I'm actually finding it really interesting reading it back now that I actually understand what it was all about. Also interesting to see how much Justine defends Paris Lees.

WarriorN · 18/06/2021 14:24

Gosh, good thread.

@R0wantrees

Paris Lees?
Yes! Thanks for the clue - I've found the thread now

2016! At the time I really didn't understand why everyone was so angry, but I was made aware that there was a potential issue.

I came here via the classic Break It Down For Me, which took a while to get my head around.

Recent threads I really enjoyed were Was Laura Ingalls Wilder A Feminist and one about wildlife writing. Both made me really think and contained good book recommendations.

Any thread where certain posters tried to explain gender identity, non binary and how males can be lesbians were fascinating, for the language and the psychology.

Paris Lees?

Probably not a useful thread but one that I remember because it made me aware there was a peak to be climbed. I can't remember if the thread was here or in site stuff. MNHQ had put on some sort of RL event where you could go along and see influential female bloggers talk about blogging (I think). One of their guests was a transwoman, and some people were really up in arms about this. I thought they were being a bit odd TBH, but the seed was sown.

@NecessaryScene

If you know the URL, because you found it in some other archive, just paste it into archive.org's Wayback Machine.

Just asking for www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/* (with the asterisk) will show you everything it's ever recorded for FWR, and you can browse. And you can use the "filter" field to look for stuff in the URI/title.

Not figured out how to search by keyword within pages in that area.

Once you've found a topic, if it's been fully archived, should be able to use the next/previous buttons as usual.

There are other archiving sites - if you're looking for something it might be on archive.is.

It would be useful to have an index, as stumbledin suggests above. Hm.

Spartacus for me. It was like a thousand women throwing off the shackles of #bekind and just roaring Noooo. Very moving.

It was amazing, especially the first one.

But MN can delete anything.

WarriorN · 18/06/2021 08:27

I'll have to go back through ones linked here to see.

If I log onto my own account on a computer can I see all the threads I've ever contributed to?

WarriorN · 18/06/2021 08:25

A thread like the one I'm thinking of is very enlightening to read now.

Hence why R0 is targeted. Grateful for her filing system!

Also, the one about Stella's documentary was good.

endofthelinefinally · 18/06/2021 08:23

@WarriorN

That's a good one R0 but it's older than that. I feel like it might be around 2018.

I had concerns threads would be lost with re org of this. I suspect ulterior motives tbh.

I agree with this. There is a culture of erasing/ rewriting history atm that I find deeply worrying.
WarriorN · 18/06/2021 08:14

It may have actually been about one of the first big times reports to do with the Tavi or beginnings of people raising concerns from within. And as mentioned mermaids' involvement a lot, there was a lot of discussion and looking into the evolvement of those residentials.
