What are your unpopular opinions

[HoneyIgrewthekids]

Was discussing this with DD and her friends and thought it would make a great mumsnet thread.

Here are mine,
I cant stand Eastenders
I find Love Island boring
I dont like Ed Sheeran

Nursery should be free from birth, for all
Cyclists should have to have a cycling licence, like a drivers licence
Overweight people need to lose weight
Smoking is gross

David Attenborough is a cock.

NO, did make me laugh though.

Oh and learner drivers shouldn't be on main roads until they are capable of maintaining some sort of speed.

Children who have had a SAHP grow up happier, healthier and closer to the SAHP.

So there!

Ciabatta is over rated

RJnomore1 Yes.

You don't need to join AA if you can drink a whole bottle of wine on a Saturday night.

'A lot of people on MN make shit up A lot of people on MN are very unpleasant A lot of people on MN are incredibly tedious'

That goes for the internet in general though. Maybe you need a hobby.

Mine is troll hunters.Tedious, overexcitedable arseholes who accuse everyone of being a troll, often upsetting genuine posters. Not sure if that's an unpopular opinion though.

@RafaIsTheKingOfClay that is EXACTLY why I opened this thread!

The vast majority of domestic animals are utterly annoying

All this Transgender stuff is complete nonsense

There is no excuse for not eating healthily, none.

Modern feminists are twats.

Most people are stupid/ignorant and full of shit. If you don't know and have no experience on an issue you can express an opinion but you should also state how you came to form that opinion.

My friend has failed to get her child a place in secondary school. She was told of a way to get a supposedly guaranteed place and it didn't work! Most people would realise that everyone would work the system that way - if it worked!!

It’s wrong that when I needed it I couldn’t get any help with my mortgage but the government will pay shed loads to private landlords who own a second/third/more properties that they will more times than not make money either in rent or down the line when they are sold (disclaimer - accidental landlords exempt from this one)

'All this Transgender stuff is complete nonsense'

Concerning and complex yes. 'Complete nonsense' no.

People who own cats should be made to proof their gardens and keep them on their own property.

Cyclists should have insurance.

Wine is not enjoyable.

Porn, lap dancing, strip clubs etc are grim.

Other people's kids are annoying

I like dogs and Nando's though

A penis is not a female sex organ, and if you have a penis, declaring yourself to be a woman and a lesbian does not give you the right to demand that biologically female lesbians accept that you are a lesbian and have penetrative sex with your ‘lady dick’.

Biologically male adult athletes who self ID as women and compete against biological women are not brave and inspiring, they are cheating.

Most women and men who dye their hair blond look awful , especially those who would have been naturally brunette . It rarely suits their complexion . They just look desperate .

@TallTaleTeller
Beauty of this thread... we agree to disagree!

Cunt is an underrated swear word
Raw Tomatoes are the devils balls
Victoria wood wasnt funny

@Chartreuser I agree!

I think you’ve overestimated some of the people posting on MN. I don’t think a single one of these threads has ever made it to the end without being deleted.

They're useful for playing Spot The Twat though when the racist, disabilist, sexist, classist arseholes break cover and show their true colours.

Questioning the oppression of women ≠ Islamophobia.
Male circumcision = FGM.
European societies pander far too much to backward, repressive cultural and religious practices.
