Got some sympathy from some for our situation. Gave away leaflets, made a few sales, chatted with some sympathisers and ex-members, got some contacts. Witnessed an ugly incident outside. An Australian supporter of Wikileaks who was addressing an outdoor meeting was shouted down by a group of feminists chanting "rape apologist" and "no platform". And we thought anarchists were supposed to be in favour of free speech. Perhaps they were anarcho-trots.

October 21, 2013 at 7:26 am #96926ALBKeymasterAccording to the discussion of this incident on Urban75 they were "intersectionalists" (whatever they are, some kind of "identity politics", I think)

Here's another from another of them in which she admits that at one point they were chanting "Kill all men":http://samambreen.wordpress.com/2013/10/20/there-is-no-anarchism-without-feminism/I thought this sort of stuff had died out 30 years ago.
