MN is no longer for feminists

[DrDetriment]

I'm done here. I used to love MN and felt the feminist boards were a safe space for reasonable discussion. I've now had two comments deleted for breaking talk guidelines and can't in any way see why. I was not unkind, I was respectful, I didn't use inflammatory language. But no, the MN thought police took issue with something. I will never know what.

So sod this for a game of soldiers. I am so done with this site.

I'm offended for you OP.

Not being allowed to use medical terminology shows how warped the debate has become.

This. MN is still going over the top to capitulate to TRAs.

Oh so I was deleted too for using the correct word in the correct context. Mindblowing!

Anything that suggests the sacred journey involves grown up words for medical processes cannot be used. It's hurtful and degrading and not allowed.
Getting healthy tissue removed is obviously not hurtful or degrading.
Go figure

I feel like I'm now in some strange world where feelings override logic and reasoned based debate, using appropriate, medical based terminology, has no place. Kafka and Orwell knew what they were talking about. In many ways it would be better for me to simply stay off MN.

Yes I've noticed MN are coming for this thread now too. Rather proves my point.

Feminism is not about equality. That's socialism.
Feminism is about advancing and, where necessary, protecting biological women. If you can't get with that, you are something other than a feminist.

Don't stay off MN.

It's one of the only places people like me can come and feel sane for not signing up to certain political agendas.

If we all go, then it's another sanitised corner of the internet.

I swear half the posts are either adverts or political influencers.

Ooh, can you give a bit of a hint of what sort of comment you had deleted?

I can't take the feminists here seriously. There are women raising daughters teaching them to fear a man who sits next to them on a bus because he speaks to them or because his legs are apart. It's pathetic.

And as for the hysteria about women's spaces and all that nonsense. We really do seem to think women are all special little princesses. I'll shut up now.
Maybe I need to post my own flounce. Good for you, OP.

I think you have comprehension skills if you think the feminist boards are teaching children to be scared of men on the bus

I think most men are not happy with all spaces being mixed sex either so perhaps you should talk about all people being princes and princesses rather than just have a go at women who like some things to be single sex

I don't think men are that fussed about single sex spaces. There are men and women in the world and it seems daft to wish the world was different

Perhaps you should talk to more men?

You too

Translation: I thought I could safely get away with really transphobic asshattery but I couldn't so waaaah.

Bearing in mind the amount of obvious trans hating that gets a pass here, lord knows what sort of thing you came out with.

Don't let the door hit you etc.

Ah transphobic. That old chestnut. A word so divorced from reality that 'breathing through the wrong nostril' or 'eating jam on a Friday' can attract the ire of blue-haired mobs screeching on TikTok about transphobia.

I hope you stayed in the end OP

Ah, denial. Not just a river in Egypt.

"Screeching" is misogynistic language, you know.

Thanks for the mansplain 🙄

I'm a a cis woman.

Not when women are using it to describe men.
