This is what Helen from Mermaids writes about MN feminist posters

@ALunerExplorer Thanks for the info re the r-wing group that GC feminists are supposedly connected to. TRAs seem keen to paint us as (extreme) right wingers when in fact most GC feminists are lefties. It's a tactic to stop people listening to GC arguments.

Which is it?

Are mumsnet mums worthless because they are stay at home mums?

Or are mumsnet mums worthless because they are over educated?

Or shall we spot the flaw in that argument by realising the common denominator is the word mum.

I'm sure the millions of them on this site are going to be delighted with that.

I cast all my pearls before some swine years back, so I have none left to clutch. I can always mime clutching some if that helps Helen mitigate her rage episodes.

I'm sure you are much better than that post you made. You need to fulfil your full potential.

Was that sarcasm? It's so difficult to tell, what with Poe's Law and all.

What a silly, blinkered person Helen is. I'm always on MN because er I do a lot of travelling on public transport and have a smartphone, a laptop and constant access to the internet on wifi or 4G, even underground. I've got kids, have been on MN for years and work fulltime and always have, you silly, silly billy Helen.

Thanks, Datun.

Are they implying that the individual who posted the tweet could do that?
They say that they can expose our sexual fantasies. Do tell me when you find out, I’d love to know.

In other words, Women, (you know, the boring, actual biological child breeding, child rearing, mum type ones) Know Your Limits!

You bunch of over educated bluestockings are getting Mermaids down.

How odd, Sally. You can't have read much. Over in Education there are plenty of academics working in university admissions for example. When we talk about careers, a fair number of our posters appear to be lawyers and IT professionals and doctors and management consultants. Planning threads attract planning professionals. Politics threads are an invaluable escape from the normal echo chambers; I know politicians who read them for insight.

The people I know in 'real life' who post here, and with whom I often discuss issues raised, have degrees, post-grad degrees and responsible careers. One of them, who achieved brief notoriety recently on here for some personal posting, runs a world respected institution.

I thought the implication is that they could hack anything, like web accounts, web history, emails, microphones, phones etc?

The only pearl necklace I’ve ever had came with a facial

Thank you Count , I was about to bring up Hedy Lamar whose work meant that the entire internet works.

I don’t understand the tweet about the chips in the tablets. Is the implication that they were invented by trans women, men or women?

Also my terms are my terms. Either I'm a valid and welcome member of the Labour Party or I am not.

How bored is Helen if she has time to be keeping up with Mumsnet threads? Just can't resist when she spots any reference to herself I guess.

FWIW not a SAHM. Senior level, full time, very demanding role, DH likewise. Juggling that with kids and all that goes with it. No time to be bored quite frankly.

A disappointed ExLabour member (who is clinging on to the hope that sanity might prevail).

I've just rejoined to ensure that sanity will prevail. I've decided I don't give up that easily. I never have done and I won't now.

Also the TIM who says on that thread
"And of course they don't realise we designed and built the chips that live inside their smartphone or tablet.."
Because we have been staying at home raising babies while the brave TIM was doing STEM.

Is he identifying as a man there? Also, those chips would be fuck all use in our mobile phones without Hedy Lamarr's work.

Thank you! Will do!!

Datun

I'm realising more and more that many of the reasoning and beliefs people who think like this hold are cobbled together parroted words and ideas without any true understanding of the terms or historical context or wider social contextual impact. This (education) being a complete case in point.

sallyandherarmy Clutches my (never worn) pearls.

what is fairer place/tt?

I suspect that is fair play for women and transgender trend.

Hi there! Thank you! I think I'm going to like it here.... x

If you think you can shame me into not allying with other women who have different political opinions on other issues, you are very much mistaken

Those were your words in your reply to me Assigned. So like I said, don't take it so personally.

Although if you do decide to go with a policy of ignoring me from now on, it won't be any skin of my nose.
