FFS TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS FROM YOUR SETTINGS!

Also they are replies. If you don't want to engage in a discussion on a discussion board, why come here? Stop wasting our time.

A quick reminder that the uptick in bad-faith posters is to distract us from talking about

the Finnish trial

and also

the violent language used by TRA counter-demonstrators at the FWS one year anniversary demo.

Exactly. Loads of posters get dozens and dozens of notifications. Hence turning them off.

Talk about Main Character Syndrome!

When I reply to your posts, I'm not just talking to you, I'm also rebutting your arguments for other readers to see how wrong you are.

Don't be daft. This is an interactive messaging forum. If you don't want people to respond to you, don't post on it. It's not a soap box.

Everybody else turns notifications off. Do that, and then the issue disappears. Unless you like the notifications, because it gives you a reason to ignore people?

Guess what? You don't need a reason.

Just read the thread like a normal poster.

Then be proactive, simply turn them off, and focus on the posts on here. Otherwise the notifications will continue to do what notifications are designed to do, and notify you.

22 notifications. Multiple from same usernames. Spoil it for yourselves.

Yes, thank you.

There has been one BLACK MAN PM, but not one single black WOMAN PM. So all men, including black men, have privilege and black women do not.

Again....

Yep, a black MALE President.

Not one single woman President. White or black. GlovedhandsCecilia can't argue against that point. Because her manipulatively using the race card falls flat here.

I am also black and you don't speak for me. Most black women I know, know how seriously vulnerable we as women are. You don't speak for any black woman. Nor any woman at all.

PS. Just TURN OFF your notifications! No one uses notifications, they are not necessary. Just visit the thread on your 'watch list' on the website like every one else of us does. I don't even look at my email account I used to sign up to Mumsnet. I don't even log into it unless I need to email Mumsnet specifically about something.

You realise you can turn off notifications in your account settings, right?

You still need to go to the physical web site to read messages.

That said, if you get upset by people merely replying to you, maybe a message board is not right for you.

Men RAPE women. They physically overpower us. Faster than us. Rape. Domestic Violence.

FFS.

If you still say women are not inherently vulnerable because of our sex, you're being goady and disingenuous. Even a kid understands women are inherently vulnerable. You're trying to argue hens are not inherently vulnerable to foxes. You are simply not real.

you’re making yourself look extremely foolish here @GlovedhandsCeciliaapologising for Aida. I assume you’re aware of the content they publish elsewhere and are totally fine with it?

If you don't think something from a group of males who regularly talk about raping women til they bleed and being raped with a razor-covered baseball bat is a rape threat, I suggest you spend some time visiting a rape crisis centre. Your ignorance comes from a lack of education and experience. Not your fault but instead of attacking people who are trying to educate you, maybe listen and consider that you may be wrong. I can promise you any counsellor at a rape crisis centre will set you straight that what he said most definitely is a rape threat. No doubt about that.

Then you're not grounded in reality. Women ARE inherently vulnerable because of our sex. That is reality. At least one in 4 women is raped. One of them is me. I KNOW how vulnerable women are by personal experience. Domestic Violence. And 3 women per week are killed by men. A Scottish survey found 96% of all women had been sexually harassed at one point in their lives. Ninety-six percent. 96%. Everything that women do each day is outlined in this meme shows we ARE inherently vulnerable and denying it, is misogynistic and disingenuous.

There is a power differential. A female saying that is completely different from a male from a group of males who advocate women be raped and assaulted and 'die in a greasefire' and be 'curbstomped' and be 'burned alive' and 'raped til your insides bleed' comes from a completely different place.

This should not even need to be said or explained.

Get back to us when women are giving RAPE THREATS and DEATH THREATS to the men. Until then 'it's both sides' is just typical MRA/TRA lies and we don't believe the act.

No but if they said she should be "hung by a tree" that would be different considering the history of lynching African Americans.

Saying a woman should be 'fucked' (read: raped) with an object designed to inflict damage and pain is clearly sex-specific, as hung by a tree is race-specific. The fact that these males frequently talk about raping and sexually assaulting feminists shows that it's about rape, and you aren't fooling anyone by you pretending it isn't, you are being disingenuous.

Until someone posts his nasty little 'rolling pin' comment. Seems to have a garlic/vampire effect.

Do you think safeguarding is infantilising? Why?

If you would rather not have protective laws, how do you think that would work? Do you think that even the first momentum of anti- discrimination awareness would have been maintained if there were not the protections put in place? And to be clear, I refer to protections in law and not some of the programmes developed to address discrimination under the EDI banner.

Do you believe that Ayn Rand’s utopian development has been achieved and if all is now left without law protection racism will be a thing of the past?

And yet, because of racism, anti-discrimination laws and policies are built on safeguarding principles to protect people where ever possible.
