Hello Lurkers!

Hi. Hello. Howya doing?

I have unwittingly become a lurker on this board as I often find the brilliant long-standing posters have not only got there before me but put my contribution to shame.

But! There’s a place for every woman in feminism and I wanted to start a thread for lurkers, or less confident posters, to share their thoughts. I want this to be a thread which has less of a focus on the most amazingly analytical comment, and more about posters (particularly lurkers) sharing thoughts and working out ideas in conjunction with all the incredible resources available on this board.

Here’s to all of us looking, thinking, but not posting. Your opinion is welcome too. I would love this to be a thread where we shared our thoughts Smile

Regular lurker here!
Newish account as I got locked out after the mass log out a few month ago and was unable to access my old account.
Although I Don't post much, I'm here several times a day.
Thank you to all the vocal Women who are fighting against this madness.

Hiya! Been here for years but rarely add much to the discussion.

But I do my bit - tweeting, liking, signing the petitions, chipping in to that which must never be shared, googling that which must not be googled, filling in the surveys and writing to my MP.

A whole bunch of amazing women! My favourite daydream is throwing them a party as a thank you. Maybe one day...

Ditto all above.

Excellent idea!

I need to 'think out loud', and my thinking sounds so infantile in fwr!

The main posters are able to put things in way I never could articulate, and are able to debate issues really well. I daren't even bring these issues up to other women IRL because I'm useless at communicating and instead hope that places like this bring it all to the sunlight.

There are some amazing posters on this board. Their knowledge, kindness, clarity and common sense help when some other posters try to drown the truth with half truths, twisting the facts or quoting dodgy statistics.

I post rarely as usually someone has said something I cannot improve upon.
