"If you’re a Mum and on mn that often to have time to engage with ‘feminist’ forums, you’re more likely to be a ‘stay at home mum’. These are bored middle-class women putting their privileged Uni-educated thoughts to oppressing a small, vulnerable, oppressed sector of society"

Nice bit of sexism going on there

This is just misogyny isn't it. No surprise then.

Perhaps. But at least we don't get our children castrated.

Hmm. Mumsnet should ask us in their next survey. It gets very annoying when people state opinions as fact. Particularly when the facts are sometimes clearly the opposite!

Ah yes, feminism, that movement well known for being all about being a stay at home housewife and living off your husband's income.

LOL! I doubt she would park her car and walk to the shops where I live.
PS its Sunday, even working women get the odd day off.

There's also a comment about us all being mad cat women from someone else on a discussion.

We we know how very much they're into stereotypes especially sexist homophobic stereotypes too.

From a working mum. With no cats.

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. And is now a lady in STEM

Pity the tech savvy ladee doesn't realise us silly cis wimmen can get around twitter blocks to reveal the sexist shite that they really think

As a ft woman I'd also like to add a loud
BOLLOCKS
and a suggestion she works on argument formation

Fekko · 25/02/2018 12:11

Sahm - nope
Bored - definitely not!
Middle class - not really
Uneducated - 2 degrees, 2 postgrads and a chartered status is enough for you?
Woman - guilty as charged

Silly creature. She definitely needs to get out more.

And i work full time so if they think only stay at home mums think this, they’re wrong. You have a lot more people to convince thanks

Notmyrealname85 · 25/02/2018 12:08

Nice generalisation about stay at home mums Angry

C0untDucku1a · 25/02/2018 12:07

Also not a stay at home
Mum. In fact work full time
Hours.

RowenaDedalus · 25/02/2018 12:07

Wow.

Geronimoleapinglizards · 25/02/2018 12:07

What a mean, offensive thing to say.

From someone who isn't a stay at home mum.
