I've been on this board for a while now and long enough to understand the issues and why women are so vocal about them and angry that our rights are threatened.
I'm frustrated reading on other threads, or on social media that this board is aggressive, shoots down discussion, and calls people names if their views don't match the majority. I can't say that I've seen that myself. All I see is intelligent discussion and persuasive arguments. Any goadiness is appropriately dealt with from what I've read as are any views that don't match reality. Maybe that's what upsets people: that their delusions are challenged with indisputable reality.
I'm still new to feminism and learning daily but I see women fighting for other women and prepared to get flak for that. I see some women who have been well and truly brainwashed by the trans movement and by men and the patriarchy in general. And that's the other criticism: that we are too focused on the trans issue. That makes me angry. The trans issue is the major one affecting women and girls at the moment and it's right that we are focused on it.
These complaints are coming from women who are calling themselves feminists and it baffles me completely that feminists can't understand the biggest threat to women and girls.
Now, I'm aware these so called feminists may well be trolls but I don't think they all are. How can some feminists be so opposed to other feminists passionately protecting their rights? Rights that are for ALL women.

Is that behaviour ok? And you wonder why I'm reluctant to start again

You should have reported that, thats bang out of order!!

Seriously...not being funny...thats dreadful

For someone who says there are too many trans threads they certainly like posting on them, don't you BrownPaperTeddy. I too am wondering what it is you want? For us all to be nice and inclusive? To basically capitulate but still mis-name ourselves feminists? I will never capitulate. I will never be nice and inclusive if that means throwing women and girls under the bus. I am a disrespectful woman who states biological facts. How bloody dare I!

lang had better not have the last word

I might manage it if it's before 9pm. I'm waiting for that Cry thing on the tellybox. But it was a bit shit last week so I might hang about until... oooh, 9.03?

Verbeena, I mean the government consultation about self id. Ends on 19th October.

That is the whole reason there are so many trans related issues posts!

No that wasn't the answer. I was asked if I were in charge what would I like to see. I listed a few ideas. That's it.

Sorry I don't 100% understand what you mean by your post? You were on a thread that was deleted, then someone started another and @ ed you over and over? No I don't find that behaviour OK.

But I don't see what that has to do with you creating threads on topics that you actually wish to talk about?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 07/10/2018 20:37

DAMMIT NO ONE POST TIL 10PM!!!!!

BigChocFrenzy · 07/10/2018 20:37

I do find @ing tiresome and I hardly ever use it - only if I'm on friendly terms with a poster and they've asked a question upthread

littlbrowndog · 07/10/2018 20:37

Aye robot exactly

She's said it is "unnecessary" to discuss their sex. I strongly disagree.

LangCleg · 07/10/2018 20:37

This is how Galileo Galilei must have felt when the Church deemed ‚his‘ heliocentrism an insult of God.

Yes but at least the medieval Catholics were quite clear about what they thought. This thread is like arguing with custard.

Effective whole day diversion.

Worth looking at issues raised in the Sunday Times:

Weetabix and bananas in custard?

Yes that is exactly what happened.
No idea if it's still running. I turned off notifications because it was awful. I think some people lose sight of the fact that it's other humans that they are talking to.

Don't give me ideas.

Funny how a whole thread can fill up and argue within one day if a couple who disagree start posting, isn't it?

LangCleg · 07/10/2018 20:40

Wait, what? FWR is mean because of @ing? But FWR tells everybody off for @ing.

Ok, I've been patient. But I'm not having this! I feel full on aggression coming on.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 07/10/2018 20:41

No thats deffo not on...do report though

Mumsnet should be right on the ball with that,..im sure they deleted someone the other day for doing similar

Ereshkigal · 07/10/2018 20:41

We'll get told off in a minute for posting "recipes". That isn't a recipe it's an abomination and against the Geneva Convention.

PerverseConverse · 07/10/2018 20:41

Weetabix with hot milk and sugar!
