Erin Pizzey, founder of the international battered women’s movement and the world’s first internationally recognized Women’s Refuge, early member of the women’s movement on the 1970s, friend to feminist icons such as Betty Friedan and Susan Brownmiller, bestselling author of numerous books on domestic violence as well as several bestselling novels, Men’s Human Rights Advocate, and Editor-At-Large for A Voice for Men, was featured in a groundbreaking interview here on The Moderate Voice, will be doing an “Ask Me Anything” interview on Reddit on Sunday, April 14th at 11am Eastern Time here in the US. (That would be tomorrow, as of this writing.)
Here is a promotional video for the event:
Please spread word to anyone who is interested in domestic violence, child abuse, men’s issues, women’s issues, and so on, for this rare historic opportunity to ask anything you want of the pioneer of the anti-domestic violence movement, this early member of the women’s movement of the 1970s, and supporter of the modern Men’s Human Rights Movement any questions you want. Make your questions light and fun, or as tough and hard-hitting as you want. The one thing we ask is that you be polite and respectful and not engage in arguments with others; this conversation is with Erin, and not any petty squabbles with others asking questions.
We expect the event to run about 3 hours, however Erin says she’ll do it as long as she can and may be back for followup questions in the following days if there’s time. All are welcome, let’s give her as much support for her life and work as we can!
The thread will appear on Reddit’s Ask Me Anything section 30-60 minutes before the event begins, so just look for her name and she’ll be there, with a friend (yours truly) to help her with typing. We hope everyone from The Moderate Voice can attend!
*Urgent Update*: The original version of this article linked to the wrong part of Reddit, make sure if you already bookmarked it or announced it elsewhere to tell people it is going to be at http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA and not the earlier link that just ended in “/AMA”. My mistake, sorry gang!
