Why is there no feminism superthread?

    so, it goes:
    -Feminist writes something on her own blog.
    -Someone who just happens to not like it posts about it on After Hours in a way that just happens to be anti feminist (why not Beer Guts Receding Hairlinesthe Gentlemen's Club?)
    -the flies are attracted to the 💩 and feast

    Kinda wondering why all this stuff isn't put into a superthread?

    Also, is After Hours really a nastier side of BGRHthe Gentlemen's Club?? Is it kind like Hill 16 during a Dubs game? Anyone can buy a ticket, but only Male Rights people welcome?

    You must be a card carrying feminist if you think that boards is exclusively pro male rights. The blog in question was on an unreported rape which is being questioned for its validity.

    Can we have a list of approved feminist/SJW topics we are allowed to discuss ?

    has anyone tried to have a feminist forum started? they could stick it in the world religions section

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    BGRH is anti feminist now?

    I didn't get the memo.

    Surely no-one is going to fall for such obvious baiting.

    Feminist superthread


    Oh yeah lock all the free thinking women into a single thread???

    SEXIST

    BIGOT

    Oh yeah, a feminist superthread is just what the misogynist leaders of boards want. Get all the feminists into one thread then set it on fire, or put all the chicks I mean women in chains making sangwedges.

    Probably because it's too serious a topic to allow the AH gang of reprobates to piss and moan about.

    While it has sadly been in decline for some time now, BGRH was always an inclusive forum and was never solely a male preserve. Some of the most active posters there were women and the female posters were never disrespected. To call it anti-feminist is way off the mark.

    It was once the most fun (or deranged, depending on your point of view) place on Boards.

    Hope you don't mind if I ask you something personal OP but... what are you on about?

    Certainly not anti feminist, and far more respectable than what I'm seeing here. But I'd expect actual Male Rights proponents to get the space there to articulate actual issues free from the more extremist fems as opposed to posting here, where, to me, it's like the tickets are free for all to purchase, but the MRA ultras bought up all the tickets to the stands, put out the idea that "these stands are ultra only" and any opposing fans get the full "ultra treatment".

    I digress though. I'm just wondering why these cesspool threads, making the same points, aren't put together in a single "look what the crazy fems are at now" thread, like "Hazards of Belief" in AA.

    The Louise O'Neill thread probably is that at this stage.

    I think a "Bullshít Artist" mega thread is more applicable. Because all people are doing is calling it. Has little to do with Feminists, just happens its the most common label here because of how some bullshít artists are identifying themselves.

    BGRH was never a "male rights" forum, it was purely a social forum intended for a bit of fun. Anyone attempting to start a serious discussion, such as "male rights" for instance, would have their thread closed very quickly and be told where to go.

    *goes looking for the Ladies Lounge to make counterpoint*

    *sees forum called the Gentlemen's Club next to it*

    Hang on, there's a Gentlemen's Club forum? My apologies to BGRH, *this* is the place for male rights discussion! May BRGH remain free from the muck!

    So can we merge the threads & re-title the thread as BS artists (or something else? Open to suggestions.)

    Thats one hell of a long term thread. I think I've actually met her years ago. I was trying to thing of a stupid joke about "this thread has some legs" but I thought it was a reach.
