I've never seen a board I agree with so much, but I am from texas. I love this board!! Does anyone here frequent other huge rad feminist/ gender critical boards? How is it possible your board seems so devoid of male trolling?

"Do jog on, Shiz. Slurring GC feminists on FWR can't be your only hobby."

I don't know. The amount of trolling they do surely doesn't leave much time for anything elseGrin

Thanks for the mention of Ovarit, I wasn't aware of this forum.

Men who troll on MN tend to get short shrift because posters here don't tolerate it and report swiftly. MNHQ are usually quite good at banning them. Overnight there are a team of people who can temporarily hide things if MNHQ aren't around, so even hairy handed late night visitors can be shown the door.

We are not quite devoid of male trolling but the moderators take care to keep things “in the spirit” and delete posts or threads and ban posters when they are reported and breach the guidelines.

Unfortunately many feminist posts and posters suffer the same fate if they are deemed “not in the spirit”.

Oh there’s plenty of men trolling.

@Shizuku

Try the Republican party or the Christian evangelical movement. You will find they share the same views as most members of this forum on trans people and sex workers.
Do jog on, Shiz. Slurring GC feminists on FWR can't be your only hobby.

I think [Ovarit] was set up by women who got fed up with Reddit...

Well, fed up, certainly, but it's largely staffed by ex-moderators of the r/GenderCritical subreddit, which was banned.

Welcome Parakeetkeet
Can't wait to visit my dear friends in Texas again once this pandemic is over. Sadly my friends tell me that discussing these issues is hard in the USA - there's always someone popping up misrepresenting women as right wing bigots. At last on here a quick read of threads proves that not to be the case.

WarriorN · 26/04/2021 16:44

Nah, very different reasons. As anyone who understands the issues would know.

DaisiesandButtercups · 26/04/2021 16:43

Ovarit is based in the US I think. Although it is not quite like mumsnet. I think it was set up by women who got fed up with Reddit...

There's also spinster xyz and another one but I don't find the layout as easily accessible.

WarriorN · 26/04/2021 16:39

Lipstick alley? A few similar threads get linked here.

A forum in Australia stopped all debate.

You can stay here though, we have many women from all over the world!

I can't answer the first bit but regards to the second

Men I think tend to think it's just mummies nattering and leave us to it and those that don't tend to get short shrift when they do troll and find out that the mummies nattering shtick is just a screen for a vicious nest of vipers and a feminist radicalisation portal Grin
