Yabu - in less than a week Pottering about the feminist section, I spotted with depressing regularity posts putting other women down, thick, ignorant, stupid, and so on and forth. I see women on there who regularily bully other posters while everyone turns a blind eye because to intervene results in a "Internet lashing". It's a damn shame, because there are really, really, interesting posters in there, whose "voices" get drowned out, there were a few things that really grabbed my attention and I would have liked to explore, but I hid all threads I was on along with hiding the section as best I can, a few days ago. I'm not bothered by the insure thrown at me, because that happens from the same group of posters anyway, it's the total dimissiveness of other women that gets me. That said - I do object to being called vile, a domestic violence excuser, a rape apologist and i am sure a few other pseudo intellectual insults if I could be bothered to think. I wouldnt ina million years share a label with a group of women who regularily tear other women to shreds and I don't care much for the see no evil, hear no evil blindness that occurs. Therefore as far as mumsnet goes - I AM NOT A FEMINIST and never will be.
