To ask how to hide a topic

[LEMtheoriginal]

How can i hide a topic? I kniw how to hide threads but would like tohide a topic?

Thanks

well it's hardly difficult to find out how to hide a topic is it, - depends. If you're on the mobile site rather than the desktop (as the OP explained ) it's not that straightforward.

So I'd say this was posted specifically to inflame discussion. - the fire was started by flashbac having a go at those wanting to hide it.

How is that any less valid than your opinion?

I agreed that your opinion is valid! Everyone's opinions are valid. But it's not based on objective material reality. It's based on your personal belief position. So it's more like a religious faith.

peach I didn't ask that? And I think anyone's opinion is valid, but I also think I can back up my opinion, that transwomen are not women, with actual science.

It's bad for my mental health to see people throw science by the wayside. I'm not even being pedantic, it literally gives me anxiety that we think feelings are more important than reality because I don't know what kind of world we are living in any more.

verbeena I didn't get her reply to me. Just seemed like gibberish. Perhaps your powers of deduction are better than mine.

Get the negatively impacting mental health bit with MN sometimes, bully for some if they have never experienced that.

We do. There is a whole thread where women say how much the misogyny of transgenderism and what it's doing to women affects their mental health.

@Ereshkigal @Elephantinacravat To repeat myself: I am not willing to debate the subject with people who don't believe transwomen are women because we have fundamentally different viewpoints which means we will never agree and it's just a waste of both our time and energy.

I shouldn't have started engaging with you on that level - I was only trying to explain why people are hiding the FWR boards.

Go ahead and mock that all you like. It is the truth.

Disagreement with you and pointing out the difference between a subjective personal belief and a robustly evidenced fact is not mocking.

@Ereshkigal I never said it was. I posted in anticipation of the usual "oh can't back up your arguments eh" etc etc comments that follow whenever anyone says they're no longer willing to engage with GC feminist argument. I've experienced it before several times.

You have no justification for why you believe MTF trans people are women. Of course people are going to challenge that. The onus is on the one who makes the extraordinary claim. Your belief is quasi-religious

Feminists have no justification for believing that we live in a patriarchy. Yet they get ever so upset when others point that out. Your belief is quasi religious.

Everyone's opinions are valid. But it's not based on objective material reality. It's based on your personal belief position. So it's more like a religious faith

Same with the concept of living in a patriarchy in Great Britain in 2018

I happen to think it's really all a bit shit that we're basing public policy on subjective feelings which people can't actually back up rather than robust evidence.

Yes, it's an ideological statement. As is TWAW.

Thanks for asking the question OP.

Have now hidden a load of threads that don't interest me at all

(Feminism Trans included)

rude people can point to a billion examples that show we live in a patriarchy, what a ridiculous comparison.

Really am bowing out now.

I'm not even being pedantic, it literally gives me anxiety that we think feelings are more important than reality

And yet you're a feminist?

Topics

"If you dont like it, hide the board!"
"we have hidden the board"
"how dare you hide the board, we shall pile into your thread asking how to hide the board to explain how wrong you all are!"

As always the onus is on the one who makes the extraordinary claim to back it up. And none of you can do this apart from, "it's just what i feel", or you feel sorry for "people trapped in the wrong body".

StormTreader Exactly!!

"I'm on mobile and I figured out how to hide a topic in under a minute."

I found this thread by googling "how do I hide a board on mumsnet".

From the Oxford dictionary

1A system of society or government in which the father or eldest male is head of the family and descent is reckoned through the male line.

Nope. Doesn't fit.

1.1 A system of society or government in which men hold the power and women are excluded from it.

Nope. Doesn't fit

1.2count noun A society or community organized on patriarchal lines.
‘we live in a patriarchy’

Nope doesn't fit.

nah, I'd say it was started by someone who knew exactly what they were doing. - nah, the thread didn't change 'til flashbac and probably wouldn't have either if s/he hadn't accused those wanting to hide it of being stupid.

I'm on mobile and I figured out how to hide a topic in under a minute. - Smarty-pants. I'm only ever on my mobile and I can never remember how to do it.

What we can demonstrate is that there are less women in positions of power than men. That women are more likely to be victims of domestic or sexual violence.

"If you dont like it, hide the board!"
"we have hidden the board"
"how dare you hide the board, we shall pile into your thread asking how to hide the board to explain how wrong you all are!"

That is so not what has happened on this thread. I don't give a fuck who hides the board, anyone is free to do so and absolutely should if they don't like what they are reading there especially if it is having an impact on their mental health (indeed many people have said that they have come off twitter for the same reason).

What did happen that people made this thread about FWR and started throwing accusations around about how transphobic the FWR board is, and some people came on to explain why they don't think the FWR board is transphobic.

Again, don't make shit up.

Those are evidenced statements which suggest that there are societal problems with sexism and misogyny. TWAW is a subjective faith based belief. Not an evidenced statement.

Exactly this.
