Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

My page is being spammed by MRAs...

(Have a FB page I set up a few years ago).

All it's doing is reminding me why I set it up & why I bother (which is not quite what they're probably aiming for but never mind).

It's still pretty annoying though that every few months one will come along then encourage other twats MRAs to join the party Hmm

Do they seriously have nothing better to do. I wouldn't mind if any of them could hold an interesting conversation/debate but it's always just the same 'we know you hate men, stop pretending otherwise' boring drivel.

SIGH

Oh, they've been back overnight. Fuck it. I'm taking a holiday from feminism this week Wine

Hopefully they'll have gotten bored by the lack of response by the weekend and have pissed off to troll some other page

Some people really do let the team down Biscuit

Sorry to hear that Orchard.

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 10:26

Thank you.

I know it's standard when you dare to have any sort of internet space dedicated to feminism etc but it doesn't mean it doesn't get a bit depressing from time to time Grin

I get fed up with them here - and they'e pretty obvious/quickly banned by HQ.

On FB they are a joke - having to read their trolling crap really does depress me -even puts me off looking at feminist stuff on there. Sad

They only seem to pop up every now & again but when they do there's always a fair few of them.

You can block individual posters though. (But it's best to let them bore themselves into silence I've found because if you ban them they just try and rally around others to twat about the page).

you can "hide" their posts, they'll still be there - just unable to annoy you & they won't know they've done it.

Alternatively, can you change the settings so that only members of the group can post? You'd then have to approve people before they could post (could be more hassle than it's worth though)...

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 11:07

It's a page so slightly different settings but thanks.

I've blocked the lot that were posting and removed a few posts as I'm fed up enough with it to run the risk of attracting more!

what's your page called, Orchard?

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 11:14

YIAFNIDHM Smile

Have deleted the pointless insulting posts but left a lot up.

I like running it as it reminds me that even if I feel like the only one who's bothered sometimes I'm really not. Plus it has actually had a few converts on it who were put off by the 'feminism myths' (especially the man-hating myth) Hmm

RippingYarns · 17/09/2013 11:16

ohhh Grin

i've already 'liked' your page

thank you for keeping it going, i share lots of things you post on my own page too Thanks

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 11:17

Oh thank you RY Grin

OP posts:
YoniMatopoeia · 17/09/2013 14:42

I have liked too.

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 15:25

Thank you Smile

Wasn't trying to fish for likes. Just thoroughly fed up of the same old crap from the same group of people.

OP posts:
ElizabetaLuknichnaTomanovskaya · 17/09/2013 20:56

Just liked your page. The MRA are so tiresome and mostly illiterate too.

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 20:59

They all follow the same pattern too, every time. I mean if you're going to spam the page could you at least be original/entertaining? Grin

OP posts:
ElizabetaLuknichnaTomanovskaya · 17/09/2013 21:01

But most of them completely lack any original thinking. This nonsense about "woman know your place bla bla bla" is hardly new is it Grin

TheOrchardKeeper · 17/09/2013 21:06

Well no Smile

But they still insist that they're not sexist/against equality etc Hmm

Really? Well you just told me I'm a man hater/ball breaker who will mentally damage my son, so you're not really that convincing Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/09/2013 01:29

I was your Liker before it was fashionable. Just saying.

TheOrchardKeeper · 18/09/2013 07:36

Thank you Smile

I know it's not one of the bigger pages but it's changed the way I do things in everyday life & made me much more involved so I appreciate all the support it's had since I set it up!

I have liked you.

TheOrchardKeeper · 19/09/2013 18:04

Have been neglecting the page a bit lately, partly due to the MRA invasion of late but feel inspired now Grin Thanks. sometimes I feel like I'm just talking to myself on it

OP posts:
ArtemisKelda · 20/09/2013 21:53

I didn't realise that this was your page, I've liked this page for a while now.

CaptChaos · 20/09/2013 22:11

I've liked it. You have an Eddie Izzard quote on it, how could I fail to like it! Grin

OpheliaMonarch · 20/09/2013 23:35

Have liked, will read with interest, what a great page.

Sorry about the Male Rape Apologists, genetic cul-de-sacs the lot of 'em.

Have you seen this, thought it might cheer you up :)
