I am really shocked.

o think the feminist perspective on chicken keeping is interesting considering the scott report of 1999.

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:39

No. I didn't. Quote, please?

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:38

dp you know more than i do though>? or are you more willing to post about it. pleas refrain from catagorising me. you know nothing my firend . nothing

Uppity · 08/10/2011 21:37

Custardo if you feel that twisluts (whatever they are - I've never clicked because I got the feeling that it wouldn't interest me) is offensive, then you go and tackle it.

But I personally think that you would be wasting your time, because you really ought to be discussing much more important issues like the feminist perspective on chicken keeping.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:37

you called her a rape apologist.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:36

no its not,l klook if you dont want to pull your fellow mumnsetters on the very issue you are publicising companies with anti women t-shirts..fine. i have my ansswer to the mn feminists right there.

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:35

Please find examples of where I've verbally abused Rhubarb. Because I can't see it.

And "our" ordeals may be presumptious, but she spoke out of term to several members who admitted their ordeals in a very "I know more than you" manner. Would you accept someone talking to you in such a way, Custardo?

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:35

please refer to the terms of reference where it says what i can and canot post on this thread,

it has been posted on that thread many times

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:33

Custardo, why is it our job to police the threads, and make sure anti-women terminology isn't used? That is MNHQ's job...

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:33

'our' ordeals. assumes more than you know. be careful. and yes frothy - you should apologise and im not the only person to say so.

EllaDee · 08/10/2011 21:33

I think it's better to take up stuff like that on the thread, custardo. This thread is about other things. There's also an activism section if that would work for you?

AlysWorld · 08/10/2011 21:33

And if you search this very board for 'slutwalk', you'll find some lengthy discussion about that very issue.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:31

sgm no they dont listen. even as a non feminist i find women being referred to as sluts offensive. have reported. thought feminists would be interested~?

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 08/10/2011 21:31

I don't think it's ever been ok to call another woman a "slut", custardo. And I've never seen it coming from one of the Mumsnet Feminists.

I'm also struggling to see your points re: the anti-women vernacular. I'm completely lost as to what you mean.

And no. I don't think Rhubarb deserves an apology. She spoke to and about rape victims in a quite shocking manner, assuming that she knew more about our ordeals than we do. She also accused me of verbally abusing her, something which, after re-reading the thread and discussing it with another person, I can't see. For her to accuse anyone of bullying is unacceptable, especially in the vicious manner in which I felt she spoke to several members over the past few days; myself included.

Sorry Custardo - I can't actually understand what you are on about. I don't know what twi sluts are or how they are relevant to MN. I just object to being told because I am a feminist I should be tackling the problem. If you have a problem with twi sluts then report it.
And who said it was OK to call a woman a slut?

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:23

ive always wondered this tbh why its ok to call another woman a slut - is that ok~?

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:21

your another one or your suggesting i'm the one who doesnt know what they are. if its you - i fail to see how you can comment tbh?

just wondering if there is regular anti woman use of this term - why it is not tackled? not stirring to add tis to the discussion, please don't belittle my argument by presuming it is. there is this vernacular here. it has been picked up on on this threat witht he use of the word twunts. i think that an organised goup of people agaimst this ort of venacular would be useful. why is that a bad thing>

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:18

crikey!

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 08/10/2011 21:17

WTF? Since when do we have to search and police MN for "anti woman venacular"? Isn't that MNHQ's job? If you don't like it Custardo, report it. Isn't that what we get told enough?

Another one who hasn't a clue what twi sluts or snake wankers are btw.

HoneyMomster · 08/10/2011 21:13

Oh dry up Custardo you're just stirring now. Nice. Useful. In the spirit of openness and debate. Hmm poor ol misunderstood Custy who only ever wanted to discuss the issues in a reasonable manner. Not to stir or dictate what we should be discussing, or going on about big meanies.

How's that for tackling a regular MNer?

That's that, I won't be responding so say what you like.

Tortington · 08/10/2011 21:08

sorted? really did you?

anyay nol i', talking about the feminists not ackling the anti woman venacular on mumsnet. if you aren;t faminliar with twi sluts or snake wankers then maybe you should tackle this

EllaDee · 08/10/2011 20:58

I have no clue what you are on about. The only person I see using the word 'slut' here is you. No, I don't like it. Does that have anything to do with the thread you've resurrected after I thought it'd all been sorted?
