It's a year today.

I don't think TomTech knew quite what he was unleashing.

(Just out of interest, if you didn't realise it was a year, did you think it was longer or shorter?)

Oh maybe i should read the newer threads on old topics then. I dont want to come across as overly critical of the feminism section, i think its fab really.

I'm sorry you think it's going round and round Darlene, I don't feel like that at all.
of course the same topics do come up but I think the analysis gets deeper each time, and the situation feminism finds itself in at the moment is so dynamic that even similar issues have a different context.

I would have thought it was slightly more than a year.

Posted a lot at the start, not so much now.

Same old topics go round and round and round. I suppose that's the same with a lot of mn though.

I should make more of an effort with the book club.

Gosh has it been a year already?

I don't post as much as I would like to, as have a lot on at the moment, but am so grateful to all those who do post, and I lurk when I can.

Am always learning loads and just generally loving MN feminism.

Yes to feminist emoticon and THANK YOU dittany for being the principal inspiration behind the birth of this section. Smile

ahhhh HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVELY FEMINIST SECTION! [feminist fist in air emoticon]

I can't quite believe it's a year, it's been absolutely bloody brilliant so far, and what with some of us meeting up at real events, and the banner coming on, and all the letters we've written, and the boycotting, and the tweeting and the general day to day agitation, I think we've proved that feminism is alive and determined.

I have learnt an unbelievable amount, and more than anything this place makes me feel supported and equipped to confront sexism and misogyny wherever I find it.

So THANK YOU all for that. You are a wonderful bunch of women.

Happy 1st birthday, MN Feminism Board!

Actually the best thing for me has been 'meeting' other women who I can discuss feminism with. It's been so long since I've really thought about the subject that I'm been inspired by everyone's enthusiasm.

I also really appreciate having a safe (ish) space to discuss the issues that affect mainly women. There is of course the occasional twat around but generally the discourse is really intelligent and interesting.

Hurrah for all of us. We should have a virtual party Wine Brew Shamrock :o

can't believe how many books I've read thanks to the Feminist Book Club. That's been an amazing education.
