I do have a priority to support these groups. But I have decided to stop
support for women. I have been attacked by them 3 times because I speak my
mind out. (I know I should speak less.) The other groups have taken my
opinions as such, not as personal attacks. A couple groups that defend
women's rights have attacked me instead of exchanging ideas and accepting
that I do not have to do as they wish unless they convince me. So I have
decided to remove my support for women unless one of these groups proves
they deserve my support again by being reciprocal in supporting my own
values and the people in our group instead of attacking us.
