Online if you want to take it. You translate the drag phrase.
How nice to see that those putting it together didn't think that "fishy" meaning a very feminine drag queen may be offensive....

"I feel very attacked" is the new “you’re a fascist!”.

pachyderm · 04/10/2019 08:04

Mac, you seem very poorly educated and I'm not talking about typos. You don't know the meaning of words you use, you can't formulate any sort of an argument and when challenged resort to "I feel very attacked". I know it sounds like I'm being horribly rude and insulting but it is genuinely worrying how much this arises with younger people, many of them with paper qualifications and letters after their names. I am stunned at how badly educational standards have fallen.

An attempt to turn "bolshy" into a verb, possibly?

Agrona · 04/10/2019 08:02

Perhaps the word was meant to be bluster? Blether? Blather? Bollix? Bolshevik?

(Apologies. I’m just amused by the bolster on Amazon and all the words beginning with b the word might be.)

SophoclesTheFox · 04/10/2019 07:57

Do we bluster on about women’s rights, maybe?

That what I though the meaning might have been, eg, we’re all talk. If it’s that, then I disagree.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 04/10/2019 07:52

Usually I can work around SPAG errors enough to figure out what the person meant to say but I'm drawing a blank in this case.

Agrona · 04/10/2019 07:51

Sorry, Kittens. It looks uncomfortable.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 04/10/2019 07:44

you bolster about women's rights

??!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 04/10/2019 07:42

I'd rather hope that any child of mine would learn to spell the things they're accusing people of.

So we've had bigot, hate,terf from the people who think fishy is an okay term to use.

Sorry. Arghhhh!

I meant “when the people, (or person or human being) who merely offers their alternate opinion accuses those who disagree” etc

Maybe it would be easier to user the word poster or pp.

BeMoreMagdalen · 04/10/2019 07:28

I hope young people would never accept being called a derogatory name just to avoid being also called a bigot. Pretty shitty worldview you have there - accept this horrible word or I'll call you another horrible word. You should feel attacked, you've set up a nasty choice for women there. I hope no kids grow up thinking that is the way the world should be in the name of peace and love.

Agrona · 04/10/2019 07:27

I find it funny that people who merely offer an alternate opinion complain about bigotry when people disagree with the opinion.

Especially when the people accuse those who disagree with them of fostering hate.

Women saying they do not like a term fosters hate? Women are so powerful that not liking something foster hate?

How lovely!

testing987654321 · 04/10/2019 07:24

Gah. *othered

And *effect

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 04/10/2019 07:24

You can just shout her from your room I'm sure.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 04/10/2019 07:23

Mac love don't correct my typing errors and then use the word 'bolster' incorrectly. It makes you look very stupid.

Call your mum.

testing987654321 · 04/10/2019 07:22

Almost as if because my opinion differs from yours it immediately strips me of my femininity, and my womanhood, and seems me to be "other".

When other women disagree with me I don't feel stripped of my femininity or "others". Why does it have this affect on you? Especially as on a talk board I have made no assumption about you, simply responding to your arguments.

Mac1990 · 04/10/2019 07:22

I feel very attacked right now

HandsOffMyRights · 04/10/2019 07:21

Mac, why do you assume all posters have children and use that to scold us, I wonder?

So far we've had 'view a smell' and 'smell a vibe'. Sort yourselves out.

Mac1990 · 04/10/2019 07:17

I haven't once said that women do not have the right to feel offended.

I'm merely offering an alternate opinion.

One that does not foster hate.

I do, however, find it funny that you bolster about women's rights to an opinion yet you push mine away. Almost as if because my opinion differs from yours it immediately strips me of my femininity, and my womanhood, and seems me to be "other".

testing987654321 · 04/10/2019 07:14

There's no room for ... biggotary, or ignorance in the world

Oh the irony.

Spellcheck can help with spelling. HTH.

toriap2 · 04/10/2019 06:58

Um, Mac, you do know the definition of bigot right? And you are actually showing more hate by telling women who are offended by something that they have no right to feel offended. So off you pop love and tell your mum she’s a fish, sure that will end well

SophoclesTheFox · 04/10/2019 06:58

What has objecting to the term “fishy” as being a misogynistic insult to do with “biggotary”, please? I don’t follow the logic.

Mac1990 · 04/10/2019 06:55

This was an enlightening first Mumsnet experience.

Hopefully your children will grown up to be more open minded and accepting of others than you apparently are.

There's no room for hate, biggotary, or ignorance in the world.
