And by ‘peaked’ I mean my usually mild mannered don’t rock the boat just be kind oh mums going on about that trans stuff again ABSOLUTELY LOST HIS SHIT at 17yo DD telling him ‘super straight’ is transphobic as fuck.

I’ve never heard him swear as much as he did at DD telling him ladycock is a thing. He’s not remotely homophobic but being told he should theoretically accept ladycock into his sex life was a tipping point.

He gets it now.

Wait a minute thats not strictly true…they aren’t allowed to swear in front of me ….wherever we are

Ive no idea what they do when im not around…but im very confident they all swear like troopers when i can’t hear then

Good for him I'm sick of woke teenagers
You can't say anything any more they are the very definition of humble pious!

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 27/08/2021 09:02

I can’t see where he was shouting and she literally started it with the swearing

Children are not allowed to swear in my house

@OperationDessertStorm

Good for him standing up for his sexuality and everyone elses! It is protected in law. Much better that dd learns this now from her parents.

I’m willing to bet if a gay dad had been goaded into shouting about his sexuality there would be no complaints on here.

Nobody has an issue with the point he is making. Some posters have an issue with a grown man shouting and swearing at a teenage girl. Whether he is gay or straight has nothing to do with that whatsoever.

@Happymum12345

I think when normally calm, balanced and well mannered people react like your dh did, it has more impact than usual shouty, argumentative people.
Exactly. I'm sure this had some impact.

OP, glad your DH gets it now.

@TooWicked

Telling someone that not accepting someone else’s penis into their sex life is transphobic, is rapey as fuck.

I’m not surprised he was swearing.

Yeah me too! And I'd be having a pretty serious conversation with her about boundaries and safe sex, not just physically but emotional too. She is ripe for coercion and abuse, very concerning.
TheWeeDonkey · 27/08/2021 08:43

I remember once mentioning "ladycock" to a colleague of mine. It was a pretty easygoing office where we could discuss a lot of things, but I think that was the point where she thought I'd truly lost my mind 😂

Superstraight was a fantastic phenomenon because it triggered trans activists to go on the attack and for once they had to make their position explicit: gender identity has to override consent in certain contexts or the person withholding their consent is transphobic.

This made a large number of people sit up and pay attention for the first time.

Ladydick peaked my DH too, around the time that superstraight was trending all over the place.

AlfonsoTheMango · 27/08/2021 08:27

Good for your DH. Only you know whether or not your daughter will pay attention, though.

DillonPanthersTexas · 27/08/2021 08:24

Man overbears teenager's argument by shouting and swearing at her rather than using reason. And that's peaking?

Not ideal but good luck finding a parent who has not been utterly exasperated at the self-righteousness of a teenager who think they are wise beyond their years because after spending time in their peer groups echo chamber.

Karwomannghia · 27/08/2021 08:12

Having a sweary argument with a teenager is not ok, I bet she was terrified.

IWantT0BreakFree · 27/08/2021 08:11

Because no parent has ever lost it at a nearly adult child being a dick before hmm

Right but they (or their partners as in this case) don’t tend to come on MN expecting people to congratulate them on it.

Yeah - weird thread.

I doubt reason would have had any effect - 17 year olds with a bee in their bonnet are not reasonable
nauticant · 27/08/2021 08:06

What if the "argument" is that someone's sexual orientation has to be subject to another person's gender identity, thus meaning that lesbians are not permitted make a blanket refusal to have sex with people having a penis?

Yeah this.

I’m glad he has managed to locate his common sense on the issue but I can’t applaud a grown man behaving like that towards a teenage girl.

And isn’t it a bit hypocritical of him to treat her that way if he’s only just “getting it” himself as a much older adult who should have more sense?

nauticant · 27/08/2021 07:57

Do you think your DD's analysis was along the lines that she would be willing to accept ladycock in a relationship (assuming she fancied the ladycock owner) and so everyone else should be willing to do likewise?

FatAnkles · 27/08/2021 07:48

I think my DH would be the same. I think I would be the same. Grin

"Ladycock" indeed...Hmm
