I was radicalised by Mumsnet many years ago. I got bored during the terrible years when almost every post was reported by the menz with wimmin feelz, and threads were full of deletions. Then we were relegated to the outer limits of forum land, split from the Feminism board, because obviously we are not Feminists, just hateful bigots. And I stopped coming here, there was no point.
I have never been a prolific poster, but I loved reading, learning, the humour.
Then something started to change, Forstater, first, then Allison Bailey. So I came back to read. And it was lovely again. But just like in real life, leaving an abuser is the worst time. And after FWS the TRAs have come back with a vengeance. they spoil threads, they are like spoiled children, never told no. They call us Nazis but I have never known a group as determined to make everyone think the way they do. To make societal changes, to change the law. To break the law and walk away.
I dont come here as often, and that is a shame, because I know all the things I want to know about will be here. I want to know how the Employment Tribunals are going, the many wins we are having, seeing common sense finally prevail. Then I log in and look at the front page, and it is full of 'why do you hate us'. My answer is this ' because of this you morons'. Because you brook no debate, no difference of opinion. And it is not hate, it is someone absolutely fed up of toddler tantrums. You lost, suck it up. People are actually fed up of your antics. People who a few years ago were live and let live. You did it. You spoiled it for yourselves right from the start. You tried it by stealth, and now you scream like little babies 'wah why does no one like me, why can't I have all the sweets'. You are the architects of your own demise.
