Please could people report this account if they are on Twitter.

@MNHQ I've DM'd you on Twitter as well but they have turned the MN logo into a version of the Nazi flag.

I thought that this is the Twitter you wanted? Like you have all those far right people back, rampant misogyny, racism, LGBTQ hate. Surely you're happy that this account is taking hold of their can of free peaches and consuming them all?

I can't speak for anyone else on this thread but I'm all for the rampant misogynists getting a platform if it leads to them getting into pathetic fights with teenagers, and then being so triggered by what's actually a fairly common insult they dox themselves leading to their arrest for human trafficking. More of this I say!!! Let us all marvel at the totally-impressive-and-not-at-all-funny-alpha-maleness of these men!

Mumsnet Madness has been running since 2015 and has 63k followers, I can't see that this is any different.

Totally different sorts of accounts. MN Madness just reproduces posts from MN. This account is actively tweeting comments directed at people like Glinner, Fred Sergeant, Elaine Miller.

Anyway MNHQ have seen the posts and it's up to them what they want to do next. It's their brand and their choice whether to ignore the account or take it up with Twitter.

I don't see how a view on sex based rights attaches someone to the right or left of politics.

Surely you can believe in the national health service-a good system of benefits- legal aid- fairer distribution of wealth etc. and still know that women are adult human females?

I suppose your reasoning is something like:
-I don't like people fighting for women's rights.
-I don't like Nazis
So because I don't like either...the two groups must be the same.

One of the other thing's important in this matter is a sound universal education system that encourages thought and the application of reason. Is that a right wing concept too? ( is it another view you don't like.)

OP there is no such MN account as "MNHQ". Tagging that does nothing. If you want to contact them, email them or report your own post with an appropriate message.

There is a post in Site Stuff linked to this one so MN should know about it already.

I'm in two minds about taking that shite down. Leave it up and anyone with two neurones to rub together would Google to find out what we actually say and instantly peak.
Then again it is a fraud, a con, an impersonation at its finest so it should be brought down.

I think it's up to Mumsnet themselves really.

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 29/12/2022 16:30

They're not pretending to be MN though, so not exactly sure what you want by tagging MNHQs in?
There's loads of accounts like this on Twitter, whether "GC" or whatever.
Or like a previous poster said - is it a case of "free speech - but hang on, no not like that, not for you!!??"

Impersonation of a brand isn't "free speech". Plus it's against twitter rules.

It's a deliberate attempt to damage the MN brand and MN have the right to do something about it.

Another self-own. There will articles. It will pique interest and drive traffic here, where a few more may stick around to see what all the fuss is about.

I for one am not particularly in favour of having the far right on Twitter. Or people who send death threats etc.

Why do you think OP is?

I expect that if they wished, they could claim trademark infringement. Twitter should delete the account.

What on earth makes you think that OP is in favour of Twitter allowing 'far right' people?

You really need to provide some evidence for such a strident assertion.

I see the appointed spokesperson got my comment deleted: pronoun really doesn’t want to answer the single sex spaces question obviously.

BoreOfWhabylon · 29/12/2022 16:39

Thanks OP. Have reported on Twitter and also here.
Also reported the persistent troll on this thread.

They are using the MN logo so they and the name mumsnetfeminists so that would be seen as pretending to be MN. They are implying that they have a link to MN and/or an official sub account for MN. I strongly suspect they have neither. They may damage the MN brand

Don't be any more disingenuous than you have to be.

I had a brief look. They are attacking Glinner and Elaine Miller. I did report it, for all the good that normally does. (Also started a thread about this in Site Stuff. MN itself may have more clout than the rest of us, given it's their logo that's been nazified.)

Whatsnewpussyhat · 29/12/2022 16:30

The greatest misogyny comes from men thinking they get to dictate what a woman so they can pretend to be one.

The LGB hate comes from gender identity ideology extremists that dismiss same sex attraction in order to pander to men's feelings or fetishes.
