The question of Mumsnet’s feminism has been raised by previous researchers, and most have agreed that any feminism to be found on the site is of a neoliberal and individualist type, focused on the needs and wants of middle-class women and their aspirational families. While this is still true, the past five years have demonstrated that Mumsnetters – like all women – should not be viewed as a homogenous whole. Just as there is really no such thing as the “women’s vote”, whatever the politicians who campaign on Mumsnet like to think, there is no such thing as one type of Mumsnet feminism. There is a wide range of feminisms on Mumsnet, from the woman who notes whether a new film release would pass the Bechdel test to women campaigning for better miscarriage care and on to women who will swim topless in Dulwich swimming pool to make a point about the value of women-only safe spaces. All of them find a home on Mumsnet.
