This one picks up in particular the huge rise in women identifying as men, and the increasing inability of anyone being able to question it:

I’m a great fan of Janice Turner and often tweet a thank you for the articles she’s written.

Just read this whole thread and will investigate links later. It’s just so damned depressing ... I’ve tried to talk about this to my DD17 but she doesn’t get the fact that there is a very dark agenda at play. I became exhausted trying to explain but will have to revisit the subject, it’s too important to ignore.

Room at Shady Pines, I’ll make some brownies and cake to smuggle in. Grin

Remember the days at halls of residence and colleges where you used to sleep with the regulation plastic bag lined metal room bin near your bed, just in case?

Ah I left this for a while because I was starting to get upset about it all (again) and I come back to find we are all distilling our own gin.

Ssssh!

Sorry, should have made it clear I was quoting Datun up there. But the point is, Janice knows!

If Janice stumbles on her MN fan club and is a bit surprised by the way this thread has developed, I'd like to invite her to join us in Shady Pines.

I dont think anyone will complain, its a Janice Turner fanclub thread.

ErrolTheDragon · 30/09/2017 10:36

Janice's times column today is about Hef and bunnies, touching on the 'sex positive' thing. I should be able link if anyone is interested but not sure this is the right thread.

It's mainly been middle-class, white men who have told me to 'check my privilege' as a woman

Have you ever tried asking them for lessons since clearly they ought to be experts...

I've just started a new job this week and I had a presentation on diversity and inclusion delivered by a middle aged straight white guy

It's mainly been middle-class, white men who have told me to 'check my privilege' as a woman. I suspect they LOVE doing it and love the pretence that it is all about other marginalised groups.

Fermentation! We will indeed have healthy guts if this includes Kombucha.

Ereshkigal · 30/09/2017 09:31

who the fuck do they think they are to decide who is "more discriminated against"? - oh yeah, that's right, they're men and so they think they rule the fucking world. Because they do. They're just used to mattering, to having their opinions matter. Because they always have done.

Progressive and radical, my arse.

This. Exactly.

Datun · 30/09/2017 09:29

I can ferment anything.

I'm censoring this thread, any hint of a double entendre, and I shall whip it out.

So is this resthome strictly for the elderly or can I self identify as such and come now? Please.

SophoclesTheFox · 30/09/2017 09:17

I know how to make beer. Can I come?

Let's just say my poker face wasn't up to that challenge. And that he and I aren't going to be friends Confused

TheWeeWitch · 30/09/2017 09:16

Ah, you lot! Brilliant. I’m in.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 30/09/2017 09:08

I'm not signing up until someone assures me they can make an excellent single malt.

I'm assuming that brewing real ale will be a doddle?

BMacklin · 30/09/2017 09:04

Ah I left this for a while because I was starting to get upset about it all (again) and I come back to find we are all distilling our own gin. Excellent!

Igneococcus · 30/09/2017 07:59

I was ONLY playing scrabble, yeast = 10 points, strain = 12, honest.

Datun · 30/09/2017 07:51

Igneococcus has just been carted off to the medical unit for saying yeast strain.
