Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?

That person hates MN and is all over the twitter reporting account.

Someone's getting upset on the good doctor's behalf on twitter.

We're talking about the doctor's own tweets - surely what a doctor tweets - esp about 12 yr old brides - is up for debate on Mumsnet.

They really do think we should only be allowed to discuss prams and nappies, don't they?

He is so into women learning their lesson, I actually feel a bit concerned for his husband but maybe he does just reserve it for insubordinate women. I wonder if it was a phrase often repeated to him by his mother...

Haha! That parody is spot-on!

That's brilliant Sunset

I'm not keen on this chap getting the oxygen of oxygen, let alone the oxygen of publicity

I would ordinarily agree but, given that he's an NHS doctor, this is a matter of public interest. We place a lot of trust in our medical professionals, often when we're at our most vulnerable, and I would certainly not want to entrust this man with my personal healthcare, or that of my daughter. I'm horrified by his cavalier public display of misogyny, his complete lack of self-awareness, respect and professionalism, and I think it's wholly appropriate that we talk about this so that women who may be assigned to this medical professional are able to make informed choices.

Hmm, his supervisor needs to have a word with him.

This guy is a certified 'nice guy' (aka not actually that nice but insists on telling everyone how great he is).

Those men are some of the worst.

Were I on Twitter, I'd like to ask him his views on this ...

I’m amused by his claims of general expertise on so many subjects.

Much like maid above I spent years teaching medical students (biochem/genetics/development/oncology) at universities. Some are wonderful, humane young people who will make a positive difference to the world. Some are not.
Interestingly enough medics tend not to be the truly brilliant students - it’s a subject that suits generalists who have a combination of a fair degree of intelligence with good storage and recall. The really good medics combine that with an innate sense of how people tick and what I suppose translates eventually to ‘bedside manner.’
There were always I’d say 10-15% who you could see the god complex in and those were never the ones you saw intelligence and social ability combined in.

I never particularly enjoyed teaching medics due to that 15%. It always surprises me that medics are seen as the cream of the crop as well - they really aren’t, as a cohort. I suspect this chap would have been one of that insufferable 15%.

He used that phrasing to Posie deliberately. He's loving winding people up and getting the attention. He doesn't care what women think so he doesn't care what he looks like.

He will when people start complaining about him to the GMC. Let’s hope there are quite a few women on its committee dealing with complaints.

Spontaneous I concur. They are no match.

I can't believe that he hasn't noticed how bad it looks for him to be constantly telling women to learn lessons and be quiet.

LastGirlOnTheLeft We'll have the last laugh though.

He hasn't made it into MN for his achievements but for being a nasty prat! 🤔 He's PROUD of that???

Sandydrawsbadly Love your drawing, so apt. He now thinks that due to making it onto MN he's made it big. Well, we all know, the higher you are the harder you fall.

He is a repellant worm! The devil looks after his own.

He has re-tweeted a few anti-MN posts now
I wonder if he reads The New Statesman?

Glosswitch's recent article there is worth a read and pertinent to talk of 'covens' etc.
(extract)
"It’s a problem that’s never gone away, though the context has changed. Anxiety over women’s speech – fuelling violent backlash in the form of witch trials and scold’s bridles – arose at a time when, to quote Marina Warner, “women dominated the webs of information and power; the neighbourhood, the village, the well, the washing place, the shops, the stalls, the street were their arena of influence, not only the household”

He loves to tell women to "learn" from the experience of being villified, threatened with violence, subjected to malicious reports to the police, doesn't he?

Now let me think for a moment what sort of man likes to "school" women in that way?

Oh yes, a great big fat raving misogynist, that's the sort of man I'm thinking of.
