I've just been thinking - when I first joined MN, there was a bf/ff dingdong every couple of weeks. The OP would say something controversial, by accident or design, the thread would peak and trough through the old arguments and it would end after 1,000 or more posts (before thread-capping) with everyone licking wounds, no further on than before, but with a kind of muttered agreement that what's needed is good support and better-informed healthcare professionals.
But now, although the dingdong threads still exist, albeit less frequently, there's a more vocal "kind" side to them.
But what's really changed is there are more and more threads where people are asking how they can help, what they can do in their communities, who they can write to to make things better - I'm proud to be a part of MN and I really think that good things are being done all over the country, because when women get together, we rock.
That's it. As you were.
(Oh, you might want to read this as well though - very important)
