I just love this woman! She undoubtedly has the Midas touch when it comes to marketing and publicity.

I have been to several of her events over the years, and she has time for each and every woman who comes to see her.

Any other fans here?

Who are MOR bods? Anyone know?

Middle-Of-the-Road, I assume.

Now, who were the "T" in "Dear T of Mumsnet"?

I wondered about the ‘T’.

I initially thought it was a message to trans people who post on MN.

Quite laughably hypocritical when the flounce included so much shite about communicating clearly, isn’t it?

Thanks to all for highlighting the hypocrisy and reality of ELOs "tiny number" when used in conjunction with trans v women's rights, it was hugely illuminating.

Personally, I think he had to leave the chat for fear of reaching the tip of the mountain based on that alone. Must be quite scary when the penny finally drops.

I suspect that you are right.

Once the misogyny of ELO’s posts had become pointed out repeatedly on different threads, and the constant cognitive distortions they relied on to attempt to convince others, there is no where else to go.

Once it becomes clear that all you have left is guilt by association and ‘Wikipedia’ as your authority, and that you cannot understand even basic safeguarding and think that exposing children to sexual fetishes in IKEA is perfectly fine and applauded because ‘freedom to be who they are in their public life’, and you have actively minimised the plight of female prisoners and dismissed even one women’s health in sport…. there must come a time you realise you are actively harming a community you profess to support.

And when feminists suggest posters are a ‘plant’ because the poster is such a stereotypical extreme trans activist that you really are harming that community you say you belong to, it must finally sink in.

Blimey!

I just read that post on the archive site.

It really did all come down to ‘kindness’, but that kindness only going towards trans people and not women and children.

The complete lack of self awareness that some people have regarding their own actions is always a surprise.

It seems that this was a poster who believes that ‘male’ is a gender identity???? Really. After all this discussion that is the first point.

After we are told constantly that no trans person denies their sex? Yet, we are reprimanded for using sex in discussions were sex is important?

But I particularly liked the ‘you are all old and going to die out soon’ and the ‘if you just used kindness you would be more palatable’.

What was ELO's last post deleted for? I read it and sighed at the ridiculous suggestion that we haven't heard all this before, but was it genuinely too offensive to stand?

No I don't think it was really offensive. There was an awful lot of 'you think this and 'you think that' but that's pretty much all I remember

Regarding rugby, transwoman Miranda Yardley asked the local rugby club men's team if they were happy for Miranda to join and they were - super inclusive!

"If you'd just speak naicely, and politely and gently in a soft voiced and ladylike way, with lots and lots of evidence that male people have proof read first, and agreed is good evidence they'll let you use, and if you're KIND and always put the male sex first but pretend that sex doesn't exist..... men might deign to pay more attention to you. And having now used women to my own agenda to my satisfaction I shall tell you in a headmasterly way that I'm disappointed in you, and leave you to reflect on your sins."

MRAing at its finest! 😂

Forgot to say who - but I'm sure you can guess!

Wellies54 · 21/01/2023 11:06

So, having failed to convince a group of people who have lived their entire lives experiencing the biological reality of girl and womanhood that we're being mean to men with tediously navel gazing gender feelz, he's flounced off feeling terribly self righteous.

DarkDayforMN · 21/01/2023 11:06

You'll find it archived in the usual places. It was a rather pompous "advice" letter to us lot.

HA. I just read it, thanks. Love that he’s giving us advice about how to win over the masses with better communication. Because the people love a pompous windbag.

Did I miss a flounce post? I’m disappointed!

I’m sure he’ll be back under a new name anyway. First rule of flouncing.

It was a lovely example of oh shit I pushed it a tiny bit too far with my dismissal of women in my last few posts, so I shall pretend I'm bored with them now and leave them a few sage words on which to think.

Silly little women.

But more wordy.

I want to play Rugby Top Trumps with ELO - I'll take an all-male deck, and ELO can have an all-female one.

Equal stakes on that, ELO?

Yes, why not take Necessary up on that.

have you thought about being kind

Have you? And have you thought about not being a misogynistic tosser?

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out (look at me being kind!)

Thanks all, I hope you enjoyed and learnt too from my contributions

no

plus most of your last post was rubbish…fwr is not a hive mind

I've had a giggle with the last couple of posts, and it has reinforced the utter paucity of the TRA arguments.

Does that count?

I know this is just sea-lioning so I should ignore, but hey, I'm procrastinating,

Yes, yes we are being kind to women. There is zero kindness towards women to pretend a man can be a woman.

There is also no kindness in telling a man that anyone sees them as a woman or believes they are a woman.

Kindness towards people is doing what is best for them and best for society. Hence we need to say "no" to men when they want to enter spaces for women.

OK, this has to be a spoof account trying out all the TRA bingo lines.

Has to be.

Surely ELO is a GC plant. He's certainly doing our job for us.
