Feminist board

Woman's room?
Surely, we're all ladiees on here?

rigby I jumped to that conclusion after your post yesterday at 08:33:43 re negative language against other women.

Being a lazy arse pushed for time, I haven't read the whole thread. But does anyone else think that there used to be a Feminist forum on Gransnet? I say so only because shortly after I joined in 2012 I posted what I thought was a jolly little anecdote re something DH had said to me which was slightly less than supportive of my dreams of being a Booker prize winning author . I was taken aback by how seriously it was taken and how harsh the criticism of the poor eejit was, until I realised I was (wasn't I?) on the Feminist forum.

Or have I dreamt this?

That aside, I feel that if others think there is a need for a Feminist forum, we should have one. Why not? I doubt I'll be using it though - I've just popped into the one on Mumsnet and backed out slowly and quietly before anyone noticed I was there...

No not just you.

Do you need a board, though, if you are going to talk to yourself - I do that at home all the time. And when I'm out too, which does tend to attract strange looks.

However, if there is one, I am sure people will contribute their ideas and views.

Are you? Bet a lot would be put off in case they got shouted at...

Women's Room sounds rather like 'Ladies' Lavatories^

Dear Mrs Broon

I think the term would be gruntfuttocker ie an acolyte of Gruntfuttock.

Yours sincerely

Being a bit slow on the uptake I didn't know what you meant at first Rigby46 but now have read thro' the posts I think that under a Forum Topic "Feminism" would be a splendid idea and I would support it. Why should Mumsnet have all the fun? I can't say I am an expert and guess am an old fashioned type of feminist.

Thanks Pogs

I don't mind going slightly mad, if I am, but I'd prefer not to do it alone!

Who you calling a gruntfuttocker?
Language Timothy!!

Jalima i am glad its not just me who wanders round the supermarket talking to myself

Language Timothy!!
Oh yes, I should have put that on the sayings from films and tv thread
I often say it to DH
but that is another time when I am talking to myself

I've been out and have only read bits and pieces of this thread. However the suggestion that we have a Forum Topic 'Feminism ' has given me a pause for thought. I think it's a good idea.

Feminism isn't just about equal pay, time has moved on and it's much broader. Not least because of gays rights and transgenic issues.

Maggie There did used to be a Feminism forum, as I surmised on page one of this thread

Ah, I'm glad about that, janea. I'm not imagining things then (or at least, not this time).
