"I feel politically homeless from both party politics and from Mumsnet. It's a depressing place to be. I wish KJK was the fearless warrior for women 's rights she claims to be, but she isn't, and you lot just don't want to know. it's a mess."
I obviously have some significant cultural differences with quite a few posters on MN.
I have never wanted a 'political home' and I have quite a few friends who are the same. We do our research on the party or individual with the manifesto that we prefer and vote accordingly. I always assumed it was normal until I moved to the UK. No matter. But I can't be arsed too much with this 'I am politically homeless' bullshit. (Sorry everyone)
And who the cares whether you politically 'align' with the rest of fucking Mumsnet. Good grief. It is a website on the internet full of randoms stating their opinion ( and on this board at least, expecting that opinion to be supported with some credible evidence if it is so strongly stated as you have done.)
If it is depressing then don't keep doing it. Seriously. Why would you continue with something that depresses you or causes you anxiety? Go forth and do your own thing and enjoy your life.
KJK has made no promises that anyone should take seriously. She might say she never loses, but I consider that to be a bolstering call to action rather than gospel.
Us 'lot'? This perpetuates an 'us' and 'them' mentality that seems to be in your mind because you want to be part of a political group, a political movement maybe? and have a website fill a emotional need in you. But it dehumanises people. I am not sure that you understand that.
We are not a 'lot'. We are all individuals and some of us share some views on some topics while disagreeing on others. That is what adults do. Surely you don't expect random people on the internet to read something you wrote and agree with you?
No. The mess is caused by a group of feminists who have targeted a woman who has been doing her own thing, but they don't agree. It has crossed into bullying, complete with a sin page on a feminist website, and that has been noted.
Women who do not agree with you, but recognise Kellie Jay Keen's strengths and her weaknesses choose to support her regardless of what you and the bullying feminists want us to do. As I have said, I have combed a great deal of the 'evidence' and I know others have to. As many are saying on this thread, we know what she has said! We choose to not take a bad faith interpretation or to understand that we will not agree with what she says all the time.
Just like Julie Bindel. I think she says stuff that I find fucked up. But women need all these voices and we also need to make these choices on what we support from people and move on.
But you, OP, seem to be the one who expects to 'belong' to a political party and a website. Despite you telling us that is how you see us.
And I call that projection.
