There is also a public page. If you were not added to the group by someone else, you are not seeing all the posts by any stretch of the imagination. She's got moderators from all over the world actually deleting posts with a negative spirit so that helps a lot I think. I'm not sure if the posts are all approved before they show up too. Haven't made a post. I especially loved watching the group grow. I felt a little left out when I was added and there were already something like 250,000 members. There are over 2.5 million now!! Post to have to be approved before they show up on the page |

All posts have to be approved by a moderator first (and it seems that not all are getting through - I think they are slammed with posts). |

It has been making me so happy to read the stories and see the posters. I don't call a thing inspirational very often (at least not without irony), but it truly is an inspirational group.

I still really wish that this had somehow been public (without trolls). I think it could have been a positive force in this election.

But I didn't mean somebody on here. I read the first page, I get how it works it was more of an exclamation of, "Well I got to make this happen!" I posted on my FB page so hopefully someone can hook me up. If not, I'll come here and beg for a friend. |

That sounds really cool. Now I want to buy a pantsuit.

I love the stories.
They are making me cry.
They are making me proud.
I feel uplifted by them.
Still scared about the possible outcome, though, but Pantsuit Nation has been a bright spot today for me.

The live at Susan B Anthony gravesite post made me tear up. There is a long of voters waiting to place their I Voted stickers on her grave stone.

There is a secret group on Facebook called pantsuit nation. I am so moved by the stories and love that I see on that page. I wish that everyone could see it, but understand why it isn't public. Is anyone else a part of this group? What are your thoughts? That's amazing for all you women who are 'selected' and 'privileged' enough to be part of a (now not so) SECRET group. I'm happy for you. I'm slightly less happy that we have yet another selective group of people telling the rest of us poor saps how we are not worthy of being including in something. Whether or not it is a group I would personally even deem worthy of a second look, there are clearly some who feel that they would love to belong and are excluded. Personally, I see enough of the stories I love shared here and on FB and do not feel the need for a secret group, let alone one I would promote at the same time as promoting the fact that it is is 'invitation only'.  |

I'm sorry you feel excluded. With all the election vitriol out there, I'm thrilled to have a place to go that's devoid of negativity and focuses on what's positive and uplifting. I didn't seek the group out, I was added by a friend, and I'm grateful to her. |

You go and rock your positive feelings and your happiness - my point was, why would anyone come here to say 'hey, there's a little secret society I am a part of...hey me' and 'YOU ARE NOT and can't be a part of it UNLESS INVITED' - on a PUBLIC message board  I might just be deluded, but my initial reaction is along the lines of 'fuck you and your supposed exclusiveness' - I'm glad you girls have fun, have a great time. |

I didn't come away with that feeling at all. I'm sorry you did.  If it was a secret group that was closed to new members, then yes, I would think it was pretty sucky to bring it up since no one else could join. But right here in this thread there have been offers to bring people into the group, and one FB search was all it took for me to find a name of someone else on FB willing to let supporters into the group. It's a pretty huge secret group, so obviously getting into it isn't very difficult. A lot of peas here haven't heard of it before and this thread has given anyone interested a chance to go seek out the group and enjoy the stories. That seems like a good thing to me. I'm sorry it came off so completely opposite to you.  Save |

The group is only secret to keep out trolls and keep the group positive. And there are people who don't feel safe posting publicly so the group is a safe place for them. It was not meant to be exclusive at all. Sorry if anybody felt left out. Again, I am happy to add anybody if they want in. Just message me!

I think your vitriol is misplaced Secret/closed groups are usually not intended to create exclusivity but rather either promote privacy due to subject matter (I'm in some financial ones) or limit their audiences to keep the message on tone (basic moderation). I sincerely doubt this group could have maintained its positivity and tone if anyone could access it. Multiple peas have offered invites for those interested so I'm not sure where you get the mean girl secret society vibe from. |

I'm in - and was added by someone I never expected to be wearing a pantsuit! If you want in, send me a PM. I'll add you.
Thank you OP for posting about this. I didn't know about it. I appreciate the head's up on something not so secret.

When I posted, I wasn't intending to come across as negative and elitist, or whatever the other person said. I was enjoying the stories and was moved by them, and wanted to share with others.
