The structured bits were the best bits for me. I felt very cast adrift last year when the program basically didn't happen. I don't recall having a problem with personally confrontational content. I'm not keen on abstract academic feminism, but am quite comfortable with the idea of wandering off at those times. Fire is good.

Something else that's out of your control is the acoustics in the main meeting hall. It's so boomy that I can't understand a word if there are too many conversations going at once. So in theory when people are most relaxed and just generally chatting, I'm at my most isolated.
