I don?t think anyone knows who I am but I am going to write a Flouncing Manifesto anyway so that I have a record that I resolved to bugger off (for now at least) and get some other stuff done.
Here is why I am buggering off:
The feminist section is boring, now, and I am offended by mn?s general clueless treatment of it.
It's not that it is not feminist enough, because I accept that mn is not a feminist space and all are welcome. It's that it is stupid and boring because genuine analysis has been treated as dangerous and inappropriate. Which is not to say that there is nothing interesting on there, there is, and lots of good posters, but it's dominated by trite waffle, which may be notionally PARD but actually offensive to anyone with half a brain cell.
It depresses me overall how unfeminist mainstream society is and this is most poignantly apparent on a site populated mostly by women, speaking their minds as bluntly as people tend to do online (the bluntness is not a problem, the women-having-a-go-at-women-for-not-meeting-patriarchal-standards is, it is boring and depressing)
On that note: the more I hang around here, the higher the chance that I will aimlessly drift onto a thread where some poor soul who was just looking for a bit of sympathetic chat is being slagged off by hatchet faced scrubbers for not being some kind of superwoman, and I hate all that, and if I just go away completely I won?t find myself reading it by mistake, ever again.
The low-carb threads are great but I know how to low-carb now and I need to stop obsessing. Thankyou for all the support but I would prefer to let that side of my life run itself for a bit if possible.
Hardly anyone ever goes to the spa any more. I would love to chat to all former spa-dwellers but clearly they aren?t there so that is not a possibility.
I have too much to do to be doing anything that is not good for me, or someone else!
So all the best, everyone.
