Feminist board

I would like to know why there were no girls watching the football, irrelevant to the need for a box.

Because they were all playing!

Back to serious discussion.

No.

What has happened to the Philosophy Forum?

Ok - I inferred that but basically you are saying that because of the way you think I post and that I'm bossy you will vote against the suggestion even though you wouldn't have to go anywhere near the board- sounds pretty negatively personal to me. ab and pretty 'dog in the manger-ish' or petty some might say. Well fortunately you can't stop me starting threads on feminist issues which is obviously the alternative. What a pity this thread has come to this - it was started in complete good faith and there were some interesting posts - and I include some of the ones that completely disagreed with me - at least they didn't make it personal because it didn't need to be

Was there a philosophy board? that would have done. I have been wondering about sneaking into Grandads Shed or asking for a Feminist Shed. Good point about the boys and the football match - dreadful dreadful sexism

Rigsby, I am not interested in your views on feminism , I said what I did because you seemed puzzled as to why some said no , I gave my reasons . You can start a thread on any topic , those interested will post those not interested will not.

Rigby your post of 14.26. Now I understand.
I would vote "yes" BTW.

So ab your reasons are just personal to me and you are happy to try and stop a new board for that reason. If someone else you approved of had suggested the idea, you wouldn't have objected? As I said dog in the manger and terribly grown up. Perhaps dj should make the suggestion ....oh wait, that might not work

kitty what are you about - <tilts head> can I help?

Thats a no from me also

Rigby Why must i agree with ever other female's views or actions just because i am also a woman ?

The feminist thread on the other side is truly dire - maybe we are well off without such a thing here?!

* granny* who said you had to? I swear I don't know how you managed to make that jump from what I've said on here. I'm truly can you explain?

It's a 'no' from me.

Well Lucky

a) I think there's some really good thought provoking stuff over there
b) ours could be better than theirs

Because I don't think we need one. The example given of women being required to wear high heels at work is a subject which most of us (men included) would have a view on and it's surely not just a 'feminist' issue.

Can't we have a feminist board so there's somewhere I can go and talk to myself on feminist issues?

Rigby you got off to an unfortunate start with this rather patronising and superior comment, as though you are the only person with an interest in feminist issues.

Why don't you just start a thread and state that you're seeking comments on the feminist aspect.

Can I ask GN if there was vote on Grandad's shed before it was started? If not then isn't it showing real sexism to only allow a feminist board if enough people say "Yes"?
Anyway I will say "Yes"
One of the things that interests me is Women's history and how it is forgotten and unrecorded, possibly because history books were mostly written by men. I wonder how many people realise that one of the aims of the suffragettes in the 1900s was "Equal Pay for equal work". They gave us the vote but it took over 70 years to get equal pay and there is still a great gap between men and women.

God Riverwalk it just shows how misunderstandings arise doesn't it? My comment was meant in a very deprecating way - I'd no idea at all that it had come across like that. S***. So all these noes are because of that? Really?

Self deprecating I meant

My No wasn't.
