Apparently the Alt-Right and 4-Chan are using MN.
I think it's just one person who controls their tweets. I really hope that the top Lib Dems know what's being said.

I don't know what the haircut is either. And I've been here FOREVER

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 02/04/2018 21:52

Again, the whole argument is that women (the stupid kind) are being radicalised by other women (the evil bad bad kind) on a site for women (all of whom should be the submissive kind)

And they should also be told not to talk about those biological thingybobs. Cos, transphobic and all that. Got it?

PencilsInSpace · 02/04/2018 21:51

I did the MN haircut once and it was a fucking disaster. Do not attempt if you have a low hairline.

Thank goodness #manfriday came to the rescue and showed me how I too could have a simple smart cut for £6 at my local barbers Smile

They've got it all wrong on the radicalisation thing. Everybody knows this is MN home grown radicalisation and that our secret cabal enlisted Venice to spread the word to poor innocent ladies like Sheila Jeffreys and Julia Long. And that all this happened last week.

No wonder they can't keep up!

Fucking nobbers.

What's the Mumsnet haircut?

TheRagingGirl · 02/04/2018 21:50

Goodness me! Women daring to talk to each other. How very dare they! Thanks for posting this OP.

Solidarity!

Not content with alienating the entire youth vote the Lib Dems are now apparently hoping to piss off whatever proportion of the population is female with children

HairyBallTheorem · 02/04/2018 21:48

Waves to the LibDem twitter feed plonkers who are no doubt stalking this thread too!

I want trans people to have human rights - the right to pursue employment, housing etc. free from harassment and discrimination, the right to live their lives free from the threat of violence, the right to be fully included in the political process.

But transwomen don't get to have women's rights, because the clue is in the name - women's rights. The stuff we need (maternity provision, contraception, abortion, single sex spaces to escape from male violence) in virtue of our biology. Transwomen don't get women's rights because they are biologically male.

I have voted Lib Dem in the past. I will not vote for them again. I do not believe I have been radicalised on MN. I grew up believing sex was biology and gender was the word for sex-based social norms, and feminism challenged those norms.
But then, I am not a cis-woman, I am simply a woman.

concretesieve · 02/04/2018 21:45

I wanna badge!! 'Snot fair!! I signed the petition and everything!! Grin

Seriously - I've just remembered I've got a nice replica WSPU badge - must hunt it out.

teaandtoast · 02/04/2018 21:45

Cis women. Angry

thebewilderness · 02/04/2018 21:43

Did they really think no one's mum would object to stripping women of their right to privacy and dignity, and to transitioning away the Gays and Lesbians? Srsly?

DullAndOld · 02/04/2018 21:43

Anyway the LibDems are a bunch of idiots.

when I was working for them, telephone fundraising, we were told that with any controversial topic that we might get asked about on the phone, such as abortion, cannabis , whatever, we had to say that there was no official party line and it was up to individual MPs to make up their own minds,

so they can fuck off with this, why is this different?

PerspicaciaTick · 02/04/2018 21:40

I did the MN hair cut last week - I am a lost cause.

Seriously, I've voted Lib-Dem for years (when they can be arsed to put up a candidate against our local selection of right-wing independents and tories). Not any more.

BlackeyedSusan · 02/04/2018 21:39

"Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?"

Oh, not that kind of troll then.

Dear Lib Dems. I do not want to share my space with male bodied people. People with XY chromosomes are men. Nothing radical about that, just basic biology. And another vote lost.

PencilsInSpace · 02/04/2018 21:37

LGBT+ Lib Dems account appears to be controlled by a bunch of nobs (4 nobs I believe).

They've gone a bit rogue over recent days and have been shockingly rude and dismissive towards women, including one woman who simply and politely requested details of how to make a complaint (here for anyone else has who's been affected).

Trawling MN for posts that are completely unrelated to lib dems or their rogue LGBT+ group looks a bit desperate and calls into question what they are for or why LibDems should continue to fund them.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe the libdems are actually that irrelevant now. It's a shame because I believe in proper old school liberalism and democratic values and I have voted for them in the past.

The middle ground in politics is a yawning chasm right now. We desperately need an alternative. They don't even need to be that special, just relatively sane with a side order of human decency.

Have you got Saltwater sandals? Do you try (and fail) to stretch a chicken over 27 meals? Have you tried the Mumsnet haircut? Do you have an opinion on parking? Were you baffled by that pink M&S dress?

YOU TOO COULD BE RADICALISED!

OvaHere · 02/04/2018 21:36

Radicalised and recruited into biology!

A reminder of the petition they consider is so 'radical'. A request for a consultation on protecting the safety of women and girls.

MumOfThrMoos · 02/04/2018 21:34

They're mad!

The sexism is extraordinary, isn't? Like the women of Mumsnet are a homogenous, naive group who are being duped into being gender critical by the alt-right! If that isn't a half baked attempt at gaslighting, I don't know what is!

It's probably best to ignore them - i don't think the people running the LD LGBT. Twitter feed are very bright, to be honest. They probably haven't had this much attention ever.

Goodness me!

Are they honestly going with the angle that Mumsnet is an alt-right shill?

AsAProfessionalFekko · 02/04/2018 21:33

Radicalised on Mumsnet? 😳🤔🤣🙄

WhoWants2Know · 02/04/2018 21:32

How can I tell if I've been radicalised? Is there a badge or secret handshake?

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 02/04/2018 21:31

Just imagine mothers having views and opinions of their own! I for one had my opinion box removed when I saw two line spring up on the pregnancy test.

LineysInTheSand · 02/04/2018 21:30

God that's utterly pathetic and incredibly patronising and sexist.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 02/04/2018 21:27

Blimey, where is the professionalism? This is the kind of stuff 12 year olds would do when I was at school.

ijustwannadance · 02/04/2018 21:25

Radicalise and recruit terfs. Grin
