Two more GN categories for 2014?

Just room to squeeze two more categories onto the Forum list on GN.
I'd like to nominate:
Education - because as parents and grandparents we are very concerned about this.
and
Feminism - because as parents and grandparents we are very concerned about equality of opportunity for our younger family members. And because many of us are older women and suffer the double whammy of agism and sexism.

Splendid suggestion. Both these topics arise frequently and get lost in Chat or some such. A big yes from MiceElf.

Good! They are topics that recur, but usually in the middle of something else. I would welcome separate threads.

Or perhaps misogyny and misandry if there is such a word or just misanthropy?

What, as a topic Stansgran?

If you have an education thread, which is a good idea, can you please include some understanding for the hard pressed teachers. Remember, they've got mum's who worry about them too. It's a heavy workload with sometimes not much appreciation from the parents.

Bump.
Why have we got a knitting section and no Education or Feminism sections?
(There is nothing wrong with knitting, but can it include crochet as well please.)
C'mon GN team. Just a little New Year gift. I didn't ask anybody else for anything for Christmas. sad

I support JessM's request. Education is covered in several different forums and it would be much easier to follow the arguments if the threads were brought together in a single forum. Likewise Feminism.
