Can MNHQ set up a new discussion category called Feminism: sex & gender discussion (inclusive, non-GC)

@PlanetLuna I’m pretty new here too so I’m still trying to learn about all this. In your OP you say you want this new area for “those who don’t see trans rights as a threat to womens and girls’ safety”. Please can you explain this?

I think some posters have spent too much time on Twitter with the “only people xxxxx has mentioned can reply” function and get upset when they post on a discussion board and any Tim dick and Harry can reply. And they have to see opinions they disagree with, or got asked to back up their arguments.

I don't think its necessary for 50 people to reply to one comment, no, not if they aren't adding anything useful or constructive to the conversation. It makes threads very tiresome to read and good points get lost in the drivel.

it shouldn’t be too hard for you to find one.

The classics are always the best :)
I expect you to google for my point isn't as strong an argument as you think it is.

Timid as mice you say. All us women who have been marching, speaking, writing, crowd funding and campaigning for years are timid as mice.
Why are you so keen to portray women as weak? What narrative does that suit?

I think the tone of this thread could be the reason the op would like a different place for people to post. Do you all hear yourselves? Would you allow your children to gang up on people the way you do? A lot of people stay away from the feminism part of mn exactly because of the behaviour on this thread, people demanding answers, scoffing, generally being hostile and horrible

Oh dear!

Correcting someone’s grammar or spelling is beyond embarrassing.

Maybe come off of MN for a few minutes each day and try getting a hobby love.

MNHQ isn’t going to set up the third forum you’re looking for OP - mainly because it doesn’t make any sense.

But predominantly, because ‘feminism chat’ is already right there for exactly your purpose.

Why can’t you just post in ‘feminism chat’ @PlanetLuna?

Right but drag queens and Jeffrey marsh aren’t trans. Drag queens are generally gay men who dress up as women for entertainment purposes. Jeffrey Marsh as I understand it is a (deeply creepy) non-binary person. So again I am asking where people have demonised trans individuals? Btw people are allowed to question things. Being non-binary or trans isn’t a get out of jail free card. Jeffrey Marsh’a conduct breaches every single safeguarding measure in the book, and he makes a living out of it. He should be questioned.

Disagreement does not equal 'pile on'.

I think some posters are struggling to understand what 'discussion' actually means.

Are they pile ons? Or are they just a number of posters stating their opinion?
OP is welcome to his/her/their opinion and as this is a discussion board, it is to be expected that people share their thoughts.
Most posters being of a similar opinion does not make it a pile-on.

My hard what?

Thanks for confirming that you can't provide any evidence at all for this thing which is apparently ubiquitous here.

And for ignoring the rest of my post.

But you posted some 'crying laughing' emojis. Well done you. Impressive stuff.

Or for you to find @Seasonofthewitch83 just a link will do …..

*you're.

Non GC Feminist is an oximoron

I wish this was true, however it seems to be a mix of genuine GC debate and the effects on women, and calling Drag Queens paedophiles on the regular. I was called a child molester because I questioned the accusations made against Jeffrey Marsh. This board is fucking hostile.

Name calling and dehumanising language like hyenas?

made me laugh. Not only is it spectacularly far off the mark in relation to me personally (you wouldn't like to argue with me IRL, I promise), but it hardly applies to the GC women that we see out and about, does it?

@Bamboux

Ooh your hard!

🤣🤣🤣

I’m sorry but that was such a cringey thing to say.

And I’m not sure how to link the thread in question as I don’t know what it was called because I didn’t start it but there have been at least 5 where a poster has been piled upon in similar circumstances when they hadn’t actually supported trans-rights and so it shouldn’t be too hard for you to find one.

Sorry OP, it's a No from me. I like this forum. I like that the posters are serious and focused on the thread's purpose but can also be silly. I like that every time you post, you're playing to a tough audience. You need facts and coherence to survive and you will get your arse handed back to you if you fuck up.

This is a discussion board. You can start a thread, as you have here, and the people who populate this board will tell you what we think. Go to the feminism chat board to discuss non GC things.

However, inclusive/non-GC feminism is extremely popular around the world (especially in places like the US, NZ, and AU) and in the UK among younger feminists and those who do not see trans rights as a threat to women & girls’ safety.

People like this, you mean?

Dunno about another board but this thread should be preserved in Classics.

I think that although it wasn't OPs term, 'hyenas' really has to be included on the Inclusive Bingo Card.

I think its fine to be able to discuss and debate, but the pile ons are extreme as is the name calling.
