Totally inappropriate enormous vibrator adverts now ALL over Mumnset.

What on earth are you thinking of? Is Mumsnet really that short of cash that they have to stoop this low?

Not to mention the ridiculous woke language ie "people with wombs".

Totally inappropriate on ALL levels.

Would any of you creative types care to produce some advertising copy for the Wheesht? Grin

The Wheesht Vibrator!

You cannot go wrong with the Wheesht. You will never want to put it down. Your sexual partners will flock to AIBU to ask where they went wrong, when you have this tasteful vibrator in your possession.

Finished in a lovely tricolour of white, violet and green, you can thank the women who went before you and got you the vote as you experience endless, glorious pleasure ( instead of making the dinner and so on ).

Do not delay! Send your money today! The Wheesht will come in a plain wrapper so the postman does not know your secret.
You might like to answer your door for a change when the Wheesht is on its way to you, so that you do not miss it! We know you MNetters and your disdain for people who have the temerity to knock at your door.............

Coming to a neighbourhood near you! (Geddit?)

@CoffeeRightNow 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻. Nail. On. Head.

CoffeeRightNow · 02/02/2023 13:02

Maybe the thread in Feminists Chat is allowed in Active because, y’know, those bloody TERFS, of course they’re going to pick holes in our wonderful, green, mumsy vibrator!

All the rest of us vulva owners were assumed to be not that bothered with these ‘niche’ issues. Maybe a bit of a shock that a lot of plain old little Mums aren’t on board with this shit?

Found this thread via a link from another thread. I feel quite lucky given its now hidden and exclusionary status. Is this a bit like The Beach? Will we need to leave maps for other womb havers to get here? Who's head cult leader and when are the drug dealers due?

Brilliant 😂.

Glad you’ve made it over here @FourTeaFallOut - I’m pleased my trail of breadcrumbs lured you here a la Hansel & Greek. Now just get in this cage and let MN trick you into its oven!

YesitsBess · 02/02/2023 13:01

Welcome! Our leader is Princess Fiona and Donkey will be along presently with the pharmaceuticals.

@Beyonsp please share the delight on that thread. If you haven't* *already.

MuckyPlucky · 02/02/2023 12:59

@MNHQ Have you had chance to consider your answer to my direct question to you upthread, asking for an explanation of why this thread has been hidden from Actives? Genuinely wondering which bit of the usual talk guidelines has been breeched and/or what is your reasoning? It’d be helpful to know, for future reference.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Ohifyouinsist · 02/02/2023 12:58

Reducing women to body parts and trying to keep our opinions muted is not a good look.

Slothtoes · 02/02/2023 12:56

see also this thread on Shrek’s ear which does appear in Active www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4733463-mumsnet-vibrator-for-mothers-women-and-people-with-wombs?page=5&reply=123585193

Et tu Mumsnet?

Dear me.

Have you lot in MN Towers got an explanation for this perfidy?

Ohifyouinsist · 02/02/2023 12:54

Posted earlier in the thread, but am still so cross that in a week when women's rights have actually taken a step forward with the misogyny of Sturgeon laid bare for all to see, that MN does this.

Women are not a collection of sexual organ havers, we are adult human females. How dare that company reduce us to vulva havers? And it's not just the company's responsibility, MN have collaberated with this company to perpetuate the misogyny. How on earth did they get it so wrong?

BoreOfWhabylon · 02/02/2023 11:57

Tell you what, @CherylMumsnet , get Smile to produce a vibrator for people who know what a woman is. In green, white and violet. You could call it the Wheesht.

Would any of you creative types care to produce some advertising copy for the Wheesht? Grin

Smile Makers (and their smiley face logo) is very creepy for a sex toy brand, it looks like a chain of nurseries.

TrashyPanda · 02/02/2023 12:48

And what is the crap about sex being taboo for mothers?

Ann Summers is a high street shop.
they don’t ban mothers.

this free marketing from MN is not going well for Smile Makers.

would anyone buy from this company now?

kind of an own goal.

@Moopsi Precisely! Job jobbed 😁

MuckyPlucky · 02/02/2023 12:42

I wonder what might be the response if every single person on this thread were to post asking innocently why our legitimate, non-rule-breaking thread has been hidden from ‘Active’?

Called a vulva owner.

Given an embarrassing GenderWoo101 lesson on ‘cis gender’

Presented with a green thumb thingy.

Told I need it because as a mother I must be so <coy giggle> embarrassed about the fact I am a sexual being

God, I feel horny now. Horny and empowered. In fact, horny and empowered and educated.

You really have made me smile @SmileMakers

I think I love you.

MuckyPlucky · 02/02/2023 12:41

@MNHQ Why is this thread now hidden from ‘Active’ ? Could you enlighten us all please? TIA
