Hi there, we did indeed edit that title as it was construed as goady by some and we wanted to avoid having to pull the thread for breaking our TGs.

BarrackerBarma · 17/02/2017 16:43

It's impossible to stay within the forum rules if said rules are not clear. What was wrong with the title (that would also be wrong with every other similar title)

BarrackerBarma · 17/02/2017 16:44

Construed as goady to whom? How?

PencilsInSpace · 17/02/2017 16:51

It's a thread about a website. Why are we not allowed to say a website is ridiculous?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 17/02/2017 16:52

This seems like a really stretched definition of goady - who is it trying to goad?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 17/02/2017 16:58

So we are ok with cunt

But we have issues with ridiculous

CaoNiMa · 17/02/2017 17:01

Yes, I'd be interested to know whom MNHQ believes the title was "goady" towards.

As with any thread, there is space within it for counter arguments to be aired and challenged.

Gallavich · 17/02/2017 17:06

MNHQ seriously?
You also kind of missed the point of the report I imagine...

Everyday Feminism IS ridiculous. It's trite, misogynistic, homophobic and has NOTHING to do with feminism. It is run by undereducated overprivileged millenials, a quarter of whom are MEN like Riley J Dennis who thinks lesbians should have sex with him or they are like racists.

mirrorisnotmyfriend · 18/02/2017 09:42

Shins, totally agree about Everyday Feminism. It is the enemy of women.

MNHQ emailed me and ask if they could edit the title. I wasn't thrilled - but would rather they changed the title than zapped the whole thread. My guess is that they were anxious EF might spot it and take action - they're not known for their tolerance of opposing views.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 18/02/2017 09:44

The fucking irony!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/02/2017 09:48

What possible action could EF take?! I thought the limits to free speech were basically libel and incitement to violence and I don't see how it could be construed as either.
