Posters jumping before they're pushed

[spontaneousgiventime]

Well MNHQ we have the start of the exodus. Posters leaving due to these new guidelines that throw women under the bus.

A poster has deleted their account today due to the upset and stress of getting a strike for saying something that is 100% true. We know it's true because TRA's posted it on Twitter themselves, yet we post it and it's kick off time at HQ

It's a fucking disgrace HQ WOMEN are your target audience yet you don't give a fucking shiny shit about us. Not a fucking shit and it stinks.

More and more women will leave and you will be left with nothing more than people who present as opposite to their birth sex sitting posting about heels, make-up, clothes and fucking knitting.

Good luck with that one.

Hi, I started lurking a while ago, after having been silently Gc for years. I’m so sorry this organisational resource has been lost- as has already been pointed out, just in time for the consultation, what a coincidence. I’d really like to join the other place- and do more than read- could someone let me have details? I’d be really grateful. Appreciate I will need to be vetted somehow, which is sad in itself. An open forum is the best for opening minds- which is why it had to go.

Whoever thought of marmite cashews was a genius.

Hum. I don't have any, nor crisps. I do have marmite and Dr Karg crispbreads, maybe that would sort of work for a savoury crunch.

Must be the heat making us crave salt tonight.

You can take our pronouns! You can take our accurate biological language! You can send us round the twist with your doublespeak BUT YOU WILL NOT TAKE OUR MARMITE!!

UpstartCrow Tis the devil's earwax!

Marmite tastes like the rag that wiped Beelzebubs arse after curry night.

Tasty!

And thank you to serious posters like lastempress who are valiantly attempting to keep the thread on topic.

I have to admit, by early afternoon my temper had abated somewhat. So while I do appreciate those who are doing a valiant job trying to keep it on track, it's kind of lost it's purpose now.

MARMITE RULZ!

The Hastings meeting was full Terflike I was there. It would've taken more than a bomb to make me stay away.

What the hell is going on with MN. It used to be a safe haven for women. Now it's become like an abusive partner with all of the gaslighting and thinly veiled threats.

Only they're not so thinly veiled.

Ffs marmite is fecking awesome u heathens
Am reporting the marmite phobics.

To my mum.

I'd like to know where 'the other place' is in case I want to find you but unless it's somewhere that threads about hedge sex crop up at random I'm not really tempted.

I know the new rules are hard for some, and I don't think they've got the right balance but I honestly don't think MNHQ do want to shut down FWR as a place for women to discuss women's concerns,

'To my mum'

Littlbrowndog , you were completely wrong when you said you aren't good with words!

Bovril on hot buttered toast for the lady?

The veil's definitely become much more diaphanous spontaneousgiventime

Errol - I hate to burst your bubble but there is indeed a thread about sex in hedges.

Got it in one Abigail.

I'd be interested in the other forum too. Have recently started a new account (with new email address) but attended a WPUK event a couple of months ago so can give details from that if it helps to show I'm who I say I am. Thanks.

Oh well, in that case Sponty I'm tempted (but is it as good as the hedge thread here?)

Can someone help me figure out how to feckin DM on the app? I'm tearing my hair out! Really want to DM the OP to ask about the other place but getting bloody nowhere argh. Where do I click?

AFAIK you can't PM on the app, you have to use the browser version. Which is a PITA especially if you can't remember your password. You also need your password to log in to read PMs from other people I think.

I find Tarquin's name goady: has no one heard of the rape of Lucrezia? By Tarquin of Rome?

I think when they announce themselves like that as an MRA or as a rapist it behooves us to take them at their word.

Totally. After all, we have no reason to disbelieve them and it makes them very cross indeed when we doubt them.

This is it - on MN I can hang out on FWR, then occasionally pop over to a parking thread, or commiserate with a mum of another non-sleeping toddler (and re-assure them it does get better.. well.. for many of us). It was MN that first made me realise that my son might be dyspraxic and spurred me to get him assessed - and that really has changed his school life!

I would be interested in the Other Place if someone could PM - I can give some of my older posting names (I've been here about 7 years, although I can't remember when I came off the prenatal/baby stuff and first ventured into FWR... Xenia was here still though, and some other old names that I can't think of right now, so it's been a while).

If we're getting in to a crisps war, I recently came into possession of some cheeseburger flavoured Pringles - which genuinely taste like a macdonalds cheeseburger (make of that what you will)

So, to sum up, currently the trends in terms of what's coming to dominate the feminist forum on this site are as follows - angry blokes turning up to demand that feminist provide an explanation for why their dates aren't going as they'd prefer, Wakame posting gruesome details about genital surgery that nobody had asked for, and lots of long term users asking for links to a different forum so they can actually have a conversation without having the threat of being deleted for being too honest hanging over their heads.

New policy is working out great, eh? Honestly, that's a downright embarrassing state for a feminist forum on a parenting site aimed at women to be in. If HQ thinks this makes them look good they could not be more wrong.
