To all those who say on threads 'I am too scared to go into feminism' - this topic isn't scary!

[GetOrfMoiLand]

I think it's a shame when I see threads where the OP says 'I am too scared to put this in feminism' or something.

I am certainly not knowledgeable about feminist theory, but have never felt that my opinion on this thread wasn't wanted or I was vilified for stating what I believed.

I think this topic is pretty inclusive - yes some people are forthright with their opinions, but nobody's word is god, and I would hate to think that mumsnetters were put off contributing to threads in this topic because they mistakenly think the posters on here are viragos.

Thanks LRD - I think that's what is actually upsetting, reading the arguments, not discussions.

Point scoring. It's not what these threads have been about in the past.

I'm really sorry if I've played a part in upsetting you mouse.

Lenin - agree with that. Those who are here and don't cause trouble, with valid points or input, should be heard and given the chance to dicuss their thoughts and beliefs.

No, it's the whole thing really. I'm fine sweets.

Glad to hear.

blimey, is this a hugfest now ?

Ah....it's all ended happily ever after...

Fuck off you're all a bunch of cunts!

Damn, it hasn't even reached 800 posts yet

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

all it took was the ikkle face of a mouse

they are cute though aren't they, with their twitchy little noses and long whiskers

if dittany is watching, she gets a forced grapple hug too

@ mousie

Gutted, I understand Dittany has left. All movements/boards need extremes.....it makes us consider our own viewpoints more carefully.

As a feminist I have to concede I find religion a complete no no, especially Islam.

dittany will be back, have no fear

it takes more than a bit of bad feeling on t'internet to bring a good girl down
