If Fathers for Justice invade again

will they still be welcome?

I'm referring to the thread in the Feminism/Women's Rights section -

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/a1419965-Agenda-much

where Justine said:

"an invasion - ie let's go on and tell those mumsnetters why they've got it all wrong - isn't necessarily the same as trolling tbh (ie deliberately misleading/antagonising). I think we ought to be able to be robust enough to be able to debate the issue, with the caveat, of course, that if visitors turn out merely to be here to wind up or hear to spread hatred then they are not welcome"

It appears that as long as they promote their agenda in PARD then no harm done. Is that a fair assessment?

the written over child is amazingly 'wrong'. they're labelling the children of single parent families with stereotypes Confused how is that good for their children?

they seem to have no sense of responsibility towards children from the looks of their campaign materials. porn imagery on one and the promotion of prejudice against boys raised in lone parent families on the next.

mind boggling. and this is their way of attempting to show they're responsible parents despite courts thinking otherwise?

they're back trolling the mumsnet page. They're complaining that mumsnet is called MUMSnet and not something more inclusive, kind of ironic coming from folk who are part of an organisation called FATHERS4Justice. They really are very very stupid.

I find the imagery of the graffiti'd child as disturbing as the gagged children tbf. Their marketing/graphic designer has got it so so wrong.

FrothyDragon · 11/03/2012 19:10

Yes, Turnip. Exactly that.

runningforthebusinheels · 11/03/2012 19:01

Ditto CagneyNLacey and we should shout that from the rooftops. All men are certainly not like this.

Btw, how do MNHQ feel about them using and abusing the MN Logo on their despicable campaign posters? Isn't it theirs by copyright?

Surely not, NP.

In one of the comments yesterday someone was hinting they knew one of our posters in RL. Which would also never happen I'm sure...

NarkedPuffin · 11/03/2012 18:20

Someone pointed out that a poster in their comments section was using a Justine 'quote' from an April Fools article. They deleted that comment and let the one with the quote stand. Surely that's deliberate misrepresentation? But they would never do that, would they?

courts over run by feminists - yes that'll explain why rapists and pedophiles and dv perpetrators have such a high conviction rate and are given such long sentences! oh wait......

NarkedPuffin · 11/03/2012 17:40

All they need now is a picture of Germaine Greer on a grassy knoll ...

AyeRobot · 11/03/2012 17:38

Saf, I think their stance is that the courts and cafcass are over-run with feminists and are biased and anti-men and corrupt and the lawyers are only interested in court because of the money and and and

They're trying to stir up publicity by targeting organisations that have a good public profile. MNHQ are aware and will be dealing with it.

Frankly I can't think of anything that better illustrates who/what they are than the official posts on their own Facebook page and their decision to attack MN, Gingerbread and a firm of solicitorsGrin

ThisIsExtremelyVeryNotGood · 11/03/2012 17:28

Yes, the quote from Justine at the end Grin

Well said Basil.

As for hating boys and men, I know a lot of boys, they are all children and as such how can they be worthy of hatred. I have sons, it would be impossible for to hate them. I have a fantastic father, know many other men, I don't hate any of them. Where has anyone, anyone, posted that they hate all men?

On a lighter note, someone just posted a quote from that fake April Fool's article as fact Grin

TunipTheVegemal · 11/03/2012 17:20

are they trying to provoke a legal confrontation because they just want their day in court?

So they're just going around winding up any organisation they can think of in the hope that one takes the bait.

The Mumsnet one is so silly the only reaction it provokes in me is 'yeah whatevs'.

It's very unclear what they're complaining about but as far as I can see they seem to be objecting that someone on Mumsnet used the word paedophile once.

basic simple fact is what rational person is going to find a person who has been deemed too dangerous to see their own child a credible authority on parenting or the legal system?
