So what are we up to?

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.

There's a lot of fucking feet in these socks, is all I'm saying. More feet than you'd expect in a nest of vipers.

We for me personally. Im a dried up old hag who is both obsessed with sex and other people's genitals and a frigid prude. Take your pick. I want children to die by not making life changing decisions before they are of an age where they understand the implications of their decisions.

I'm a middle class white feminist even though I'm not white or middle class and although I'm "just the same" as transwomen I'm overcome with jealousy at their superior femininity

Or am I???

Aren't we all old/aging strawmen/women wearing dog whistles on a chain of pearls? And an apron?

(I am currently wearing Crocs but no socks as it is summer here).

OhLordyWhatNow · 16/01/2022 23:33

I'm envisioning sock puppets made from Argyle socks with googly eyes and a red felt forked tongue to truly reflect what everyone knows... Mumsnet is a nest of vipers.

BettyFilous · 16/01/2022 23:32

@stinkycheeseman Please, please tell me you are fan of the children’s picture book, the most anarchic, meta children’s book I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. 🙏

I'm pretty sure I am the sock puppet of someones dark side.

Just have to figure out who but I'm pretty sure it's one of those Terfy Dinosaur people who hoard things.

I don't seem to be able to open my mouth without offending anyone.

Grumpyosaurus · 16/01/2022 23:15

If there are only six of us, I must have a lot of sock puppets that I know nothing about.

Or, possibly, I am a sock puppet, like some sort of NPC.

It's keeping me awake. Am I an NPC? A sock-puppet-mistress unaware of her powers? A wingnut? In the pay of the religious right?

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?)

So what are we up to?

We don't deserve to be allowed to vote. And we only got the vote in the first place because all the Suffragettes were brave transgender people.

Also we shouldn’t be allowed to vote because all suffragettes were white middle class women* so evil evil nonmen

*(would have been news to Ellen Wilkinson but no more of a surprise than discovering we’re MC has been to many of us)

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 16/01/2022 22:02

Oh yes, I forgot another egregious offence. We've appropriated the colours of the genderqueer pride flag, which are lavender, white and green. Some uppity women have tried to argue that the Suffragettes were using these colours a century before the word genderqueer was invented, can you imagine!

FWR members make stuff up about how people might pretend to be stuff to do stuff that's just never going to happen.

Ever

They need to stop doing mean links to stuff that makes it look like people might pretend to do stuff so they can do other stuff that doesn't make some people with delicate feelings feel bad.

Honestly, if you could just be more specific without actually including any facts because they are obviously not facty enough/were collected by the wrong sort of people/are too mean to mention or don't count because it's a day of the week ending in Y.

I too identify as a 20 year old. Also a model also a gazillionaire.

heathspeedwell · 16/01/2022 19:04

Don't forget that we are all 'insecure about our own femininity'.

Even incredibly beautiful mum-of-four Posie Parker and stunners like Karen Ingala Smith or Emma Hilton are just gender critical because they're not quite womanly enough.

moves on.

As Jolyon says I should.

@QueenSue

Isn't it amazing that only six people are capable of turning the UK into T*rf Island?

Also it's weird that although despite womaning wrong they have invented a new title for us - cis - and despite homosexualing wrong they have invented several new titles for us - genital fetishists or gynosexuals or whatever - it isn't enough to just hoik us out of womanhood or lesbianhood and rename us. It's as if somehow they know we don't care what they call us, it doesn't change reality. It's the furious frustration at our unwillingness to play ball that amuses me. Because womanhood on your own, without the company of women, is somehow no fun for them (see also third spaces) likewise lesbianism with no lesbians.

Sorry. Anyway back on topic, I forgot we all misgender everyone all the time, for fun, including anyone even slightly gender non-conforming.

Poor PC Gul. Infamous now.

@FlyingOink

We don't deserve to be allowed to vote.

Also because we're too old, I think.

I think it's to do with that we'd probably vote wrong. Like we keep womaning wrong. And homosexualing wrong.

Despite PC Gul's best efforts.

Prosecco is meh. I'd rather have Cava (or realistically beer)

Terf Island is extremely unsafe for trans people. Hundreds of trans people are murdered here each year, just for being trans. Probably.
You don't get it. If you murder someone, they no longer exist. If you deny someone's existence, they no longer exist. It's metaphorical carnage.
