Feminist chat

Hi there ADarkandStormyKnight. Yes, it is true that there are an awful lot of threads on one topic in FWR at the moment. Obviously, it's a topic that is high on the agenda for many women at the moment, so it's to be expected to an extent, but we do see that it's a bit off-putting if you wanted to discuss something else.

Having said that, please don't feel put off starting a thread on another topic on the feminism boards. We know there's a lot of interest in particular issues at the moment but we're sure no one on the FWR boards wants that to be at the exclusion of all else, and other topics are as welcome as they ever were.

We have been asked a few times recently about introducing a separate area for threads about trans issues, but we've always come to the conclusion that it wasn't a good idea. The topics cover so many areas from so many viewpoints, we think it would be a bit pointless to lump them all in one place and could end up creating a bit of a ghetto, which wouldn't be in anyone's interests.

We do think that while sometimes there will be a spike in interest in a particular topic due to stories about it in the news, once a story moves on again, the boards tend to broaden out again in terms of subject matter. But as we said, please do feel free to start a discussion about something else if you want to. We're sure it would be welcomed.
