Woman's Hour 20 October: Has Mumnset become too politicised?

I assume this is about the the audacity to criticise the gender identity ideology. I wonder if they'll have a proper discussion. Remember that Jenni Murray only felt free to talk only as she was walking out of the door.

I am sure that BBC Big-Brother is listening in and watching out for wrongthink.

Oh without a doubt.

I wonder if mn will get a load of extra people joining after that awesome advert?!

That was v good but how dare JG call Filia etc transphobic. FFS.THAT is the difference between MN and WH!

I think that might have been Woman's Hour sending out the bat signal to women from behind their BBC gag, to get themselves over to MN and find out about the shitshow unfolding behind the rainbow smokescreen.

What a change it is to hear someone speak positively about Mumsnet on the BBC. Was Jane Garvey's lack of criticism sympathy or just making sure the discussion swerved around the more controversial issues?

J makes the qualifier but she always makes it clear she's saying "some people think..." I can tell she doesn't think that by the ways she says it

Fair enough. I am sure that BBC Big-Brother is listening in and watching out for wrongthink.

That was a surprisingly good piece

This is a great section. Absolutely details what I see on MN.

I liked that she mentioned the Fawcett and Creasy Bill.

We research and present arguments to each other. 👍👍👍

Sarah Pedersen is fab here. Really covering the issues in a very clear way.

InflamatoryWrit · 20/10/2020 10:34

Oh the T word...

YetAnotherSpartacus · 20/10/2020 10:34

And the qualifier made (by Garvey).

We don't like to be told no debate!

megletthesecond · 20/10/2020 10:33

She's doing a good job I think.

NeurotrashWarrior · 20/10/2020 10:33

Re the GRA, JG said that WH being BBC can't take a side and so cant discuss things in the same way as mn.

We are the "The resurgent women's rights movement!" Says the prof!

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2020 10:32

Good section thanks to author

Helmetbymidnight · 20/10/2020 10:32

shes talking about how mn has been a space to discuss concerns with the gra...

Yay, Jane G. I will miss her. I did think this might be 99% crappy clickbait trailing by some woke or provocative bugger at the Beeb.

I knew about this book, but I think I'll definitely be getting it now.

AbsintheFriends · 20/10/2020 10:31

Oooh - the elephant has been mentioned!

NeurotrashWarrior · 20/10/2020 10:31

Whoop!

Shout out to fwr by the Prof!

I take umbridge with the asssertion that there's no gatekeeping though.

Oooh JG can't say certain things on MN Jane has just said...

YetAnotherSpartacus · 20/10/2020 10:31

She's 'one of us' :)

Helmetbymidnight · 20/10/2020 10:31

its great so far!

AbsintheFriends · 20/10/2020 10:29

Women on MN 'talk about the same sort of subjects that are on woman's hour...'

WITH ONE GLARING EXCEPTION.

NeurotrashWarrior · 20/10/2020 10:23

I've read a good article about the book;i think it should discuss anything but nappies!

Mn helped me recognise the signs of abuse that by friend experienced and what she should do.
