this isnt meant to be intellectually well thought out I am just venting. Just been told women's suffrage needs re-evaluating by a BNP member.

I know I have invited comment and criticism on myself by writing about the BNP on my blog but I am still smarting a bit from it. I've just been told by one particularly insulting BNP man that all I have done is exemplify why women's suffrage should be re-evaluated. Yesterday (on FB) a bnp man sent me a message saying I looked tasty. I am just ranting for a minute because it all turns my stomach somewhat.

I know it is my own fault because I am willingly and eagerly writing my opinions on a public forum and it doesnt make me want to stop doing that or change it but I just feel angry at the moment and wanted to let off steam.

eek just posted then lost the post somehow

was just saying DH and I were talking about this and of course you are right. You could write something very true and good about human rights and Hitler would have torn it to pieces but it doesnt mean you are wrong or that you shouldnt have written it. It is totally illogical and irrational to be even slightly upset over it so I think that is why I am annoyed with myself.

Kudos to you for doing it - it was never going to be easy!

And the nasty bigoted type people who have found your blog were always likely to post in a nasty bigoted way... wonder if removal of women's vote is official BNP policy, or just on the 'maybe' pile?!

Winter lemon sandcastle. FACT!
Hey, that works well! Might use it on MN...

I do know it is my own fault for inviting it. If I kept my head down and just wrote about all the other stuff I write about it wouldnt be happening. But I feel so strongly about this and I am trying to learn my lessons from history and not sit and do nothing so I am doing it. So I will take the shit for it, I hope you all understand that. I just feel upset about it at the moment & I dont want that to appear on the blog so I am talking about it here.

thank you. I just feel so shit atm. I have been trying to reply in a calm non-offensive way and it has just seemed like abuse. And I am upset because I know the people who support my views are far more than those who do not but they are not posting. Its the ones who hate me posting. It just feels a bit shit atm but it doesnt matter I'll get over it. I am still going to do it.

I like your post, and I like your idea of listing people who would be affected if the BNP got what they want.
You are entitled to go 'aargh' a bit about the dreadful comments. (I am PMSL at some of them too - 'Liberals are united in hate. Fact!' )
