So now Mumsnet deletes posts on the grounds that they're offensive to people with religious beliefs and MRA's

Easy to stray off topic...

It can get a wee bit catty on FWR admittedly.

What a becoming display of feminine biddablness, fastidia.

"Agreed op, don't heed people taking puss out of your op"

Good lord, no, don't have kittens about a little thing like that.

Agreed op, don't heed people taking puss out of your op
Your simply bit het up,bit misguided
Not goading though

Oh dear, bless her, I think she was trying her hand at subtle sarcasm.

Ah that's unkind,op bit misguided that's all

There are some people on here who really do not get tired of goading.

On and on and on and on.

I don't know how you can be arsed, really.

Projection! O'er dusted down the frasier box set
Try slot in defensive. Or denial. They're mn perennials
I like bit of arm chair psychiatry

You think wrong tortose,where exactly on this thread have I said boring or pointless
You're simply making things up to suit your post,inventing phrases I haven't used
Frankly I'd be more erudite than saying boring or pointless

I was replying to you, scottish. That's why I referenced your post. Too hard to work that out?

I was wondering why you've got such a thing for arguments. Personally, if other people had a row a year ago, and no longer give a flying fuck, I would find someone else verbally wanking about it on every possible opportunity a bit, well, creepy.

What do you get out of it?

Is this all about the word "rapey"? Because I do think that's a horrible word. It is frivolous and beyond which it is really unpleasant to describe someone as being a rapist when they are just a bit of a twat.

Other than that, hurrah for the feminists and FWR and so on! Boo to the twats that constantly try to derail us! We will never let you win!

Well I'm glad Fastidia.

I think MN have been very biased in favour of the feminists really, when you think how vocal the feminists (well, a handful) were in their displeasure at MNHQ. Considering this is supposed to be a parenting forum, after all.

"It's a section for the 'discussion of feminism'...not for feminists. Ask MNHQ to clarify it."

Hang on a minute - 'discussion[s] of feminism' are pretty rare in FWR. The topics discussed are overwhelmingly topics that are pertinent to feminism. Therefore it would suggest it is a 'feminist forum' - since in order to judge that something is pertinent to feminism and women's rights then there has to be an admission of a feminist stance somewhere. Although HQ aren't going to boot off people who are not feminist (because of their all-embracing aims), this feminism is inherent to the definition of the topics posted.

If it were true it were chat about feminism, the threads would all be 'which feminist writers addressed objectification' or 'is such and such the definition of feminism' - though these kind of 'about' threads occur, they are by no means the bulk.

I think antifeminists just use this 'hoo ha' as a way of crowing 'we won' as a way to silence further discussion of this rather strange take.

Who you battling with lrd?
You're shadow boxing yourself,and huffy about mnhq moderation
You can dispute past mnhq moderation or decisions,if you dislike their decision.but it doesn't make it topic one must not recall,simply case you no likey

Good on HQ for apologizing, then.

SM likes to tell people that everything they want to discuss is boring and pointless, I think.

FWIW, going back to the OP, I too have only ever read "rapey" as a shorthand for "promoting rape culture", and it is used in some fairly hardcore feminist spaces.

mega x-post - must refresh page more!

MNHQ have now posted on that circumcision thread that the OP was a previously banned user - they also apologised for being 'slow on the uptake' so I do think Fastidia has a point.

MRA trolls seem to freely move around in FWR - being goady fuckers - and getting feminists deleted or even banned. There was a thread the other week where a longterm MNetter was banned after an FWR thread got out of control - she's now been re-instated. But, lo and behold - 2 proper goady fuckers trolls were later perm-banned and deleted - it seems to take MN an awfully long time to actually realise who the trolls are.

Pity, though. I think MN is generally pretty feminist and a good place for women. That's why it gets targeted by MRA trolls so much. They wouldn't bother if they didn't feel threatened by it.
