TERFblocker inciting TAs to 'go after the advertisers'

AngryAttackKittens - what do you need to know? StatisticallyChallenged is the poster to look for too.

Also intetested in the bra thread!

Also if anyone wants to point me to a helpful thread about the Polish bras...

Not even Maria Miller has spoken up. They've started gently, on the kids and safeguarding issue, to establish the open debate precedent.

Surely va's comments would have been Pre modded. There's been no subsequent slap down, so they must have penny approval.

Ha ha TheCraic. Someone should tell Daniel Muscatto.......

Amount bought by TRAs - tiddly squat.

Discounting of course the few hundred pairs of high heels, lippy, padded bras, sanitary towels for "periods" by the more enthusiastic TRAs, the odd tutu and packets of glitter etc.

To be fair, they also buy a lot of razors.

Unless Mumsnet has a lot of advertisers who sell very large high heels or those breast forms that crossdressers wear I really don't think this is going to work out the way they're hoping. At least not unless they promise to really commit to a diet comprised mostly of fish fingers.

We have the 3650e 18 Litre model and we wouldn’t be without it. We have tried a few other brands which weren’t up to much but this has taken out cellar from a damp hole to a useable storage space.

This is the one we have www.ebac.com/dehumidifiers/3650e-18-litre-white-dehumidifier-di818wg-gb

Yes, I was wondering whether Victoria Atkins' comments are partly due to that conversation.

Hopefully Victoria Atkins is at least in a position to receive briefings from a wider rage of sources.
I think that the nature of the department been 'Women & Equalities' the fact that there is a designated Minister for Women is important.

I would hope that other Minsters though are included where for example issues relate to Eduacation, Health, Children etc.
Its important that some of the issues are dealt with by the appropriate departments where there will be input from specialist advisers.

OMG, advertisers only need to take one quick look at that Hailey Heartless twitter account (and most of the accounts of trans activists) to see what they are dealing with. Ouch, my eyes.
Support women talking freely about protecting children, or support sexual sadists who want to bully advertisers? Ummmm, touch choice. Adblocker removed, and will fully support MN.

@MrsTerryPratchett I have switched adblocker off Mumsnet. Just FYI.

I don't need to buy anything child or family related and I don't fit in Boden clothing etc, but still - @MNHQ I'm happy to disable my adblocker to stand with this cause too.

Yes I'm the spender in our house. My account is the one that empties and my credit card is the default, while my DH is the saver. My money, my choice. Also if I tell my children and husband to boycott, they roll their eyes but they do. Even top shop.

I also buy the stuff for our family of 4 including cars, holidays, down to jam and cereals and labels for the school uniform.

I am very grateful to mumsnet for allowing these conversations I dread to think the shit they are getting.

Yes, I was wondering whether Victoria Atkins' comments are partly due to that conversation.

I was thinking about that the other day. I know Justine came back onto the thread to say that the meeting had a pre-established agenda so the many concerns that posters had collated would not have been discussed at the time. I was wondering what happened with the questions on the two threads.
The impression at the time was that Justine encouraged people to ask questions so they are important threads.

I also wonder if these might better be raised with Victoria Atkins MP who is specifically the minister for women as well as Nadhim Zahawi MP where the concerns are related to child protection given his ministerial responsibilities

Yes, their meeting

Are you wondering about Justine Roberts and Penny Mordant?

I would imagine most of us at some point buy things either suggested by posters or advertised on here . I have bought all sorts of things, skincare, house things from John Lewis, stuff for my hair, Boden swimsuit, even my Polish bras which have transformed my bra life, were suggested by a mumsnetter .
Calling mumsnet a hate group. Unhinged !

Surely advertisers are wise to this. A year or so ago one of my more "woke" Fb friends was pushing some sort of advertiser boycott of the Daily Mail. Advertisers want to sell stuff, and will primarily interested in reaching potential consumers.

If they feel that the vehicle for their message has become tainted and that an association with that vehicle is not in their interests, like with Breitbart, or as happened when department stores dropped the Ivanka Trump lable, they will withdraw. But presumably Birds Eye are not so blinkered by PC that they cant understand why mums might be concerned the child protection issues around gender self-id and why mums want a forum for discussion.

Actually I think that MN's super stardom over protecting the right to free speech has done their image no harm at all and that their advertisers stand to benefit from association with the site.

They keep sending people here by talking about MN...
Nobody would know about the feminist board otherwise.

On Terfblocker's twitter:

"They always ruin everything"

Yes - correct. We're ruining the influence of misogynistic and abusive males like David Challenor influencing political policy on safeguarding women and children.

Sorry about that.

I've just taken my Ad-blocker off for Mumsnet too on our main PC where I access MN most.

Whenever I am going to buy anything or make a decision,I say 'I'll check mumsnet' because I know it attracts the most amount of people like me. I have clicked through on advertising links - on my phone - on many an occasion. I tend not to do that on any other site.

I wonder what went on between Justin and Penny
