Please do not not respond to that thread. TRAs get off on it.

If they do not want a debate then no discussion is necessary.

Peace and love xx

yes, also Flowers to cankles and SchrodingersFrilledLizard. It sounds like things got pretty heated round here yesterday. I was busy 'living as a woman' (a.k.a looking after the kids while DH did one of his many time consuming activities) so missed it all.

I see the thread has reappeared now so about to settle down for a good read in a bit

SchrodingersFrilledLizard · 05/02/2018 20:13

Thank you, CertainHalfdDesertedStreets. That is very kind of you.

ReluctantCamper · 05/02/2018 20:06

Flowers Elendon , just a lurker but I came back to this thread today hoping for an update as you sounded so distressed and you're normally so measured. Hope things are OK for you.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 05/02/2018 09:08

For you all Flowers
It has indeed been quite a distressing few days.

hipsterfun · 05/02/2018 09:02

Elendon, I understand and I’m sure everyone else does, too. Hope you’re ok Flowers

Cankles and schroedingers also.

But yeah, it's been a shitty week.

CakeBrewFlowers to all.

Oh and the pub is >>>>>>>>>>> Wine

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 20:44

I think Elendon is feeling fucked off, as we all are, and misinterpreted Cankles.

Crossed wires.

HairyBallTheorem · 04/02/2018 20:44

Elendon I think I do get what you mean about not providing wank fodder for an obvious troll who was getting his jollies from winding up women.

But the thing is I actually think the #nodebate thing is so dangerous that I don't care how many boxes of kleenex the pervy fucker is getting through, we can't let this go unchallenged. Ever. Even at the expense of becoming complicit in some perve's wankathon.

But Flowers nonetheless. It has been a tough few weeks - the Rose McGowan incident, last week's Observer article saying "here, let's campaign to put a bloke who likes breaking into houses so he can wank into teenage girls' knickers,that would be the progressive thing to do, amirite?", WA (WA, ffs!) deciding that pandering to men's genderfeelz is more important than supporting women in absolutely desperate straits due to male violence. It just feels like the crap has ramped up to a whole new level of crazy. It is taking a toll on everyone I think, and I totally see why you want to draw a line in the sand and say "no pandering to these abusive men." For you, that line in the sand is letting them wind women up at will, for me that line in the sand is taking part in the #nodebate crap.

athingthateveryoneneeds · 04/02/2018 20:38

I'm confused.

OvaHere · 04/02/2018 20:38

I'm also a bit confused.

Elendon I hope you are okay. You've always struck me as a measured poster. I know today has been a rough peak trans kind of day Flowers

Please don't anyone go back to lurking we have plenty of threads to go round on here.

SchrodingersFrilledLizard · 04/02/2018 20:34

This thread is weirder than the other one.

'Tis indeed.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 04/02/2018 20:29

No cankles - we got it! I got it Grin

Don't re lurk!

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 04/02/2018 20:28

Eh?

This thread is weirder than the other one.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 04/02/2018 20:26

Aaw cankles don't lurk. We need you.
It's not usually as Twin Peaks as this thread.

Canklesofglitter · 04/02/2018 20:24

Sorry if I have caused any confusion. I'm not sure what I have mistakenly said.

I just thought the other post had some stellar examples of how bad things are. I wanted it to stay because it contained all of the nonsense in one place.

It wasn't meant to be contentious.

I am bewildered and will go back to lurking.

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 20:16

Elendon, I think I read Cankles post quite differently, but maybe I got it wrong...

SchrodingersFrilledLizard · 04/02/2018 20:11

You are not sorry and don't even think of messaging me.

Ass and hole come to mind.

Wow.

hipsterfun · 04/02/2018 20:10

I was only halfway through and loving it - it was like a revision course Grin

I hope so.

Last thread was goady.

This thread explains why.

Thread about a thread with a load of goadiness.

Stop.

This.

Now.

Thanks, Hairyball.

Apologies, Elendon, if my posts have caused you to want to delete your thread.

Who the fuck talks like this?

'evolution of misogyny'

Piss off!

Lonelystarbuckslover · 04/02/2018 19:53

I had half a mind to report it because I felt it was a GF. Then I thought, let them show themselves. This will go poof too I expect.

HairyBallTheorem · 04/02/2018 19:53

That was the one, Schrodingers. As I pointed out on the thread, you couldn't make a more misogynistic point if you tried: "women, your only role in the world is to be our fucktoys, and if you don't meet our exacting standards as fucktoys, you are nothing, and thus not even allowed an opinion on what it is to be a woman."
