Roll out the barrel
Present, no strikes that I know about
I saw a few people get deleted yesterday

I don't think we've lost anyone yet?

Not really, it's blatant. Get the mouthy women off FWR then MN can return to parking, nappies and Zoflora.

Still here, no strikes so far. I think they're really focusing on Bewilderness. What can we do to support her?

I don't know. We need to all huddle around like in nightclubs to protect her.

I'm so pleased to see you, kitten. There's a plea to reinstate uterati and I don't think we have lost anyone.

I'm not sure I can do this any more.

I keep getting this almost irristible urge to smash the screen in front of me. Or poke my eyes out, I'm not sure which.

wtf has happened to people? Has half the population forgotten how to speak English?

As far as I can see, MN only delete (and warn and ban) posters who are reported. It seems there is a hitlist of posters who are reported whatever they post. It also seems there are some hq-ers who operate on the principle of "if in doubt, delete".

Posting on here these days is like trying to get through crocodile infested quicksand with heavy weights attached to your boots.

It's pretty much impossible. And exhausting. And really fucking boring at this stage.

Don't worry, I was just ignoring the GFs for a while and enjoying the sunshine! So Uterati is the only one we've lost so far?

Definitely laugh or cry time. Maybe laugh or smash shit up time.

Yes think so. But people have lost lives. Southfields, do you know what yours was for?

That's true Mary. On MN the use of the English language is like wading through treacle. I am copying any posts I think might be against rules so if I get a strike I know what for.

Posting on a bloody message board shouldn't be like this. It's a joke and possible breach of free speech. Who knows?

AAK, glad to see you're ok.

Again, think of the lurkers. Women being censored while GFs run rampant on a forum for feminists on a website aimed at women? It does rather hammer the "hmm, what's really going on here and how is it different from the official narrative?" message home.

According to her friend The Uterati does not wish to be reinstated. Says she has "moved on".

Yes running rampant, goading, gaslighting, the usual crapola

This is what pisses me off no end. This board is full of GF going merrily on their way while the women this board is supposed to represent are censored.

By the way, did we ever get an answer about whether it's ok for people to come on here and tell repeated obvious lies and give dodgy medical advice?

Is that now allowed?

I might wander off to General Health and cause a bit of havoc.

Also just look at all the lurkers stepping out of hiding! We're well past critical mass, I think.

The lurkers have really turned the mood around. We can do this.

I feel like I,m posting on tippytoes to the extent that any post I compose becomes so contrived that it’s meaning is useless.. So I delete it and then get doubly frustrated that I’m not pulling my weight.

Me too Antique - I’ve deleted about 6 or 7 long posts tonight as I just wasn’t sure and by the time I’d edited and rewritten the thread had moved on and others had said it anyway! It’s getting very frustrating but tbh if I get banned I don’t give a fuck anymore. I would get to bed on time and get more work done so it would be a blessing! Maybe I should save all 3 strikes for a big Fuck You one of these days?!

I'm suppressing the urge to point out all the flaws in the argument of the GF in the Spartacus thread because there's a scenario designed to get as many people as possible banned if ever there was one.

Yet another example though of one loud voice now drowning out all the previous women standing in solidarity with each other.

I know it’s my own fault for getting drawn into it but then that one poster just takes over and the thread becomes all about them. And they bloody love it don’t they. I guess we need some more “I am Spartacuses” to get it back on track.

In the Spartacus thread they are using the @ as a harassment tool. They are likely to be gone by morning. On site stuff the midnight misogynist is back. No question they are trying to destroy the place and the women are just collateral damage.

Link to midnight misogynist thread/s?

I think we need a strategy for dealing with blatant GFs, maybe better to thrash it out in the more private space though (which I've yet to do anything with because lazy and sunny weekend).

Would responding with "narcissistic personality disorder is a thing" and nothing else get the banhammer under the new rules?

Another lurker checking in.
I am so grateful to all those eloquent and clever women who have gone before me. I have been reading FWR and thinking about the issues for around the past 2 years now... and have been taking these and discussing them in RL. Referencing MN and encouraging others to come here and read up for themselves.
So keep at it you all, you are not shouting in to the void. There are many more like me out there and we are istening Flowers
