Feminism boards

Can the decision to split the boards be revisited? As I'm sure you are aware many of those who were very vocal about wanting and needing the split do not post. The chat side seems to receive very little traffic and as such some important threads get missed. Posters asking for advice often don't get answers as nobody sees their questions whereas the same question on the other board would get multiple responses. Scrolling through the threads there is not one that I can see that wouldn't fall under "sex and gender" as all the issues women face are due to their sexed bodies, how they are treated because of them, or expectations/restrictions based on perceived gender.

I like having them separate.

I would prefer to be able to talk about things like the terrible rape conviction rates. Pornography and the harm it is causing young girls in relationships. Domestic abuse

I don't see how all the trans stuff can really compare to these things, it's just not as important to me. Unfortunately on MN it only seems to be about trans issues which actually hardly have an impact on most peoples lives where these other things do

It's such a horrible toxic board and you can't hide it on a phone. App

But you can chose not to click on it and read it.

Yes, because women discussing how they can try to persuade people to keep men out of women’s changing rooms, sports teams , prisons and hospital wards is just so ….toxic .To whom , I wonder?
