Is there anywhere that women can talk privately online?

[Destinysdaughter]

I've recently had my Twitter account locked for speaking biological truths and I'm also aware that MN is being 'watched' so I'm a bit wary of what I post now. Was wondering if pp can no longer access Twitter, where do you go? I've heard about Mewe but don't really don't know what it is? Im not being paranoid but am cautious! Any ideas? Also PM me if you can't write it here.

Thanks!

Your point Baker?

What's my point about which thing that I said?

Since you've expended the effort to post, it's not unreasonable to assume you had a point to make (aside from erroneous and easily refuted comments about someone's interview technique). I was wondering what it was...

About which thing I said? Or all of them?

Who will give me odds they are a previously banned poster?

I don't remember where I heard about mumsnet. There are gendercritical and trans subreddits on reddit and maybe I searched something. I got to mumsnet about one month ago and didn't realise the feminism topic had the most people until last week. I didn't know about bodybuilder's misc forum until 2 months ago. Yea I'm totally not new.........................

No. Nowhere online is private.

No. Nowhere online is private.

See that advance search button up there at the top of the page, ibaker? It says you are a liar.

What does the advanced search have to do with me?

There are secret groups on FB but they can still be infiltrated or members turn against others and share information publicly.

MeWe has groups but again, you don't know who anyone really is. You can choose a unique name and post what you want though.

Do not feed the derailer people

Right..........................

I wouldn't want to be in a secret facebook group for this because I don't trust facebook at all. I have an account but rarely use it.

Back in the day we just used to meet for real. It was word of mouth and normally invitation only. Of course it depends where you live and some people find it difficult to get to meetings but they had one very big advantage: infiltration was rare as most knobheads didn't have the courage or the social skills to leave their keyboard.

Well that was odd. Guess it's bedtime in California.

I'm not a fan of private groups. I think having open discussions like here allows fence sitters to read our concerns.

Yes to this. It was the discussions on here that helped peak me.

Idbaker is trying on another thread to get people to say it's dangerous, embarrassing and frightening to attend a feminist meeting. They aren't worth a bother.

Ignoring the troll and going back to the OPs question, a friend of mine offered to set up a private forum for Mumsnet people looking for that if anyone is interested. Haven't done anything with it so far but the offer is there (she's a techie so easy for her to set that kind of thing up).

I think mewe is good good for private chats. For example you can have a large group, and everyone can post or make plans, but only the group sees. But you still get notifications when someone in your group says something. So it's not an open conversation, but it's like ones little corner of twitter has been scooped up and put somewhere free to chat but invisible to everyone else.

Pratc
I would never go to ANY meeting, for ANY kind of group. A work meeting at a Japan tech company? NO. An afterwork dinner group for the company? NO. A meeting of my friends? NO. I am not targeting only a feminist group. A group > A feminist group. NO GROUPS.

I just keep reading mewe as mew and thinking it's going to be a forum to talk about cats. Which I guess you could if you were so inclined.

Ok 🙂

I said that I posted here assuming that someone IRL talks the same way in private that they do on the internet.
