Things I have learned in Feminist Chat

[nettie434]

Just listening to a programme on impartial journalism on Radio 4. Yes, I know some people will be giving a hollow laugh

To be fair, the panel includes Robert Peston and Julia Hartley Brewer. I’m enjoying it. At the beginning Helen Lewis referred to the Overton Window. I had never heard of it until I started reading posts on here.

It’s just one thing among many I’ve learned on Feminist Chat. I wondered if anyone else could pinpoint things they’ve only found out about here.

I know more about the EA and the GRA than I ever wanted to!

Also more about AGP. 🤢

Overton window. Ontological categories...

This is a great idea for a thread.

I have learned so much from being able to talk to other trans widows and I'm grateful to Mumsnet for facilitating that.

It has profoundly influenced me and my feminism and I think has had some influence in shifting the position of others.

Internalised misogyny.

I have learnt that it's far worse and more depressing than I ever could have.imagined.

I also learnt that the problem is not us.

That weetabix, hot milk and banana is the best.

I’ve learned a lot about emotional abuse in relationships. I’ve been lucky not to ever have had a relationship like that, so I had no idea. Very useful information to know.

Chesterton's Fence.

And WBH exists, as if there weren't enough horrors in the world.

Weetabix and banana is pukey...but i knew that before i got here

Chesterton!

Amongst all the profound truths we gave learned here, there's bound to be some bollocks.

I can't believe that WBH made it to the first page!

Seriously: how easy it is to disappear a group of women who need feminism and feminist spaces without even knowing you're doing it (my friend, you know what I mean).

I have learnt that being a professor does not stop you from being a total idiot

And also to read and learn and think about it before posting

And fuckmthat vile weetabix stuff

How could I have forgotten to include the Great Weetabix Debates as a given? Grey rock are another of mine too.

Lang 😘

(nb That's not for the Weetabix filth).

I've learned that however low someone goes, someone else will make a point of going lower.

Reverse ferret!

Russell's teapot

I have learnt that it will never, ever, ever, ever happen. Absolutely under no circumstances will it ever happen, and that anyone who suggests it might is a bigot.

Rules of Misogyny (in awe of the bewilderness!)

AND the power of disrespectful women who can and will do regardless, an evergrowing list of razor sharp warrior intellects...

Institutional Capture (Thanks Lang)

I see your reverse ferret and raise you Arkell v Pressdram.

Flying monkeys.

Narcissism.
