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.

@FlyingOink

Oh yeah, we both simultaneously number only a few people (not sure where six came from but I'll go with it) so our views are irrelevant and we can't change anything, and we've also singlehandedly (six-handedly? Twelve, assuming we all identify as having both hands?) influenced public opinion so we need to be Shut Down.
DRUNK WITH POWER.

or mayb a small prosecco to complete the perfect Karen persona of course. Right, off to knit some more socks with the hair of my vanquished enemies.

Terf Island is extremely unsafe for trans people. Hundreds of trans people are murdered here each year, just for being trans. Probably.

It’s a safe country for cis women, however.

KohlaParasaurus · 16/01/2022 17:56

We're as bad as the Taliban for pointing out that if there are male to female transitioners in Afghanistan they're keeping very quiet.
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.
TRAs don't care what we believe yet are committing suicide at the rate of several million every day because of what we believe.

I believe we’re also responsible for endangering the tourist industry as no one will want to come here because we’re soooooo meeeeean Even though there are only 6 of us so the chances of anyone encountering us in real life would be vanishingly small such is our evil power tourists won’t risk it
Yes it would put them off coming to see fluffy places where nothing bad ever happened, like the Tower of London.

Plus us having boundaries is directly causing male people to be violent to other male people. S'all our fault.

Even though there's only six of us and we're stupid and no one pays attention to us anyway..... Confused Immense power and no reach whatsoever. I'm worried about putting the kettle on in case I accidentally hex the environment or cause Boris to hit the wrong button or something.

Those of us who are homosexual are all homophobic. Yes and doubly TM in denial!

Nobody here is 'fabulous' or 'stunning' or knows how to woman properly because we are doing it all wrong. Because of this - funnily enough, homophobes have told me I've been womaning wrong my whole life, and that I'm trying to be a man too. Smile

I loved it the other day when a poster moved from ‘you are all pear clutchers and prudes’ because you don’t realize that everyone is into kink, don’t you know? Here is a really biased study telling you all.

To

You clearly all have dirty minds if you look at that photo and think that!!!

I mean the same poster within a page.

I say, keep on posting. I mean the huge number of lurkers on these threads learn to pick the inconsistencies very quickly and they learn the posting patterns of us all. The eye rolls that must happen when people read those manipulative flip flops.

Artichokeleaves · 16/01/2022 16:34

All of us are 'cis' (without checking, we just Are) at the same time we're all TM in denial because women are compliant and nice and don't do things like think for themselves and argue back, and all agender so in actual fact Trans. But not.

Those of us who are homosexual are all homophobic.

We're all White (even those of us who aren't) and All Middle Class (even those of us who aren't) and all tits are saggy. (Even if they aren't).

We're a sleeper cell of Regan funded nuns (I never have worked out wtaf that one was all about) while at the same time being just a bunch of silly mummies no one takes any notice of.

Its quite funny really. Shroedinger's Woman. She's assumed to be anything you need her to be for you in the moment.

Which is, in itself, the whole reason for the existence of the entire relationships board and FWR. Woman: a useful prop in your life.

Abunchofyellowroses · 16/01/2022 16:32

Of course we are wrong to be angry with political parties which want to help women but can’t say the word “women” in case in affects the menz and makes them sad.

Snugglepumpkin · 16/01/2022 16:27

Nobody here is 'fabulous' or 'stunning' or knows how to woman properly because we are doing it all wrong.

We don't even know what a woman is; we get that wrong too thinking it's based in reality.

Abunchofyellowroses · 16/01/2022 16:27

And saying “Sex” instead of gender is rude.
Apparently.

Abunchofyellowroses · 16/01/2022 16:25

Hello to all “6” of you.

I think opposing some “authentic selves” may have been something I have been charged with. Oh, and obviously we haven’t been a) kind or b) yeah, kind.

It may have been suggested that I was overly interested in genitals and that makes me not just keen to safeguard women and children but a bit evil.

Being shrill takes up a lot of time too.

LilithOfEden · 16/01/2022 16:10

We're all Shroedinger's kink shamers: we've only ever experienced vanilla sex, done to us whilst we've laid back, eyes tightly shut, clutching our pearls and praying to the Evangelical God Almighty to smite transpeople with his massive wonga; but at the same time, we are obsessed with genitals and jealous of stunning trans women and their fab bodies and designer "vaginas".

Oh yes, absolutely “skinhead” isn’t synonymous with “racist” - I just think it was pretty wretched not to address the reality of the style being… taken over (colonised, even?) by a group with a particular agenda. No mention at all, as if “skinhead” were only ever an innocent fashion statement. It’s not as if they were having to address being official providers of the unofficial Neo Nazi uniform - failure to address it is what looks poor; & is a missed opportunity to draw that distinction between groups of skinheads.

I will write you a note to excuse you Doc Martens. They are a nightmare to break in, but so awesome once broken. Don’t tell anyone, but I suspect FWR might be more about the decent walking boots… I was going to suggest hi-top trainers as pseudo-boots; but the ones I own are glittery & have unicorns on. Probably not fascism-approved. Mein Kampf has a sad lack of unicorns (& indeed glitter) after all.

FlyingOink · 16/01/2022 13:38

From what I know there were different types of skinheads though? The ones into ska etc weren't racist, the ones into Oi were? I'm oversimplifying obviously.
Not DMs please though, they're murder to break in.

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

NitroNine · 16/01/2022 13:27

Probably we won’t be allowed Doc Martens Because Reasons Flying Oink. But they will NEVER take my sparkly DMs from me, drat them all!

(Incidentally, the Doc Martens website has a blogpost that opens with “It is impossible to recount the history of Dr. Martens without reference to Skinheads” - & then doesn’t address Those Skinheads. You know, the ones everyone is actually thinking of. Which looks so so much worse than acknowledging than the issues of the 1970s & 80s.)

FlyingOink · 16/01/2022 13:11

If we're full-on fascist at least we'll have cool boots, right?
I've never seen a fascist in Crocs.

We’re racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, far-right, Brexit-voting anti-vaxxers.

Even those of us who are black / Jewish / lesbian / not from the UK / triple-jabbed / lifelong Labour voters.

Cattenberg · 16/01/2022 12:37

We’re racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, far-right, Brexit-voting anti-vaxxers.

We don’t realise that DSD’s exist.

We don’t believe that trans people exist, but we want to eliminate them.

We suffer from “brain rot”.

We believe in a “magical gender essence”, that persists in a person even after they’ve transitioned.

It’s Mumsnet’s fault that trans women in Brazil have been murdered by men. Presumably because FWR is full of Brazilian men and we made them do it.

FlyingOink · 16/01/2022 12:15

Which one of the six am I? Is it like when you have to get people into groups and you count 1,2,3 and then you realise you're in the same group as bloody Gary again?
I identify as being person number three.

@TurquoiseBaubles I’m also in Ireland.

I can’t think for myself & import west Brit feminism. Irish women apparently have a long history of being stupid.
