Just that, really.

Why have Mumsnet deleted the "Feminism: Sex and Gender discussions" from the easy "Talk" sidebar?

Yes I always followed that link too.

Just wondering if Mumsmet got forced to drop FWR from the quick list because of the usual external Eyes and reporters.

FWR has been there for years, as I have. But suddenly, recently, it's not there any more.

It's been a good week for women's rights.

The whole Mermaids scandal with their paedo-adjacent trustee who had to resign.

Let that sink in for a moment. A paedophilia agologist - a man in favour of adults having sex with children - actually getting appointed to be a trustee for very vulnerable and confused children and teenagers.

And Nottingham Council bang to rights - they were wrong - by Julie Bindel. Despite their mealy-mouthed apology, they were wrong.

I noticed a thread on Site Stuff a week or so ago which I think asks this

www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4643582-why-has-the-quick-link-to-feminist-issues-been-removed

... displaced in the popularity stakes by Xmas?

Yes, I'm wondering along those lines too.

Until recently, I could click on the "Talk" menu on the left side of the screen, and it included "Feminism and Women's Rights", along with "Baby Names" and "Telly Addicts"etc. and all the others.

But suddenly, "Feminism and Women's Rights isn't there any more.

sigh it's not always an attack you know.

MN wants to silence women? I doubt that very much.

This week of all weeks. It's bloody irritating.

CrossPurposes · 08/10/2022 00:30

And it's a bloody annoying thing to do.

Presumably to discourage women from organising for their rights and to discourage welcoming any newcomers. We have been making too much progress recently and it must have upset too many men and their handmaidens to see the avalanche of women whose eyes have opened to all this. Time to put us back in our box.
