OR are just amused by American politics?

But don’t feed it to the kittens.

I'm confused. Why would you assume that all mums are as vacuous and ignorant as you seem to be?

Wrong question, you should be asking:

Why was I triggered by an obvious tongue-in-cheek thread?

Before you throw out personal insults consider consulting a mirror. Cheers.

Men in conversation: sports and politics.
Mums in conversations: kids and gossip.

At the end of the day, whether it's kids or politicians, you have the same end result which is trying to understand someone with a complete lack of logic who thinks they're always right, and being knee deep in shit.

Typically people are MORE interested in politics of their own nation, men or women.

Nah
In the last 10 years, people were only interested in the gossip from totally shit political comments. No one was interested in politics, there was none going on!

Have you seen the MP Rosie Holt? She was good 😁😁

I did an American politics degree. But as soon as I gave birth all my knowledge deserted me. Who is the President again?

Calvin Coolidge. Do you not have any social media? Do you have a husband? Maybe he'll let you have a peek at his.

I've been following since Obama won. Then I watched in shock horror Trump winning. It didn't surprise me Nigel Farage and Trump were besties.

I'm interested in both American politics and kittens. Don't think my female cat gives a damn about either though.
However since neither of us are mums perhaps our view doesn't count?

Every view counts. Especially about your kittens 😏

Well but if you go down that route, few mums are actually interested in politics in the U.K. either….

Do you think that’s REALLY the truth?

Men don't do the IMPORTANT thinking, that is why they think of politics so much.

I thought men were continuously occupied with the Roman Empire? Shouldn't leave them much time for politics.

Also, why is it "men" on the one hand, "mums" on the other? Unless you want to hypothesize some extreme form of society-wide polygamy, common sense would suggest you need equal numbers of each for procreation?

Women have no value outside being mothers. Men are men and therefore useful.

Coughsweet · 24/07/2024 17:47

Honestly OP, there are kittens out there mewing for your attention. You’ve abandoned them for long enough. Where is your conscience?

DullFanFiction · 24/07/2024 17:47

ramblingfool · 24/07/2024 17:17

I know a few mums. Few follow American politics. Not saying none do, just not many. No data to back that up, but in conversation, they rather talk about the latest gossip. Just sayin'.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 24/07/2024 17:46

Why is it relevant whether MNers are mums when asking them if they follow US politics? I follow it in the sense that I follow the news, including international news. I am not amused by it.

Anyway, I'm not sure your either/or really works. Surely you have to follow it to a certain extent in order to be amused by it!

samedifferent · 24/07/2024 17:46

Darn, I like to discuss American politics while crocheting. Quite concerning I'm womening wrong now!
Do you have a handy guide to follow OP?
