I have gotten some truly wonderful replies to the question I asked yesterday: Should Feminism Sunday continue now that I'm aware of more women writing on the topic on the blockchain, or should I focus instead on allyship?

soyrosa@soyrosa, betterbeing@betterbeing, and tessaragabrielle@tessaragabrielle brought in the possibility of writing on the topic when I'm inspired to, and not as a regular thing. But for me, with my ADHD and busy schedule doing other things, having these daily anchors in incredibly helpful.

soyrosa@soyrosa, betterbeing@betterbeing, and lilyraabe@lilyraabe all pointed to the specific shortage of men writing about feminism on the blockchain. That is a point well taken.

natureofbeing@natureofbeing wrote that she still sees an overall shortage of writers on feminism. And while that is improving, she's right.

tessaragabrielle@tessaragabrielle made a point that is disheartening but true: That some will be more open to hear about feminism from a man.

orangina@orangina preferred posts about allyship, whereas trucklife-family@trucklife-family and soyrosa@soyrosa thought I could do both.

Taking all of the responses in, it seems people think there's is still some value to feminism posts by a man on the blockchain, but that posts about allyship would also be useful.

So I thought

So from now on, Feminism Sunday will be bi-weekly. On alternate weeks - starting next Sunday - I'll have Allyship Sunday, where I'll talk about the work allies should do, how allyship is a process, and also about some things allies should avoid doing.
