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.

I had an argument with ds1 when he was about 16

In the end i said his textbooks told him one side as they were written by the 'victors'...men

He ran upstairs to check, and i yelled 'just because you find one it doesn't negate my point'

Luckily all his history texts were written by men Grin

I've hidden them both. Losing the will to fight now. Feel like a bad feminist but its just draining.
Anyway I mostly hate Twitter but I just read this

Bluestocking lock in!

Another one heading for Wine and sisterly company.
And yes, how busy is this board?! I remember a couple of years ago lurking amidst the tumbleweed in awe of the feminist knowledge on here.

Some of the threads on here at the moment are truly awesome. Such insight, passion, intellect, integrity and critical feminist thinking. [flowers} for all

GuardianLions · 11/02/2018 20:16

Where did you get your cocktails from Terry ?

terryleather · 11/02/2018 20:13

Quentin I've just been reading the thread with rat and ray so I understand the desire for Wine

Some great contributions on that thread though, I'm so in awe of so many of the women who post here it's inspiring even when some of the arguments are infuriating...think I might go back and see what's happening but I'll need another 🍹
before I do!

terryleather · 11/02/2018 20:08

Ruddy heck that was a stupendous bold fail Blush

terryleather · 11/02/2018 20:07

The availability of coffee AND D&S probably* means you have another lodger Rufus,* hope that's ok... I can bring my own rum for the D&S!

thank you

HairyBallTheorem · 11/02/2018 19:35

Have a look at the thread on Mary the spitfire pilot - I can thoroughly recommend it as uplifting and soothing.

GuardianLions · 11/02/2018 19:31

Ahh I avoided the TIM breastfeeding thread because I knew it would be too upsetting. I let curiosity get the better of me - read a couple of posts and feel like crying Sad Angry

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 11/02/2018 19:29

Yep thats fine tallulah

I was thinking of putting a coffee machine in there until its time for alcohol

So coffee til 10am...im not a complete luddite

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 11/02/2018 19:24

Right. D&S round Rufus' shed and I don't think I'm coming out again either if it's all the same to you Rufus

terryleather · 11/02/2018 19:18

*Tallulah

You found a Dark & Stormy emoji!!!!

That has cheered me right up so the next round is on me.

🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 11/02/2018 19:14

Hi

White wine and soda here

Its a nightmare out there

On a lighter note dh and i are going to have a shed pub,...im now tempted to call it the Bluestocking and not bloody leave it

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 11/02/2018 19:11

terry 🍹

I tried to come up with some sort of response to your post but I can't even either

Riverside2 · 11/02/2018 19:02

@leghairdontcare

She said WHAT?

I'm amazed you didn't say "yes, some people are getting more annoying" and then follow it up with a slap to make your point!

terryleather · 11/02/2018 18:31

...staggers in.....

Please can I have a (very large) Dark & Stormy, with a Bushmills chaser.

I've finally gotten round to filling in the Scottish Consultation on the GRA and it has

a) taken all day due to how much I had to say

b) given me the absolute radge, I had no idea there would be any consideration of the fucking complete and utter bs that is non-binary.

Seriously in what universe could a government even begin to think about considering any kind of legislation regarding that nonsense???

I can't even...

leghairdontcare · 11/02/2018 18:19

Hello! Had to pop in to let you all know about this corker from my MIL today.

There seems to be a lot more abuse going on these days, maybe women are becoming more annoying.

ShockHmmConfused all the emojis! Had to change the subject and let her off because FIL died this week.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 11/02/2018 18:13

I like a busy pub

MRAs always come in flocks*. I wouldn't say it's particularly out of the norm for a visitation. A bit more transplopping maybe?

*whats the collective noun for mras anyway?

BeUpStanding · 11/02/2018 17:10

Definitely a few MRAs, but it seems they're sparking some cracking debate though

BeyondTerfyCassandra · 11/02/2018 17:07

The board does seem to have gone a tad loopy since the labour women's shortlists!!

And there seems to be a particularly high quantity of MRAs here this weekend too? Or is that just me?

BeUpStanding · 11/02/2018 16:54

It seems activity on the FWR board recently spiked due to #peaktrans? Is it like your favourite pub suddenly becoming trendy, or more like a party that suddenly kicks off after midnight?!

BeUpStanding · 11/02/2018 16:46

I can't even remember now which particular event was the straw that broke the camel's back. My concern has been steadily growing for maybe a year or so, but it was a few weeks ago when I fell head first down the rabbit hole and learnt about TRAs, ladydicks, the cotton ceiling, truscum etc etc etc
