• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Do we? I still think some people are missing the point. So long as there are misconceptions to clear up about feminism and what it means, I don't think the question is a semantic one.

    It's a good thing male feminists are around to provide input on such issues, then, isn't it? I can see where you're coming from, but I just can't agree. Just because a lot of people misunderstand the term doesn't mean we should stop using it. Instead we should educate people about what it...
