Apparently we are a bunch of "stay at home mothers"

It was badly phrased because it's a bit of a sore topic for me at the moment.

My child is nursery age, but has more complex needs than his peers, so our decision is very much based on finance and need- In the back of my mind I think a bit of nursery for baby/work for me would be good, but circumstances are more complicated. That's what I was trying badly to get across, that either choice is fine but the same choice not good for all circumstances.

Nothing wrong with stay at home mothers if your circumstances demand it

and if it's nothing to do with circumstances demanding it, is it still ok?
That was poorly phrased. What i meant was most sahm do it for financial reasons or because it gives the best chance for children as it gives a 1:1 experience they don't get in childcare.
It was more saying it's fine to go to work too if able or better to, IE. I'm not saying sahm is superior or inferior.

But in my case if was largely a financial decision.“

I’ve now seen this ( only a few posts, difficult to keep up) but understand my reply was without full knowledge.

I’m not here to have a fight about WOHW women (sometimes also mothers) vs SAHW (sometimes also mothers), so thank you for clarification.

It’s one of the main points of feminism for me: choice.

@FOJN
Can I assume that as I'm not a SAHM my TFtastic veiws are more credible than those of your average domesticate birthing person?

I'm part time so no idea what level of credibility I have. However when I do work i earn more than twice my DHs hourly rate, which I'm sure would blow their tiny misogynistic minds!!

Never go after Kiwi Farms do they?

That would be signposting people to where the receipts for the things we can't talk about here can be found.

Can I assume that as I'm not a SAHM my T**Ftastic veiws are more credible than those of your average domesticate birthing person?

My SAHM time was by choice. Not demands via circumstances.

And yes, I’ve checked my privilege.

I think the fact that only one sex can be a mum has always grated with a certain kind of man.

I've not RTFT but mums are not the only ones who know how harmful gender identity ideology is to children and young people. I know people who aren't parents - teachers, grandparents, academics, counsellors, social workers and more - who are campaigning against this ideology's infiltration and influence.

One of LGB Alliance 3 main priorities is to protect children who may grow up to be lesbian, gay or bisexual from thinking that body or personality is somehow in need of changing.

Is mother now a slur?
Presumably they have realised they are not going to win the right to the title mother, and from the moment that they realised that it has become an insult to, try and, use against (actual) women.

My bad. Was a pretty crucial conjunction. (Llama face)

@WorriedMumsDontSleep yeah sorry, I took it the wrong way! See what you meant now

But in my case if was largely a financial decision.

Haha - my comment was a joke and it got deleted

Not shouting (though protests can be noticed), not rambling, not mantras.

Stonewall made a good go of it, I have to admit, but I believe they preyed on political and social fear. They should never have added the T.

(As an aside, I do wonder whether employees of businesses/government bodies that are Stonewall champions feel any better in their place of work.. Which assumes they felt bad in the first place, which is wrong and unproven.)

galaxy of Twitter accounts and shadow organisations

I love how all 6 of us have 000000s of Twitter accounts ( where we find the time I do not know) and now we have shadow organisations? Whatever they are. Mi5 we ain't.
But how does 6 people entirely overrun Twitter and run shadow organisations and think of things like man Friday and I heart jk and more importantly pay for this stuff?

And I've not read the article but were we all misgendered?
I ask because no one asked me my gender or sex or pronouns before writing said article.

'Mum Work Is Work' is hilarious.

Bet they don't start painting that on their cardboard sticks.

'There's No Mum in Cis' or 'No Cis in Mum'.... or er, something

Also, the left negates evidence. This morning a poster was saying that California is not a red state because of Ronald Reagan. Incredible how they can do things like this.

It all comes down to to some people's fury at those silly old mummies not shutting up and doing as they're told, doesn't it? An attitude heady with sexism and ageism.

The high level of intelligence and debate from women on here, from all backgrounds and walks of life is astonishing - no wonder it's simultaneously mocked and feared - you have to be able to robustly argue and evidence your point here where is where many TRA's fall down.

Never go after Kiwi Farms do they?

if that makes sense. (It does in my fluffy mumsy irrelevant brain.)

TBH I think it is funny how Mnetters are routinely dismissed as being irrelevant by articles that simultaneously make clear how powerful we are and how powerful MN is as a forum, because otherwise the articles would not get so worried about us.

It must be an endless source of frustration to them that, despite the endless attempts to "educate" us, we still persist. Obviously part of this is because their attempts to educate us have been so counter-productive - threatening to report women to their employers, out them on social media, rape them, torture them or kill them - hasn't, oddly enough, proved to be hugely reassuring.

But the other part, of course, is that we are, quite simple, much much cleverer than them. And they can't stand it.
