Original poster

I thought I was a feminist until someone showed me this forum.

As in the title I was brought up to believe that feminism is about equality and choice but having recently been introduced to this forum it would appear that that is not the case. The forum gives the impression that feminism is not a choice but compliance to a set of rules.

When did feminism change to fight anyone who doesn't conform to what feminists want, instead of embracing the fact that women are equal with men and its our choice to do what we want?

Hi all,
Buffy's post was deleted because it was trollhunting. If posters have concerns about fellow MNers' good faith, we are interested in hearing about that via the reports system. For the record, however, didyouwritethe has been posting with us for near enough a decade now, on many different subjects using very many different names.

Hi Buffy,
Sorry to delete that last, perhaps you didn't realise that it was the sort of thing that is better reported than hashed out on a public thread? We will take a look.

Hi there,
Sorry to cause a problem for some folks, but we at MNHQ can still see what people wrote, so we aren't reliant on memory or impression of a particular post to enforce the guidelines and tbh we've looked again and we're perfectly happy with the deletions we have made here. We would also prefer that people didn't goad us, although that's probably not in the guidelines... so we'll leave Puffin's post up, because disagreeing with MNHQ is not against our rules.
