Page 2 | Not quite right - interlinks between the feminism board

Just FYI the new text and linking between the two feminism boards is a bit mucked up and needs a fix. The one on feminism: chat has the right link to the other one but the text calls it the women’s rights board, which it is the old name from before it became feminism: sex and gender The one on feminism: sex and gender seems to be missing some of the text, and the link is to the same board rather than to the feminism: chat board

Yes I bought an XL box of intersectional feminism and it wasn't until I got home that I noticed a sneaky label on the bottom, "May contain nuts"!!

True intersectionality is a perfectly legitimate and worthwhile aspect of feminism. Its just when people add men into their definition of feminism that it renders the definition a meaningless oxymoron.

This is really confusing!

At the moment I am seeing this - is this after the "fix" that was supposed to happen ASAP on 28 Nov, 9:44 ?

Feminism: Chat
A forum for feminist chat including modern feminism and feminism theory. See also our Feminism: sex & gender discussion board.

Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
A feminism forum for sex and gender discussions, feminist chat, theory and intersectional feminism.

(With no link in the description to "Feminism: Chat")

There doesn't seem to be much point in there being two Feminism boards. There is so much overlap and sometimes duplication of topics. The women who wanted the split seem to have abandoned ship or they would be kicking up a stink on "Feminism Chat" about "sex & gender" type discussions polluting their space.

The really weird thing is including "intersectional feminism" in the description of "Feminism: Sex & gender discussions".

It was the "intersectional feminists" who wanted the radical feminists booted out of "Feminist Chat" and into a separate "Women's Rights" aka "Sex & Gender" Board so they, the "intersectional feminists", could have "Feminism" all to themselves.

Now, despite having apparently got bored with Mumsnet and cleared off, they have got both "Feminist: Chat" (so-called "modern feminism") AND "Women's Rights" aka "Sex & Gender" ("intersectional feminism").

Nowhere is "radical feminism" mentioned, which is ridiculous if you want to start dividing up Boards into different sorts of feminism as "radical feminism" is the predominant flavour of most feminist posts on both boards - but particularly "Women's Rights" aka "Sex & Gender".

This mess just shows that it never made sense to split FWR in the first place - and that whoever wrote those descriptions has not got the foggiest idea what they are talking about.

Excellent post (although I'm getting flashbacks to that time they made a Radical Feminism topic to put Dittany in 😬).

I wholeheartedly agree: This mess just shows that it never made sense to split FWR in the first place.

Please consider re-merging the boards MNHQ.

Intersectionality is now about as fashionable as brown bri nylon underpants.
Has Mumsnet gone retro?
Are we now 2015 Tumblr?

Also, what is modern feminism?

The kind which centres men, particularly white, MC lefty liberal men. 🙄

Weird wording on both pages.

Titerama · 28/09/2023 13:22

Wrong link gone, but now no link to feminism chat

And sex and gender board is described as for intersectional feminism 🤔

Not quite right - interlinks between the feminism board

I had thought perhaps the two boards were going to be merged back.

Hi OP

Thanks so much for flagging this - we're looking into it now and will have it fixed ASAP.
