Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

In light of MNHQ's recent statement that the feminism section is in fact not a feminism section but a section 'about' feminism, perhaps we need to be warning people about this up front?

I'm of the opinion that it needs to made clear that whilst the title may be 'feminism/women's rights', this section is quite different to other boards that deal with feminism/women's rights.

It isn't fair to mislead - lots of posters expect the section to be a place where feminist views can be freely explored without fear of posters' mental health being questioned, and a zone where misogyny is unwelcome. In reality, pretty much anything goes here and whilst it is, of course, MNHQ's prerogative to run their site as they see fit, some sort of disclaimer about the section seems only fair in order to forewarn posters (especially posters looking for support or exploration of sensitive issues).

Perhaps it would be an idea for there to be a header at the top of the section stating MNHQ's position?

All suggestions welcomed .

Hully, he also did more than his fair share of derailing. Which is why I ended up turning a deaf ear to him, and why a lot of posters took objection to him, from what I remember

It was obvious that EP was Bob - we all knew.

I have neither reported my post linking to the BobsBanana thing nor communicated it by email to MNHQ.

I don't know that they are even aware of any of this unless they are reading the thread?

It's been reinstated - that was quick!

Hullygully · 27/09/2011 11:46

It matters, Lenin.

It matters when people are treated unfairly. Another drop of bad feeling in the world.

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 27/09/2011 11:45

What post was deleted?

MsCellophane · 27/09/2011 11:45

I pointed out he might have been banned unfairly by reporting my post - looks like anything reported is just deleted and not read

How does that help anyone?

DontCallMe

Bob got hounded off here for being a "troll"

He was bullied (no other word for it) to the point where you could see his psyche disintegrating

His name was used and abused on the misandry site

I'd say he was pretty much fucked over by everyone.

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 27/09/2011 11:44

Well, we had an EasternPhoebe on here the other day (very rape apologetic) so, I'm guessing Bob name changed, so we didn't notice he was still posting after he said he'd left... Or something like that.

swallowedAfly · 27/09/2011 11:44

dunno mscellophane but i'm guessing the post saying it's fine to issue death threats to a woman in real life if she says things you don't like on the internet is still standing.

Hullygully · 27/09/2011 11:43

Um, I am no wiser...

EP? EasternBob?

MsCellophane · 27/09/2011 11:42

Why was I deleted??

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 27/09/2011 11:42

If we do "Bring Bob Back"... Do we need to?... Could we have a word wiith him about his use of misogyny at misandry101?

And no, I wouldn't say he's been fucked over by everyone... But then I stopped paying attention.

Lenin - so Bob isn't a troll?

Hullygully · 27/09/2011 11:41

Why was MsCellophane's post deleted?!

Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?

At all?

MarginallyNarkyPuffin · 27/09/2011 11:40

Not really surprised. The poster who was grading rapes.

Hullygully · 27/09/2011 11:39

Yep. Banned.

And most unfairly.

Pore ol Bob has been fucked over by everyone.

I am going to start a Bring Back Bob campaign.

See below, I would say he was banned, wouldn't you?

Which one of you sad cunts decided you could use my name?

How fucking dare you! You complete pricks

It's bad enough that you took some of my posts from MN, but now I've been banned completely because one of you stupid and immature little fucking pricks thought you could use my name... you complete and utter bastards

Beachcomber. That bobbananas post wasn't made by me, I was EasternPheobe, until you read that and asked for me to be banned. You let the MRAs here ban someone because of your own automatic prejudice. You played their game. You fell for their using information they read on MN

Now fuckheads... it seems you need a troll of your very own... and as one of you cunts used my name, and got me banned from a site... here I am
