To expect to see more women supporting other women?

I’m not going to automatically support someone just because they happen to be a woman. Women do plenty of things that don’t deserve support.

#Be kind?

No thanks.

The reason I love Mumsnet is because the women on here will challenge others, and won't just blindly offer support because the poster has a vagina.

Yes, some posters are dicks and trolls but the majority on here are not.

I haven't voted, as I think YABU to say you should stand up for someone just because she is a woman, but not for the reason in your OP.

I always to what I can to stand up for what is right , and if it happens that it is a woman who is behaving awfully, I am not going to stand up for her because she happens to be a woman.
Yes, Women have faced centuries of abuse and misogyny , and, as such I try and support where I can with that in mind, in the same way I do for any group that is being or has been discriminated against, but that isn't blanket permission for women to behave poorly and then expect support.

Yes, I think as humans, we should all try and boost people when the opportunity arises. I try and say something nice when I can, but I say it to people whatever sex they are.

I always try to be a good person but sometimes on here people ask for opinions and then lambast anyone who doesn't agree with them. I think it's refreshingly honest here, but yes you do see some plain spiteful replies. Equally though, if your response is anything other than 'leave the b***d' when someone is asking about a relationship, you can be on the receiving end of nonsensical buzz words, as though by disagreeing with that one post, you have letdown the whole sisterhood.

It's great when we can celebrate our differences as well as our common ground.

Humans can be horrible to other humans. We’re all flawed, we have capacity to be rationally hurt and irrationally hurt others. Some humans are not nice irrespective of sex. It’s the way it’s always been.

Professionally I manage 3 young women. My job is to stand them on my shoulders, leverage my progress and achieve more, and they are. But there was a 4th I couldn’t stand. Hated her gamesmanship with others. Her back stabbing. I passed her off to someone else. No shoulders for her.

I think the anonymity of this forum definitely gives some people on it more opportunity to be unsupportive, nasty and rude with their comments.
On the other hand I've seen amazing supportive comments from women to women.
It's social media it can bring you down it can raise you up.
