...I love you crazy lot!

In RL I rarely get the chance to discuss feminist issues because the people I know are reluctant to identify with feminism (probably for reasons pointed out in BR's chat thread)
So it's an absolute life saver to be able to come here and know I'm not alone.

I don't find FWR unwelcoming, lively yes!, but not hostile to those who genuinely want to engage. Plus there are so many clever posters who are kind enough to share their time and knowledge (come back Buffy!) and I've learnt so much..

So thanksFlowers that's all.

And it feels pretty hostile to read a post like that on a nice thread, binary. There's various other threads at present discussing how crap we all are - would you mind sticking to one of those? It would be appreciated.

It can be hostile here.

I'm not a regular on this board but I do enjoy reading the posts. I don't agree that it is a 'hostile' place. I've always found everyone to be really friendly.

Apart from those who come here to troll, of course.

Still miss Buffy's posts. Yonic do you promise you won't leave? Smile

Me too! I've become so much more aware and finally have some words to express some of the thoughts I couldn't articulate previously, all thanks to the very knowledgeable and generous posters here. Thank you all.

I do try to be lighthearted, I really do but I'm a bit of a political soul. There's a little devil in me that just thinks if you can't take me seriously when I talk about something that I care deeply about then I'm going to annoy you to death instead. Grin

I'm a bad girl Wink

I know how you feel soapbox- in RL one must never be too earnest about feminism! One must always keep it lighthearted for fear of seeming serious!

Which is why here is so relaxing.

I agree. I don't get to discuss much and when I do I get told I'm a bore Hmm

I learn a lot from mn in general but FWR has been great. I don't always agree with everything. Been some sticky situations in the past (threads wise) but on the whole it's been very educational.

Thank you everyone
