Erin Pizzey's work with Refuges

[ParsleyTheLioness]

Talking about this on the Relationships board. Does anyone remember this woman from the 60's/70's who set up an early(?) refuge? Are her work and writings still valid today, or discredited at all, anyone have any knowledge? I may not be spelling correctly.

So shall we just ask Mumsnet for an extra section inside FWR, for that sector of opinion?

Yes! :D

We'll have to ask for a clarification thread, explaining why they've been sent there.

Perhaps MN could find a way that if you've taken to slut shaming, victim blaming or any other form of misogyny, that as soon as you type in FWR, you get redirected there, until you can prove you've changed your ways?

I wonder if HQ set up an extra section for the "Feminists are family-killing, hairy legged, mean bee-atches" whether it would get trolled by Feminists ?

for those posters who think that, I meant < checks watch and yawns >

< adjusts cat's bum face as dd is still out >

I'm sure it wouldn't, AF. We're much too mature and sensible for that.

Eek, give her a call. I remember my DB being three hours late home once. Strolled in just as Mum was about to phone the police. I have all this to come...

she walked in 10 minutes ago. I had spoken to her on the phone, btw

she's been to see Titanic 3D, and couldn't get in the first showing so had to wait for the 8:20...and the film is very long, the cinema is 4 miles away

TE, it is terrifying, believe me

keep 'em tiny, at least you know where they are

oops sorry, I forgot my family destroyer persona for a moment then

yeah, kill the bastards !

or summat

Ahhhh, ohhh, that's just reminded me of something... I'll send it to you tomorrow. :)

And pffft, I've already told him he's not allowed to ever be older than 4. He's adamant he's 1 atm... I can live with this.

ooo

s'excitin'

leave the bastards, all of 'em

yeah

< rubs eyes >

Sensible discussion?

Where do you think we are, SGB?

sorry, sgb, wotchoo wanna have sensible talk about ?

smash the menz up

rahhh

summat like that ?

I think I am a little overtired

good night

Can we keep a couple of the men? Just a couple?

OK, one...

Only because he's lovely...

Sorry, I'm not too good at the crazy, man hating lesbian act. :(

Goodnight, AF, take care and sleep well. :)

I loved a woman once.

I am going to stab my husband, after I have stolen his sperm

he looked at me a bit funny

the bastard

Well, about feminism 'destroying the family' - that might not actually be such a bad thing? Maybe? Given that it's an accusation popular with the MRAs and the religious right and all the other fucking knobends - generally what they hate is a sign we are Doing Something Right. When they say 'family' what they mean is male ownership of women as domestic servants and breeding stock, and that is what feminists are perceived as trying to destroy, and, well, what's not to want to destroy about that worldview?

that's nice, LineRunner

good night x

Good night AF. x

oh, sgb, what you are saying is right

I have a "family" but not a male owner. We are a M/F partnership and our offspring live with us in the same house, but there are plenty of alternative ways to do it that make just as much sense

The Patriarchy doesn't like that idea though, does it ?

I really am going now

SgB, agree entirely with what you're saying. :)

not capable of any intelligent input atm, though...
