Mumsnet Obsession With Penises

My controversial opinion is that most of the Mums who obsess here over penises, uteruses and chromosomes, would pick more important and interesting topics if their own child was trans.

Seens to me that throughout history it's usually men that obsess over penises.
Here's a nice manly bit of obsessing for you from the fifteenth century - 'The Perfumed Garden'

"The virile member, to please women, must have at most a length of the breadth of twelve fingers, or three hand-breadths, and at least six fingers, or a hand and a half breadth.
There are men with members of twelve fingers, or three hand-breadths; others of ten fingers, or two and a half hands. And others measure eight fingers, or two hands.A man whose member is of less dimensions cannot please women."

Personally, I don't care about size as long as the penis is kept out of spaces meant for women.

Written by a trans woman I suppose!

I mean, it's not actually possible to be trans (it's a made-up concept) so there's no chance of my child being trans OP. No more than there's a chance of them being a cat. Or a fish.

In the event that my child starts to think they're trans, they'll be very swiftly told to catch themselves on (kindly and with long gentle chats, at least initially). HTH!

I grew up in the 80's; had my bum fondled on a staircase aged 7; was flashed at, cat called and had 'whore' shouted at me as a frightened teen...by men. I was terrified walking home from the bus stop - I used to take my shoes off and run. I once had a lesbian try to pick me up on the tube (so women can be invasive abusive dicks too but that's another point). You're all directing your vitriol at trans women when since the beginning of time it is men hurting women, not trans women hurting women.

Yeah I know you'll all scream "but trans women are MEN" but even if that's the case, why centre your fury around them and not, er, actual man-identifying MEN. Oh and by the way that rapist who pretended to be trans and raped women in a prison: not trans. A man. A fucking deceitful, violent, perverted sex offending man in a dress. Get it right.

You talk so fondly about your husbands' penises yet if a trans woman has one, it's the enemy. At heart, this is all rage and hatred against people who are not "normal" and don't look or identify how you'd prefer them to look and identify. Did you know that in 19th century South Africa black people were termed "non human?". Substitute "trans" for "black" and "not women" for "not human" and then see how your hatred is working for you.

Angry much?

Really not.

You'll understand when you've had a bit more life experience.

PepsiForEva · 29/06/2025 19:35

Oh exactly. Penises tend to be quite ugly. If they belong to someone you love then they are rather nice.

It's men who are obsessed by them IME. In a manner far outweighing their objective interest tbh.

YesButNoButMayybee · 29/06/2025 19:35

Stupid prize for that one.

We were doing this here way before JKR said what she said (with all due respect to her).

Being aware of biological fact doesn't take radicalisation.

Women are the cradle of life. We don't take orders from numpties.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 29/06/2025 19:32

You have all been radicalised into hate by JKR

Grin Grin Grin

it's a wonder she gets round to writing any books really, what with all that radicalising

MsPavlichenko · 29/06/2025 19:29

Is this the weekend for TRAs to post on Mumsnet?

I think you’ll find it’s you lot, and men in general who are obsessed with penises.

Finally, no such thing as a trans child. Happy to clear that up for you.

Silly old mumsnet! Caring about women and girls safety!

You may want to have a little think about why you hate women and girls OP.

Probably a man/trans person.

''Mums obsessing ...'' ??

You mean women concerned about their safe spaces, yes?

At 62 I have known many many women who have been attacked, physically and sexually, myself included. Not ONE has ever been attacked by a trans woman.

If a man wants to go in a toilet and attack a woman, he will do it.

You have all been radicalised into hate by JKR. OP is correct. You’re all obsessed.

I really really really need the laughing emoji back

Me too! Why did they remove it?! I'm guessing misuse.

Have a biscuit to dunk in your penis beaker.

I do love DH’s one

PeehS · 29/06/2025 19:21

fucking yawn, “oh angry much” women getting angry about the trampling of women’s rights, what a crazy out there thought for them.

you are several years too late if you think anyone is going to be bothered by being called hysterical, or angry or any of the other nonsense meant to get women to shut up.

didgeridid · 29/06/2025 19:20

@theunbreakablecleopatrajonesme too 😔

Upupandaway10 · 29/06/2025 19:20

We really don’t. HTH

CandyLeBonBon · 29/06/2025 19:19

Oooh you have a controversial opinion!!! How exciting!!

YesButNoButMayybee · 29/06/2025 19:18

You mean people who know the difference between fact and fiction ?

PractisingMyTelekenipsis · 29/06/2025 19:17

I quite like penises tbh. Just not in women's single sex spaces.

MaggieBsBoat · 29/06/2025 19:17

I wonder why this is in chat and not AIBU as everyone knows YABU OP?

so penises? I’ve like a few but to be honest my favourite is my husband‘s. Average but perfectly formed. Let’s talk willies and remove the troll.

GameOfJones · 29/06/2025 19:13

I believe in protecting women's rights and in trying to safeguard women and girls.

I have no issue with any transwomen or transmen as long as they acknowledge that they haven't actually changed sex and are just expressing their gender identity. Many are perfectly intelligent and realise this but unfortunately the TRAs have overshadowed them.

You're the one bringing up penises.

Okiedokie123 · 29/06/2025 19:09

If my child was saying they were trans I would be very concerned indeed. Its a cult. Id be 100% focusing on how to help them shift their mindset, be happy in the skin they are in. No child, no adult is born in the wrong body.
If that makes me "obsessed with penises" so be it I guess.
