Ok HOFers, reactivating our group.

This is a safe place away from any sexism and misogyny. We know a woman running for president can bring out the worst in some and in the media. We are here to support one another and KAMALA HARRIS!

Go KAMALA.

Let’s get our sisterhood on! Check in one and all!

It will be nice to be able to come here.

I am not looking forward to the endless attacks.

One thing that is different is that Harris is going to fight hard and was not raised in the era that I was raised in, and those older than me....the one where to survive we had defer and create pauses.... just to survive. I get the idea that she will be on the offensive from the start and this is what is exactly what is called for.

Hopefully fewer outside disruptors this time around...*

(*I still remember the bad 'ole days of old when we had to deal with quite a few "Mens Rights" type trolls coming over to harass... Maybe a different atmosphere now, given their forum is no more and most of those "regulars" are gone).
