You don't have to be feminist to post here, but it helps...

I've noticed that whenever a 'non-feminist' view is brought up, there are occasionally some posts along the lines of 'this is a feminist board, why come here if you aren't...', etc.

Genuine question - is this a feminist board, or a board about feminism? Obviously the majority of posters are feminist, but I'm not sure whether that is because feminists (surprise surprise) like discussing feminism, or because it is seen as a feminist 'safe haven'?

It just seems that if a poster were to criticise feminism (let's assume legitimately), then they would be accused of MRA/trolling, rather than accepted in a discussion about feminist issues, rather than feminist discussion of issues.

I didn't mean that's what you think, but that's why 'non-feminist' views are challenged. It's not a fight club, it's a forum for discussing feminism.

It's both I think. Although if your stance on feminism is that it's a load of rubbish, then why post here?
