Anyone else feeling annoyed at how backwards the world is going?

[Littlemissgobby]

Heard on the radio about how so many women in Scandinavian countries are becoming trad wives.
These are not just stay at home mums these are believing in the whole men work and women stay at home . Very traditional gender split.
Then on the radio talking now how many young men are following reform. A backlash against feminism and of course same old thing angry young men are attracted to the far right as they tell them it's everyone else to blame for their problems.
Andrew tate bollox a form of radicalisation which farage has jumped on.
I just find all this depressing.
Even listening today about how them footballers didn't want a pride flag on their kit.
You can't catch being gay. We haven't even had a fully committed gay footballer at the top as there is alot of homophonia amongst fans
I just find this a backward slide do you?

Meh, ignore this user, the trolling is not even entertaining to read.

There does seem to be an increase in posters just insulting each other this evening. It’s really fucking dull. I don’t normally agree with the “Mumsnet’s gone to shit” threads but this is dire. Bed time.

Well, I'm very sorry I hope it wasn't aimed at me. I genuinely wanted a good discussion because I am actually quite scared of the direction this world is going in.Especially listening to how young men are thinking that nigel harges everything when he bloody well, isn't

How dare you be so insulting. What a damn cheek!

Agree with this, it's just distracting from the topic.

@TofuTart

It's funny (not funny but you know what I mean) but a lot of feminists do side with Reform, and the far right (not all ) and again I think it's radicalisation, it's a big worry.
Just like someone pointed out on the other thread that young white men can be feeling threatened, or vulnerable, that they're thinking about their privilege (or rather can't or don't want to), it opens them to be radicalised - with feminism the far right are trying to wedge their way in to radicalise women in the same way, but they do it by saying they're coming for your kids, (LGBT), that men are trying to colonise women, to "erase" them, that men hate you...
Online radicalisation in both groups is a big worry and I don't give a shit if people laugh or pretend it's not happening.

The feminist board on here gets very defensive indeed if anyone points that out, but most of the threads are somehow Right-related and they are constantly trashing 'lefties'. It's bizarre. This is a trend that's really only gained traction in the last 4 years or so.

@claratheskivvy 🤣🤣🤣 your humour & wit will go completely over Gobby's head. You win the thread🙌

Interesting. I just think it starts with hate if you watch Star Wars. Yoda says it right. Anger leads to the dark side, and it's true genuinely believe this is what's happening in the world.

You can look out for the technique OP...

It will start with an attempt to bring it back to a trans issue (which is the 'in' to the receptive audience)

And then it will eventually culminate in a ' Welllll you can kinda see that Andrew Tate has a point'

I don't think many intelligent readers are actually falling for it...they can see how the the threads operate now.

By young men I assume you mean biologically born males for the sake of clarity ?

Agreed. This is why many feel that the left has left them.

Some men "feel" like they're women so are imposing on female only spaces. And we're supposed to just "be kind" and accept this?

We now have kids at school identifying as "furrys" because they identify as a cat and want to wear a tail or God knows what else.

It's insanity.

Haha, as I said...case in point, OP 😁

Ooo, you are a darling 😘
Their incomprehensible witterings highbrow discussion is too much for me at this time so I'm off to cuddle my cat 😂

This.

Very funny after you wrote this, the next troll. Decide to do exactly what you said.So funny that you know what's going on

O my goodness, this thread is a perfect exemplar 😁

Wish it were possible for Mumsnet to reveal.the IP addresses 😁

I haven't watched Star Wars (how,I don't know lol) but that Yoda quote seems to be what they're doing, trying to get people angry, rile them up, pit us against each other. That's how they get the support, painting themselves as the ones who can save you, only ones who can understand you.

There's nothing new. Mumsnet has been targeted in this fashion for a long time now.

Most people are aware.

Wait back up a minute. Are you telling me you Ve never watched any Star Wars films, what the fuck ? That's even shocked me more than anything else l o l

Well the tide has absolutely turned & not a moment too soon. The world has woken up to the Emperor with no clothes & women are not going to share their female, private territory with men.

🥱🥱

I think that a little common sense is creeping in, and my goodness, not before time.

What is a woman @suggestionsplease1

Love the fact you were literally proved right by a post one minute after yours😁
It's what they do, must be a script.

This woman is one who sees right through this shit.
