i would like to apply to host this group. [View all]

when a thread on how sexism is impacting my life gets shut down and i am told it is "only tangentially related to feminism" there is something wrong going on here.
that the thread only got a couple of responses shows that either this forum is a back water where no one dares tread, or i am not heard because the loudest voices here do not wish to have my voice heard.

either way, this is hosed up. and locking threads for no reason is just not a SUPPOSED to be allowed. cross posting is not against the rules. hell, boring threads are not against the rules.

just amazing that i would be silenced here.
