Official Complaint to Mumsnet

I bet a tenner to a pinch off shit that Mumsnet will do fuck all about it and, as we know that any criticism of trans women is immediately moved to the Feminist Board, where it may or may not last-it's clear that they support transwomen in every way and punish those who don't by removing threads.

So, they won't be apologising for 'Vulva Owners'either, as they fully support this madness

If you have the time, write to the advertiser and tell them that because of inappropriate advertising, you won't be buying their vibrator.

If this post is deleted, well you all know what it said and it will have been deleted because it's true.

I am not a person with a womb. I am a woman. I am on Mumsnet because I am a mother and because here is a safe space that I can discuss things that pertain to being a woman and a mother.

'People with wombs', Mumsnet, really?

You saw nothing wrong with this language? Even though you moderate the Feminism boards constantly and are well aware of the arguments on this topic?

And no, I don't want to see these sorts of ads on a site that I look at around my young daughter, actually.

I don’t buy any products from companies who don’t know what a woman is. So, there’s that.

But even without the offensive, demeaning use of language in their blurb, I’m cringing at the idea of sex in motherhood being taboo. It’s so Victorian.

Mothers don’t have an issue with having sex. Maybe weird, creepy penis-having marketing guys do, though.

I think you'll find, @CherylMumsnet , that the wording is unpopular with 99% of the female population of the entire planet, not just here. Calling us 'vulva havers' and 'womb havers' is so utterly, disgracefully misogynistic and shows an intense hatred of women. You know, the people you rely on to keep this site going? Find the worthless pos from your side who 'okayed' these ads, (they were vetted, right? By someone in Mumsnet?) and sack them. That sort of person should not be working for you or have anything to do with a site that affects women. Only place they should be is a MensRightsNet incel site.

I have AdBlock on Chrome (it's free) and never see adverts. Also I'm not a vulva owner. It's not a pet or an item. :/

Misses the point entirely.

Noone wants to buy the product now we know it’s marketed by trans apologists. The only thing this thread will have achieved is us telling Smile how to best bullshit us…You can cover a turd in glitter but it’s still a turd.

And I’m afraid MN has exposed itself to be willing to flog its soul to the devil. Have you head the expression ‘wanking for coins’?

DISGUSTING.

Agree…its all bullshit. I see the tide turning on it though and people are really fed up of it now.

Sex and motherhood is taboo? Like, do they even read the threads here because I’d say this is a subject people talk about ALL the time.

"Some of the wording"?

No no no no, read the room. This is an enormous issue and relates to trans politics. You need to decide where you stand and be consistent.

Either claim TWAW and alienate most of your female membership or accept that trans is much like a political or religious belief and is something that you will never be able to force upon us.

You need to be reviewing your own policies and practices, not discussing the wording of an advert. It's the entire ethos behind the damn words which are at fault and women won't wheesht any more.

That is exactly it. I avoid certain sites when DC around as they're always clambering over me or sitting on my lap. Mumsnet was a safe one!
And people with wombs 🙄 just, no!

Having just come across a thread about rimming, I don't see many women on here pearl clutching about something as ordinary as masturbation or feeling that Mums having sex is a taboo. Patronising.

It deserves a complaint alone just for ‘vulva owners’…Women was the word they were looking for.

Agree completely with the complaint.

Yes I agree , very inappropriate

Whoever wrote all that nauseating blurb could have saved an awful lot of time if they'd just gone with the word 'women'.

It's like a masterclass in how to alienate your core demographic.

Did this company do any research on mumsnet users at all?

Great start. Pissing off the majority of the platform you are advertising on.

In all seriousness though, I’m so sickened by this whole issue (in particular the fact MN have exposed themselves as trans apologists) that I’m seriously considering leaving, as I don’t want to associate myself with this ‘people with wombs’ utter bullshit. I’ve been a member for 12 years.

Anyone else contemplating leaving with me?

Don't give them any more ideas! First Shrek then the poor Wombles!

The tagine will be: underground overground...

Are the phrases everyone's offended by on the full advert? I couldn't see them on the screenshot shared by another poster.

😂😂😂

50/50 on this.

I don’t like it either, it gives the impression I’ve been searching for vibrators because we all know that we get targeted with specific ads if we’ve searched for something.

Maybe there should be an ad watershed. Ie, only be allowed to pop up after 9pm. You wouldn’t have a vibrator ad on daytime tv, and I think the feeling is the same here.
