  The constant women bashing and gender war threads needs to stop.  It is unbelievably disheartening when you KNOW that you are different from the majority of feminist white modern women, and yet you STILL get lumped in with them here, no matter how hard you try to distance yourself from them.  It just seems like when I defend anything having to do with women, I am automatically labeled a liberal feminist here.   The most confusing thing is that no matter what side of the spectrum you're on, you still lose...  I have come across this attitude through a number of forums. It is both unfortunate and completely counterproductive. I honestly think that those who do nothing but complain about The Other(s) are not interested in actually  doing  anything positive. It's much easier to sit on the 'sidelines' and b**ch.     How to attract more women? Answer: Know their currency.  Women are not as active on a national political level because their concerns tend to be more locally-oriented; i.e. community building, child care, safety, education, etc.     I think WN tends to be dominated by those who just focus on larger and sometimes more abstract issues. Start at the grassroots level and build local community networks. White women will respond better if they know they have a local support system that will help them.       Examples:  A group of whites dedicate a certain numbers of hours per week to babysitting each others' children.   Carpooling   Start holding meetings with your neighbors regarding neighborhood issues.   Start a neighborhood watch.   Organize white parents in order to advocate for their children at school.   It may seem rather insignificant to some, but for women it's crucial. Women are very, very concerned about safety and stability. Build a local network that will deal with those issues. BUILD A TRIBE!    What attracted me?  I would much rather build community with those of the same ethnic/cultural background who value the same things I do...it facilitates much more stability.
