Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Some of them may be prejudicial to a particular trial ... others are just ill-advised. People are talking about the sorts of stuff that should only be discussed in private I think. This particularly concerns JJ, the Labour Party and Corbyn, but also VA and the protest at the trial.

Could it be an influx of people who are new to mn and don't get the etiquette?

GuardianLions · 16/02/2018 10:58

Do you think they break guide lines?

Riverside2 · 16/02/2018 10:57

My impression of most of MN the last couple of days - WTAF?!!

GuardianLions · 16/02/2018 10:56

Maybe report the individual posts?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 16/02/2018 10:54

There seems to be a bit of an airing of dirty laundry and infighting going on on FWR - I'm not sure this is for the best given that we are monitored by TMW.

It's totally bizarre isn't it? I'm hiding from the rest of the board. It's scary out there at the moment!

Some excellent thinking and planning going on there from MNers though...

BeUpStanding · 15/02/2018 20:25

So, that JJ thread. Blimey! Someone needs to take a well earned break.

Hi writers

Hi WritersBlock2 welcome along. Hope you feel better soon.

Must look up Feminist Current...

Writersblock2 · 14/02/2018 18:33

Just tentatively popping my head around the door and hoping it’s not like the pub I went into in the depths of the west country, a day before my wedding last month. League of Gentlemen sprung to mind! I should add that I live down here so I’m not being anti-Cornwall. It really was frightening!

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I’ve been reading this forum for a few months now and I just wanted to say how amazing you all are. Pre-Mumsnet, the only rad fem space I knew was Feminist Current (which I love). It’s truly heartening to see so many articulate, smart women speaking out.

I’m sick and off work, so I’ll have a double of whatever will be the most paralletic. Thanks. ;)

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 14/02/2018 18:20

Very exciting

But we want to do it properly

So its going to take bloomin ages!!

Riverside2 · 14/02/2018 18:09

Rufus, I love it Grin

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 14/02/2018 18:09

Maybe not quite as full on Grin

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 14/02/2018 18:08

Only a home pub

Riverside2 · 14/02/2018 17:53

oh that's good Rufus

you're setting up pub in a shed?!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 14/02/2018 17:45

Dd had a surprise birthday party today (belated...surprise!!) and it went well

Im so relaxed now that im virtually in a coma

So much food left though

And the pub shed will be delivered mid march, much earlier than expected!!!

That liqueur sounds nice river

Riverside2 · 14/02/2018 17:31

don't get the teeth joke

it's my birthday soon and I got my first gift - elderflower liqueur! It's nice. I think I'm supposed to mix it with something....but I don't have anything in.

anyway, today at work has been ugggh. One of the things I hate most about office days is people telling me stuff about other people that I just don't need to know. Booo-ring. There's another thread going on about headphones....I'd never have survived 9-5 open plan office every damn day without headphones.

Is revamping about taking our falsies (teeth) out?

It's not so much trans that's doing it for me it is the 'toe the line or you are against us' attitude re this. The Jennifer James thread is doing my head in. There is one right way and that is that.

Yeah it is hard work out there at the moment. Maybe we should all revamp to feminist theory for a bit.
I hate to say it but it does make MN feminists look a bit obsessed with trans
