let's not call Deep Green

let's not call Deep Green Resistance an ecofeminist group, since most of the ecofeminism I'm familiar with is produced by women of color and is not a "movement" founded by one white woman and two white men... also ecofeminism, again as I understand it, generally has a DEEPLY anti-oppressive praxis, and DGR doesn't seem too good at caring about ending the oppression of anyone or anything except "the planet" or "the wild" or whatever.
ecofeminism is way too high a praise for a transphobic, dogmatic group like DGR.
