AIBU to wonder why any woman would identify herself as [2]

... not a feminist?

Since I killed the old one.

'This is just more bashing of the Feminism section, resurrecting old threads hoping that someone will continue the criticism.'

I'm not bashing the Feminist section, and if you read some of StewieGriffinsmoms posts on that thread, I agreed with her opinions.
She's a feminist regular isn't she?

@ Dittany off you toddle then.....

Can I say a huge thank you to you Lenin - you may not agree with what some of us say and feel but you have been most gracious and understanding

And now it looks like you are going to get the flack for your attitude

Pore ol Switzerland...have some choccy

All mine were ignored too. I think nearly everyone's were!

Bahhhh! I think everyone needs a time out and maybe a nap? Can we please stop the bickering? Please? :(

There have been some wonderful conversations on here and the previous thread. With good points raised on both sides.

It's best to ignore the posters who have turned to personal insults (also on both sides) I suspect some are here for a fight rather than any real care about the discussions.

ps. there does have to be some level of "she said this" unfortunately. I know previously when concerns have been raised some of those have been dismissed out of hand due to not being able to quote directly.

Seems it's a no win situation. Quote directly = being bitchy. Don't quote = lying. :(

Femisom - accursed Apple Spellchecker :o

@Omigawd Have fun storming the castle.

Omigawd I don't think the message is quite that aggressive.

I still believe in inclusivity and love. War leads to nothing but pain and death.

If everyone wanted to, we could all hear each other and find space in our hearts for eachother and work towards a common good.

No, I want someone else to read the arguments presented about boys and girls of the same age, engaged in consensual sex being treated unequally by the law should the girl become pregnant.
I'm happy for the reasoning to be completely free of any named individual, and for DCMP to give me her opinion as a stand-alone.
I'm not attacking you dittany, neither do I dislike or fear you. I just don't agree with you a lot of the time. I live in a very academic and logically-based household, and we have discussions about things other than what we are having for tea all the time. It's one of the foundation stones of my long and reasonably happy marriage, and having children who can now join in and bring their own thoughts to a debate has been a bonus.
I go to conferences and have given papers on subjects, and been involved in discussions afterwards where people have taken very different stances and argued the points with passion and commitment. But we've not descended into personal attack, and we are capable of going to the pub without flouncing and sitting at different tables.

I suspect that when you storm the castle omigawd you will there isn't anyone home. I think it's a castle that you more or less made up all by yourself.

Those amongst us who are of the (moderate) feminist persuasion willl be watching you with concerned bemusement worrying that you might hurt yourself

Surely, by your post, Omigawd, that means you need to hold an element of acceptance for the other spectres of feminism? I don't feel I'm any less of a feminist for my views, or any more of a feminist than others.

WRT your "@dittany + co". I must point out a) that borders on the bully tactics you accuse these people of (and I hope to high heaven you don't mean myself as part of the "co") Just thought I'd point it out.

I don't want to do no storming. I still think waht I sadi in caps 700 pages ago. And th elove stuff. I want peace.

What about if we all sang together?
