Apparently.

I am a little saddened that a forum mostly used by women, has decided that the feminist boards are the most frightening of the forum.

Why do we feel that is? What can be done to prevent people from feeling so intimidated that they are too scared t post?

See, SEE what happens to sensible threads when I post?

Dittany, one day soon I will find the time to educate myself

I struggle sometimes to articulate an argument, or to form a clear opinion not encumbered by society's crap overview

this board helps me lots, but I could do better

I love this section of MN and often send links of various threads from it to DD to make her think.

The feminism topic appears angry because there is a lot to be angry about.

I really dislike tone-trolling ("if only you said it more nicely").

It's OK PAFPM, I was wiping them because I'd rolled them at BooFuckingHoo and she'd rolled them back!

Indeed Peter.

I am particularly low brow by this boards standards but what i have picked up on these boards has really made a difference to the way i view many things.
I find myself challenging things in every day life that i simply wouldn't even have recognised before.

I am seeing patriachal opression in places i would never even have noticed before.

That is why i am dissapointed to see that so many women are put off from posting or even lurking here. You don't need a PHD in feminist theory to absorbe some of the more basic principles.

BooyFuckingHoo · 26/02/2011 00:11

ok, but jsut because I'm paranoid doesn't mean you aren't talking about me Wink

PeterAndreForPM · 26/02/2011 00:11

I still don't "know" much

but I have my instincts, that are often validated by this board

so that's ok by me
