to think the feminism section is the worst thing on Mumsnet?

[Onky]

It's polarised Mumsnet in many ways.

I don't mind it.

give an example please :)

1/10

I like it.

It does scare me slightly, but maybe that's because I really no nothing about true feminism

A N other Easter Troll? Surely not.

My bingo card is getting full.

The debate is of a higher calibre than some other sections.

How? Surely having an open forum for discussion is a good thing? Mind you, many years ago I saw an excellent forum implode under the weight of its own feminist discussion, but they were extremely hard-line and brooked no dissent at all. That forum died back in 1993 and I still think of some of the things they taught me, so I am very glad to have the space here, even though I read rather than post.

Its good that they have their own little place to vent. :)

2003, it wasn't that long ago!

op I think you need to get out more..

You are right

I shall cancel my membership forthwith

What a load of old bollocks, eh, I think men should get higher salaries for the same job, women should get their vote ripped up and just accept that the male sex are a higher plane of being right now

Now what shall we discuss ?

How wonderful and edgy onky is ?

Have stumbled across a thread on there once and accidentally. Will not venture there voluntarily. YANBU

FWIW (opinion of unknown poster hiding behind new name ) I like the feminist section. The discussions are interesting, and some of the books they suggest are interesting, too.

Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrol.

MN threads discuss loads of controversial issues. It doesn't mean that the conversations aren't worth having.
It's not always about sprinkling glitter and singing "Kumbaya".

ooh is this going to be another of those fabbo threads where someone starts it to try and slag off the feminist section and loads of people pile on and say actually they quite like it?

I like those.

Oh....I see you are NOT a troll OP...but only someone who makes sweeping statements and then doesn't come back to expand.

I haven't ventured into the feminist section but feminists make me laugh, they're so belligerent and pointless and cute and fluffy feminism is self defeatist and pointless and makes me chuckle.
