OR are just amused by American politics?

A) I was being ironic and
B) you've just undermined your own thread.

Do you not have a golf course to be on or something?

MN is full of stupid threads atm.

Summer holidays. Reads like a 15 year old.

Some take a quizzical look at some of the threads on here, others take them very seriously. I guess those who take them very seriously think they are "stupid."

How many men really know what they're talking about? Or are just amused by their own ego?

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

So the IMPORTANT thinking is gossip?

Why American politics in particular? Why not all politics or whatever?

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

Maybe you mix with the wrong type of people. Most people I know talk about a whole range of topics, and their gender doesn't define it. Our gender or sex doesn't represent our interests!

kiwiane · 24/07/2024 17:25

You’re wrong and sexist - many are interested in US politics.

I find this a strange question. I'm a mum and very interested in politics, including American politics. I was interested in politics before becoming a mum and that hasn't changed.
Of course millions of people (including mums, child free women, dads, child free men) have no interest in politics. I'm not sure why you single out mums?

Not singling out anyone. This forum is called Mumsnet not Dadsnet, so the question was for a specific audience.

Maybe just the women you know OP? I have many female friends who are interested in politics.

surlycurly · 24/07/2024 17:23

If I don't have a man to do all the important thinking for me, am I allowed to be interested in American politics? Just asking...

Maybe you haven't given them the secret signal so stick to the "safe" topics of kids and gossip.

For goodness' sake, we've just been through this! All of the mums and dads follow it, because they have a stake in the future. It's just the childless cat ladies, of all sexes, who can afford to ignore it.

We are all too busy with kittens and knitting for all that political stuff. Leave that to the men!

At least the mums have the priorities in the right place.

Someone is keeping the data from us. It’ll be the Ragdolls, sneaky little fuckers, I’ve never liked them.

You have your doubts. Do expand.

But are their kittens interested in American politics? I think we should be told.

Wouldn't that make them moms?
