I've lost track.

So far some or all of us are (in no order):

  • receiving illicit funds from fundamentalists in the US
  • handing out lesbian wives (timeshare? Full-time?)
  • turning the UK into T*rf Island
  • taking over both Twitter and Mumsnet despite there being only six of us
  • brigading online surveys
  • creating fear through the use of stickers and/or ribbons
  • creating anger through the use of hoodies and billboards
  • all elderly
  • all middle aged
  • all middle-class
  • all "Karens"
  • but there's only six of us

I've missed loads, does anyone want to add some more? I feel we should keep a list going.

I remember being told I had to personally take responsibility for those injured at the WiSpa protest. It was the feminists fault and of course, it was the original woman who complained’s fault most of all. She should never have posted that video of her complaint being ignored and her being ‘educated’ by ‘the man’.

Yes, I remember we were accused on a thread of personally influencing the Proud Boys to start a counter protest against the noble TRAs and Antifa with our evil wiles and told we had "blood on our hands".

@Artichokeleaves

You can be me if you want, I'll go back to the manufacturers and demand a refund on the grounds that my womanliness was fitted all wrong and Tom Harwood has no idea whether I'm human or not until he's checked my armpits.

I'm dying to know who we're manufactured by, incidentally. Everyone check their bums for a label or a trade mark.

I suspect we have been manufactured by the great JKR empire (or am I thinking of a different thread)

Following on from the 'echo chamber' comment. Don't forget that we are all entirely unwilling to listen to anyone who disagrees with us and we base all our beliefs on personal fears/anecdotes. Despite stating lots of facts and frequently, repeatedly, asking those who disagree with us to explain what appear to be discrepancies in their explanation of issues/facts.

To be honest, we should really be grateful to the TRAs for paying us as much attention as they do. I mean, given that there are only 6 of us and we are mean, nasty, stupid, old and insignificant they could be forgiven for just ignoring us.

Quite tricky to dress sock-puppets in bifurcated garments…I declare that you are not a sock and I claim my five pounds

Artichokes is so a sock, I know cos I am her, or her is me, or mock socks in frocks and crocs
Or something?
I got lost somewhere in the last 3 pages.

ArabellaScott · 17/01/2022 14:02

Gatekeepers ... with carpetsweepers?

Giggorata · 17/01/2022 13:51

Aren't we supposed to be gatekeeping our vaginas from those who think their dicks are ladydicks or something?

ArabellaScott · 17/01/2022 13:47

Bots in culottes!

Clones in rhinestones!

OhLordyWhatNow · 17/01/2022 13:43

Is it the production line like that old Shreddies advert where the Nanna's are knitting?

Are new mumsnetters being replicated in yarn by mumsnetters from the beginning (of Mumsnet) time? We're all just woolly clones of the originals?

Wow!

Alekto · 17/01/2022 13:34

We're "manufactured" now!

On some sort of sock production line maybe?

You're not going to get a sensible or unbiased answer here I'm afraid - Enjoy the manufactured echo chamber.

@Enough4me
See my post upthread re: No Witching Allowed…

@littlbrowndog
I mean, we do seem to be really bad racists. As in, really useless at being racist & doubtlessly maggoty for refusing to agree with the enormously racist assertion that blank women are essentially the same as men (or sometimes the other way round). Maggoty maggots for pointing out it is not simply a nonsense argument, it is racist nonsense. (Of course, Miss Trunchbull called the children in her care “maggots” & treated them badly because they were so much smaller & weaker & she was in a position of power & privilege. However, “even if you’re little you can do a lot” - including revolting…)

Maggots. Grin

Cue all the songs from Matilda......

Artichokeleaves · 17/01/2022 13:04

I like socks in frocks.

However am wearing trousers, a jumper that I bought from the men's department and unisex socks, so other than a deeply held and sincere inner belief that I only have a biological sex and can dress/do/like/be anything I choose or happen to be in the mood for while still being that sex.....

I have nothing to justify being a proper sock. It's a problem.

littlbrowndog · 17/01/2022 12:33

And that was from an adult woman

littlbrowndog · 17/01/2022 12:32

Twitter user now says TERFS are really bad racists and maggots

Not sure what a really good racist is 🤷‍♀️

Enough4me · 17/01/2022 11:58

@NitroNine I have had a message deleted, but doubt it was for mentioning witches. So is witch completely out as a term against the 6 now?
I can get off the ducking stool!

OhLordyWhatNow · 17/01/2022 11:58

ArabellaScott · 17/01/2022 11:45

@NitroNine

I’ve always found PC Gul’s name rather unfortunate (please see attached image*), given the whole situation.

Which is a reminder that we Use Our Words - & actually do do research (& do so carefully) so are well-informed. There is a propensity in FWR for using the words of others in the best of ways, too, whether serious, silly or sentimental. What’s that about when we could just SHOUT THREATS AND INSULTS & post images with threats of (specific) violence towards other posters? We also keep answering questions & giving FACTS when everyone knows you have to tell people to Educate Themselves.

  • For anyone who uses a screenreader, the image is a screenshot from the Collins dictionary of the (archaic) definition of gull that as a noun means someone who is easily fooled or cheated & as a verb means to fool cheat or hoax. C16 word, perhaps from dialect gull meaning unfledged bird; probably from gul derived from Old Norse gulr, meaning yellow.

(Also, how doesn’t MN have Alt-Text when you upload images?)

And the verb 'to gull' is the origin of the adjective 'gullible'.
TheABC · 17/01/2022 11:33

These days I self-identify as a dragon.

ArabellaScott · 17/01/2022 10:24

Ooh, witches in britches.

prudencepuffin · 17/01/2022 10:17

Dinosaurs, witches and sock puppets who dont believe that all prostitutes (am I allowed that word?), live a well salaried, freely chosen and pleasant existence.
And think that people running the girl guides probably shouldnt pose with guns on their FB or Instagram accounts.

ArabellaScott · 17/01/2022 10:15

Dinosaurs in flowery drawers?
Skinks in spanx?
T-Rexes in specs?
Diplodocuses in varifocalsus?

NitroNine · 17/01/2022 10:07

Are we in fact lizards who self-ID as vipers? TBH I’d rather be a lizard. Lots of lizards look a bit dinosaury too.

Skinks in socks? Probably blue-tongued skinks, given i. how sweary things get & ii. that when I went to find a skink picture for those who’ve sadly never met one, first of illustrations (decided better not to use a real pic as lizards make some people feel a bit funny-peculiar) was witch!skink Hmm
