.....not a feminist?

One of the issues I do have is the idea of "thought-crime". People stopped being judged by what they actually do. Instead they are automatically proscribed some "ulterior motive" that twists their actions to support the notion of "patriarchy". I saw it all over the "Can men be feminists thread." Forget that. I'll not take part in this any longer since MN has seen fit to move it to a section that is so slanted with misinformation that most people who aren't feminists wouldn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. Thanks a lot for shutting us down MN. Maybe I'll send my husband over to Dadsnet and get a more reasonable response to my concerns. Good-bye.

'Haha, hilarious it's been moved! Where was it before? Either the nays have been lulled here against their wishes or the yeas are being forced to take a good look at themselves, arf!'

So there we were in our little rockpool, chatting away and being honest about how we felt and SUDDENLY someone scooped us all up and dropped us into the murky depths of The Feminist Boards.
Why?
Help.
Looks around for the nearest shark cage.
Bum.

I thought it was a discussion that was worth having out on the main boards.
What happens to the posters who have hidden this board? Do they all assume we have been transported to another dimension?

I was wondering. Bet those with this board hidden think it's been deleted due to some huge bunfight..

I don't want you to think I'm attacking you dittany, because I'm really not.
But I thought it was hysterical that you were the first Big Fish that swam out of the darkness and addressed the quivering heap on the floor.
I imagined a voice and everything.
Do you think if enough people got behind this thread and pushed really hard, we could shove it back into AIBU?
It doesn't belong here.

sparky246 · 03/07/2011 21:42

yep-lets all report it and ask for it to be put back in aibu

Hullygully · 03/07/2011 21:42

Hi all, we moved this thread over after a few reports requesting it. Are you happy for it to remain in chat or do you want it back in aibu?

garlicnutter · 03/07/2011 21:56

It's not in chat Confused It says mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights up there.

I don't mind, I'm outside smoking a fag and slagging off tunnel-visioned feminists Wink

"I quite like the idea of a peripatetic thread, moving from topic to topic, picking up posters on the way."

That would be brilliant!

CatherineMumsnet · 03/07/2011 21:58

Ok, I blame the fact it's sunday night and I've been on duty all weekend Blush
I meant moved to the feminism board from aibu :)

Goblinchild · 03/07/2011 22:04
