You don't have to be feminist to post here, but it helps...

[MrsReasonable]

I've noticed that whenever a 'non-feminist' view is brought up, there are occasionally some posts along the lines of 'this is a feminist board, why come here if you aren't...', etc.

Genuine question - is this a feminist board, or a board about feminism? Obviously the majority of posters are feminist, but I'm not sure whether that is because feminists (surprise surprise) like discussing feminism, or because it is seen as a feminist 'safe haven'?

how long can y'all block a thread with babble about conkers
and feel all satisfied phew job done
no one disses fem board taht would be conkers

Have conkers driven dittany out?

Yes it's outrageous to ask people who make an allegation to back it up isn't it.

Let's all make random assertions without providing any evidence for the truth of those assertions

And then post random remarks saying the same disconnected thing over and over again.

It will be so interesting and engaging won't it?

Such a useful way to spend our time.

It's one way of making sure people don't come on the feminism board - bore them away.

You do realise that as soon as this thread gets to 1000, some crashing bore will start another one, don't you?

i hope the annals of emergency medicine are being searched
conkers and toxicity
proof please

its well acknowledged mn diversion to ask for proof
and challenge any recall one had without a timed post to prove it

maybe ask the aromatherapy quacks what they do with conkers

'Have conkers driven dittany out?'

Wow, that's funny

dont take the piss SM

sparky

Having said that about the brambles, we did find a few lanes with lots on Sunday and I made a delicious frozen yoghurt with them. Found an ice-cream maker in the loft that came from my great-aunt's and have been testing it out.

yes its been v intersting
great to have any topic open and allow exploration

is it stigmatising to say bonkers as conkers
is that a mental health slur on conkers

Not hard to find - google conkers and toxicity - it's well known (well should be if you have children)

The weird thing about spiders is that conkers give off a vapour which is toxic to spiders (because they are v small). There are loads of threads about it

are all conkers created equally or are there anti-conkers

I assume that's sarcasm, claig...

Seeing as you asked sooo politely scottishmummy a quick google of conkers and toxicity would have given you this

has your pal turned up is 50p burning hole in your breeks

i dont do the proof please google trawl
id rather keep on posting

Thanks MJ. I am sure I had a go at you once on the Romeo thread. I always felt bad afterwards. I apologise for that.

next thread we all rock up on shall we stick to horse chesnuts or any childhood games suffice?
