger group, or something else?
Because I don't think the group as it exists can offer meaningful insight into intersectionality and feminism to a wider readership. I think it's potentially a great space for learning as a group, but to do that, some careful group expansion needs to take place. There *are* people who are willing to do 101 coaching in various -isms, and who are interested in catching up on the places where they themselves need coaching. That's what I was hoping for, anyway. I'm not up on trans issues as much as I'd like to be, although I have a better grounding there than most (I'm out of date); I'm not always up to date of mainstream feminist issues. I only have a really good grasp of a corner of PoC issues, I could stand to learn more.
