Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

It is exactly like the school playground and the group of mean girls. All laughing and high fiving each other for ostracizing someone else who isn't in the gang.

Nobody has been ostracised. You're just not being agreed with. It's not the same thing.

No it isn't.

I'm wondering about that false accusation to me Hooves

condescending
/kɒndɪˈsɛndɪŋ/

adjective
having or showing an attitude of patronizing superiority.

Crikey, was everybody's girls' school a hotbed of mean girls, cool girls, ostracisation and gangs??

Mine wasn't

Well, Hooves is, but that appears to be the default for them

Who is"them"? Anyone who is in some kind of conflict or disagreement with you? This is the type of nasty, bitchy behaviour I referred to earlier - as commonly found in all female spaces such as schools.

I thought the 'them' in the first sentence is Hooves & its a singular gender neutral 'them'.

Yes, we mustn't be amused by people being pompous and ridiculous. As we're women, we should definitely be nicer to people like that than we feel, we must never find tantrums funny, and don't ever be 'bitches' or swear.

This just sums it up doesn't it?

Didn't someone write "beasts" instead of breasts? Something to do with the Daily Mail I think.

*That is exactly what happens on here. Exactly. And yet they will deny it until their very last breath8

Get out and enjoy the sun.......life is too short. This is one of the worst threads in recent days.....there are others, though.....which are far more worthwhile and less unpleasant.

Kittens, What was the other thing about breasts? Was it aggressive breasts?

Jolly hockey sticks.

We'll all stop being friends in your absence. Wouldn't want a general feminist discussion to be turned into a personal disgruntlement flounce.

Just, being pompous, complaining that women who swear are angry, making sweeping generalisations about how nasty and bitchy all female spaces are - on a feminist board, is, I hate to break this to you, going to be met with disagreement.

The fact that it was fairly benign and mild might not have been the reaction you were seeking tho.

"Giggles aggressively" needs to be a hashtag or something. Those nasty women with their giggling and their being friends with each other! They'll be cuddling next (in an aggressive manner of course).

The 'girl gangs' on mumsnet are so transparent, and always have been. It is one of the things that can make the forum so unpleasant, at times. The same predictable few, in the main. Ah well! I'll Leave you to it. The sun is shining, and I'm going out to throw some netballs in the garden.

Definitely nuanced feminism, that.

I'm fucking way articulate, me.

To be fair Mumsnet as a whole must be a bit of a shock to anyone who's not used to swearing

i'm perfectly used to hearing swearing ..but find it a rather inarticulate and crude way to express one's thoughts, generally.

Rather a generalisation about Glasgow..But hey, while we are wildly making negative generalisations about whole groups and populations...Why not?

This is the type of nasty, bitchy behaviour I referred to earlier - as commonly found in all female spaces such as schools.

Oh dear.

OK, "giggling is aggressive" may be officially the funniest thing anyone has ever said on FWR. Maybe we can get this thread moved to Classics.

To be fair Mumsnet as a whole must be a bit of a shock to anyone who's not used to swearing. Don't ever visit Glasgow, Just, you'll feel like the whole city is in a rage and it will be very upsetting.

(I love the place, but hey, I'm a sweary bastard too so I fit right in.)

I mean it not like it's commonplace, for women/feminists, to describe men pushing in front of them in a queue as male entitlement.

I mean it's right up there with space domination, man spreading, and talking over you in meetings. 🤣

It's quite hard to be angry when you're giggling but I suppose I could try if it's really important to people

I'd suggest the "giggling" is itself a sign of aggression....Why would you find someone being upset funny? You wouldn't: unless you held them in contempt.

We swear here all the fucking time. Doesn't mean we're angry.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

It's the swearing you're reading as angry? Fucking hell.

What, group dynamics? Nope, I'm sure we're all well aware of them.

Still waiting to hear about the new, improved, nuance feminism that repeatedly calls other women angry, and accuses them of being bitches for insisting that part of feminism is trying to analyse male pattern behaviour.

And as for women gathering together? My god. The very idea...

I for one, hope my last breath doesn't happen on this thread.
