Can start a thread in Sex and Gender, but not Feminist Chat. Why is that?

Just as title says.

Both boards are under FWR though

They are, but you can't click directly between them. It'd be nice if at the too of the page where it currently has >Talk>Sex and gender debate if it had > Talk > FWR >... That way you could just click on the FWR and then into the other topic. A direct link would be even nicer so you could just switch between the two with one click.

I’m considering making a concerted effort to comment on every single thread on the ‘other subject’ to bring discussion(s) back to sex-based rights and protections. Seeing as feminism is centred on the rights of women and girls, I don’t see how that can in any way be controversial.

Loooove the fact that Feminism and Women’a Rights are two separate subjects. What does that say…

I see there's already a head girl sorting it all out. I just read the sport thread. Thought 'I can't comment because not allowed in here'. Left.

I plan to ignore it. The elephant zone is welcome to carry on and enjoy itself ignoring all the elephants.

Womens forum by women, kindly sweeps itself under the rug on its way out the door.
Fantastic.
Another attempt to roll over and shut people up.
On a damn WOMENS forum. Says it all really.

I don’t think I want to pay £50 per year for a place that hives off discussion of single sex space from feminism. *@mnhq*

Same.

This topic should have been called ‘Feminism: Sex-based Rights and Protections.’ Simple, clear and accurate.

That's......absolutely perfect Nin.

It should be.

I’ve had a response to my concern re paying for a site that doesn’t recognise that women’s rights are part of feminism, asking me to bear with while they “take a look at the user feedback around the Feminism section.”
They’ve also given me the link to the account section whereby I can buffer off if I want to. It’s not quite Ed from the Royal Academy, but…

I wonder in which form /forum the feedback will be explored?

Ps whoever said ‘kettled’ for what’s going on really hit the nail on the head.

Buffer off! BUGGER off.

I'm still seeing this, logged in and out.

iPhone app.

Can't post a new topic and the heading is sex and gender.

Hurumph

@AfternoonToffee

I never had a response to my question about guidelines in the site thread. I'm guessing that the guidelines no longer apply.

Rules pinned on Sex and Gender, not on Feminism Cat.

Take from that what you wish.

Are/ aren't they?

Ooh! That is telling.

Mostly, as various Twitter posts clearly explain, it makes GC posts and posters easier to monitor!

The Ever Sainted Sakura has been crowing all day!

We can haz no guidelines?

They are looking for user feedback, are they?

There seems to be a degree of catch-22 about this. We'll let you post but only in sex/gender. Ha, you're posting in sex/gender so your feminist point must be anti trans!

This was one of the reasons people wanted it. When I say people I mean those who hate to the women of FWR, those people.

Calling this section 'sex and gender debate' is all wrong. It's like an invitation to TRAs to come 'debate' the issues with feminists. Which is not what we are here for

That's exactly what MN seem to think we are, from the behaviour of some of the Twitter staff and Justine's tone in the response on SiteStuff.

It's like we're in a mixture of a freak shoe and boxing ring and they are inviting those who disagree with feminism to glove up for a fight.

"Roll up, roll up. Weve got some feminists here, feisty gals. Come and tear a strip off them. All contenders welcome. The more you hate feminists the better. You can call them names but they aren't allowed to speak back. Roll up, roll up"

Freak SHOW not freak shoe FFS 😂

@SimonedeBeauvoirscat

So, all that time which so many women put into constructively engaging with an idea which had been floated seemingly off the top of MNHQ’s head halfway through a thread about a totally different issue and in response we get …. No response. And a fait accompli. (And no response to the thread the original query was about either, I note).

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

The level of disrespect to their own users is just breathtaking.

yeah, this

mmm, I wonder why many users are pretty arsey with MNHQ? that's quite the poser

It is hard not to feel that way. I hate that this board has gender and debate in the title.

I really don’t care about gender.

I really don’t want to ‘debate’ sex based rights and spaces and issues. I just want to discuss them with other women/feminists.

Absolute fucking joke.

User feedback? From who, because MNHQ have completely ignored all the threads from the ACTUAL users of FWR.

User feedback from those, who think this is an excellent change perhaps?

That would be rather like the biased surveys, which get an unwitting public to state they have no issue with trans women in women’s spaces.

Feels like it’s the beginning of the end for the space that was once there I feel like it will be picked at and picked at until there’s no space for the discussion at all

Perhaps user feedback from Twitter.
