To find Matt Rudd's description of MNers a bit rude?

[Fluteyboots]

Sunday Times Culture section today, page 7. He does say "I love Mumsnet". But then goes on to describe it as "lots of enthusiastic yet slightly mad, hormonal women rabbiting on about things they'll forget five minutes later" .

Whilst parts of this, on occasion, could be true, I did find it fairly patronising, and maybe a bit sexist, as if this were the sum total any of us had to contribute.

Hormonal is a stupid and sexist term.

Idiot.

The rest is fine.

I find it a good thing that the Times now charges for its site. I wish the Daily Mail would follow suit soon.

hormonal oft used on mn by other mums though.

"i want my mil to wear a papersuit and mask near the pram stop maximus catching germs"

is he pfb are you hormonal?are the painters in?

What a numpty , I hate the term rabbiting on , it's like the harry Enfield sketch , women know your limits

Totally innaccurate. I'm NOT HORMONAL . What am I doing here?

Oh yes, yes, those pesky women. I do love them so (the little pets) but they can be so hormonal.

Fucking dickweed.

Rabbiting, wailing, bleating...

...kill him..

aye well if you want to see misogyny in lame humour,then tut away at another alleged example of male hegemony

except sometimes mn is a bit rabbity and hormonal

I suspect I am past hormonal these days.
But I do forget. All the time.

Who are you all? What are you doing in my house! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I'll call the police!

I had a friend who used to say 'woman know your limits to me'

I ditched him

'woman know your limits' to me obv.

ahh...men are just as rabbity and hormonal..they just tend to confine it to footie....men have a period...

Oh well, guess he's entitled to his opinion, shan't lose any sleep over it though!
