Page 7 | What threads do you always hide?

If any! If I scroll through and see anyone ask about accountancy help, HMRC advice, tax return, accounts etc I just hide them. I can't stand seeing 90% of the "advice" on those threads being absolute bollocks. I used to hide the divorce ones when I was going through mine, I didn't want extra headspace going into it.

Should we DNA test everyone to see who has an unfair advantage? If you're worried about sport, then surely we should go the whole hog and test everyone. That way, we can be sure that it's a fair race.

Exactly. I can't help but think that hiding threads is a small symptom of the apparent modern belief that people (adults and children) need to be kept 'safe' by never having to encounter anything they dislike or disagree with. That's not safety. It's arguably really dangerous for the future of humanity.

Tbh for me it's nothing at all with being 'kept safe' I just find it all boring as hell. It's the same thing repeated in 100s of threads, the same thing said 100 different ways and it's been going on for years. I don't want to see it, it doesn't interest me, just like pregnancy threads don't interest me or threads about London. It's obviously some peoples special interest but lots of us really just don't have the interest to read the same thing over and over. So it's not that I can't stand to see something I dislike it's that it's boring af and I only have so many free hours in a day, why would I waste it on that!?

I'd love to see who these individuals are that the PP thinks have changed sex 🤔

TheKeatingFive · 16/04/2025 12:15

Laws or societal norms will not stop determined abusers and harassers.

It wont stop everyone, but that doesn't mean we throw our hands up and make it easier for men to abuse and harass women.

Locking your door at night won't stop
all burglars, but that doesn't mean you're going to throw it open instead, now does it?

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 16/04/2025 12:15

I've not seen any evidence to suggest that trans women have an unfair advantage in sports.

That's hilarious, frankly.

People can and have changed sex, whether you like it or not, makes no difference.

You don’t think males have an unfair advantage over women in sports? Really? So why are sports sex segregated?

No, humans cannot change sex. It doesn’t matter whether I or anyone else likes it or not. It is a fact.

@AllProperTeaIsTheft The reason I don't stop and read the comments is because of the hate that's directed towards me. Your arguments always fall flat.

My only arguments are 1) People can't change sex 2) Statistically, women and girls suffer large amounts of violence and abuse from male-bodied people and 3) Male puberty and usually slso bidy mass give men an unfair advantage over women in most sports.

None of those are actually arguments though, they are facts.

The only category I’ve ever hidden was Brexit before the vote. I dismissed them as deranged fantasists and was sure nobody in their right mind would vote to leave the EU.
How wrong I was…

This is a bit of a cautionary tale, isn't it?

DaisyDooordont · 16/04/2025 11:57

I tend to hide the ones that are just basically moaning about shit husbands. That type of thread irritates the fuck out of me. Because whether the OP is being unreasonble or not, its just a post to whine about someone and I cant be bothered with it. I go to the effort of hiding because I don't want the thread to keep appearing on the Trending tab.

I also hide the ones that get thousands of responses and the OP seems to be lapping it up/or I think it's fake. E.g. the recent one with the woman whos' footballer boyfriend went to a strip club. Hide them for the same reason as above.

It saves my eyes the tension of constant rolling 😂

Yes. We will have to share bathrooms with people that are men. Nice job, TERFS.

Any of the ones where people are spouting off myth after myth about the incredible benefits of breastfeeding, not realising that there is zero evidence it has any long term impact on a child, and only a couple of very minor short term benefits in infancy. It's just so sad to see the state of infant feeding support in this country that otherwise intelligent people have been hoodwinked into genuinely believing that it has any influence on things like IQ, longterm health, obesity etc. and then it's used to try and force mothers into feeling pressured into breastfeeding. I know so many women who wouldn't have gone through the pain and stress and sleep deprivation of breastfeeding if they'd known better.

But what you are referring to as a 'fully transitioned transwoman ' is still a man. No one can change their sex.

But the poster I was responding to was talking about “fully intact males”.

Sad ones about animals, anything that has hubby or talk me down in the title. Any that have ‘let’s call her/him’ in the OP instant click out and hidden.
I have the Feminism board hidden.

But many don’t want even fully transitioned transwomen in female spaces. Or that not anti trans?
