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

[Onky]

It's polarised Mumsnet in many ways.

Chickens do so have a penis. Well, the boy ones do. It lives up their bum.

hec, so true

because there is no BF/bottle feeding debate is there ?

nope, no polarisation anywhere else, no sirree

If the feminism topic bugs you that much, hide it. Like I do with the buggy/pregnancy/weaning etc boards.

[pouts at accusation of sucking-up]

[then recovers and starts following Animation around like a puppy]

well, it doesn't stick out then...

some people like penii up their bum

I suspect we are going to learn a lot more about chickens than feminism from this thread!

I don't understand the hiding topics thing. Isn't there just a list of section titles? I just don't click on the ones that don't interest me. Does hiding them do something else? Like make your computer explode if you try to go near it? Or does a siren go off?

I was also going to add that polarisation is pretty dammed important to magnetism, static electricity, batteries and hydrogen bonding to name but a few things...and shouldn't be seen as a bad thng really,

Geek.

So true MC, so true!

thank you!

Don't read or comment on the feminist threads then. You'll save yourself alot of aggravation.

silly me!!! i must have got the idea from the Patriachal conspiracy of porn and subjigation of wimmin! After all how could I , being no more than an obedient receipient of the brainwashing misogyinstic messages of the male dominated media and cultural agenda, make up my own mind on such an Earth shattering matter!?

huh! Keeeeeeerrrazy! I know.

And there was me thinking I couldn't face looking at me grey pubes any longer!

Now where's that Naoimi Wolfe book, she's some minger her. So she knows all about the suffering of plain wimmin with grey pubes. I'll listen to 'er.

you are not too bad yourself..

Hecate - Disagreeing on one topic is one thing but polarised into two separate camps discussing different things is a great shame. I'm not sure it would be healthy if Breastfeeding and bottlefeeding were separate topics, frequented by entirely separate people. Lots of us might do both or be interested in both.

I have to go. I have stuff to do for tomorrow. I hope that's OK with migratingcoconuts.

Not everyone wants to discuss the same things though. I don't want to talk about buggies and other people might not want to talk about the law for example. We have lots of "camps".

sorry...but has anyone actually seen Op recently???

Well, another way to test op's argument:

What is the worst MN section then?
My votes are for (in no particular order)

• for sale/wanted baby changing bags
• weather section (why not combine it with etiquette?)
• ford

Actually meant to type "confused". Forgot about weird crinkly-faced smily.

Lots of people seem to be spectacularly missing the point.

I am the best feminist I know.

Are there any posters who only ever post in the feminist section then? Is that the thing? Sorry, I may be being thick but I don't get it.

I think there are posters who never come out of the TTC section. and the antenatal thingie boards, there are people who only ever post in there.

And there is a whole other mumsnet - the for sale section. There's a whole other group of people there who never go anywhere else!

kungfupannda - Yes but buggies don't pervade the whole of women's lives.

Niceday - if you can link to a bunfight in the changing bags for sale section I will vote for that one!
