what a star! if only so many on Mumsnet could do the same

"I cannot think of anything that helps women’s rights less than pinning the blame on trans women. They face so much violence and scrutiny as is. Leave them alone and focus on the real war on women. It’s happening in the courts and legislatures around this country."

Ah now come on @PearlClutch all forms of prejudice are bad to the beeee kind crowd except ageism which is completely brilliant & encouraged at all times 😆

OMG I wasn’t even born when it aired 🤣 Wouldn’t it be awful if we were no longer expected to know about the great thinkers, writers and artists of history - as well as a whole load of other things - because they were SO OLD OMG LIKE REALLY OLD, LIKE THEY DIED SOOOO LONG AGO, LIKE OMG BEFORE 2012, THAT’S LIKE, ANCIENT?

Good to know you’re keeping on keeping on being REALLY KIND to everyone, though, and not at all, trying to be ageist and insulting 😂 Like, OMG it’s like literal violence, you know? I do not know how I’m going to cope, but I think I can probably find an anime-themed safe space somewhere just in case I literally like, die?

Perhaps antifash is hoping for a Maoist type revolution.

Also a concept that promoted power and hierarchy based on birthright rather than merit. But Antifascist, whose user name is positively Orwellian, loves her.

It’s a bit rich to take lessons in feminism from an actress that appeared in a 1970’s TV series that … objectified women.

You are lovely, aren't you, OP?

Talking about pistachio nuts, apparently they are really reactive so have to be stored/packaged in strict conditions. I read about it in my new book, Lessons in Chemistry. It frightened me a little and compelled me to finish off our supply.

It’s a real shame when not knowing about anything before 2012 means that you don’t realise all your opinions are like, forty years old. Cringe!

Yes it makes saying like ‘Plus ca change’ hard to comprehend when you are so prejudiced against ancient history (pre 2012) that you have deemed it another thing not worthy of respect. And the 80’s must be prehistoric using that scale too.

Why is it when I see a post by antifascist I always automatically find a scene featuring Rick from The Young Ones running through my head….?href="memeguy.com/photo/22072/hands-up-who-likes-me"><img src="memeguy.com/photos/images/hands-up-who-likes-me-22072.gif" alt="" title="Hands up who likes me" /></a> Hands up who likes me

I noticed that a lot of the criticism of Bette Midler pointed out her age and how irrelevant she was because of that. And here's Lynda Carter with her opinion.

This is on a thread about Wonder Woman from the 1970s 🤣

Because you can’t reason with fanatics. There’s no ‘pinning the blame’ on anyone for anything. Men just can’t be women. That will be true for as long as humans exist. I’m not going to waste my time arguing about it with the woman who used to play Wonderwoman.

Great post. Made me think of this -

presumably due to the mention of puppies, the ad I'm seeing next to this thread is for dog treats, including a large, hairy (I guess) ponies ear

weird

you definitely get more tempting adverts when you frequent style and beauty

How nice to see a variety of ads.

Oddly I seem to only get a grey box due to slow loading.🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh, lovely! What sort of puppy?

😝Guilty, sorry just saw it, new puppy came hurtling towards me so I just commented without rtft. Just read, don’t agree with most but still happy it was what it was! (Have to get back to puppy and kids now!)

achillestoes · 07/07/2022 19:17

@stayathomer

Do you criticise people on other sites when they say “kill the te*fs” and “die in a grease fire”, or do you only police female morality?

Finally a thread on this forum that isn’t just about hatred and blame. Thank you op

Tell me you haven’t read the thread without telling me you haven’t read the thread, as the Youth say these days

RoseslnTheHospital · 07/07/2022 19:15

Ah the irony. "Antifascist"' is all about the hatred and the blame. Every single post and thread.

RoseslnTheHospital · 07/07/2022 19:10

You mean Rik Mayall, comedy legend, who died in 2014.

Is being old bad? Or is being old the same as being a fascist?

I always hear antifascist’s posts in Alexei Sayle’s voice.
which autocorrect just insisted should be Alexis Style, so it’s obviously become a tool of the patriarchy, dammit.
