Bad Language

[nononsensemumof2]

I started a thread about a subject close to my heart - GM Food infiltrating into our supermarkets, see GMO.
However I was bombarded with male posts, not only attacking this subject, but me personally, even using the C word.! I'm no prude but as a first time poster to mumsnet I was really shocked and somewhat disappointed that this site could be used, by men, obviously, to demean and degrade us just because they may happen to disagree.
They were presumably fathers, some of daughters, or if not, we can safely assume that they do at least all have Mothers, and I felt like a fly on the wall at the worst kind of lads night out imaginable.!

Why is mumsnet allowing this to happen despite my reporting them?
More importantly why do men feel so threatened on a site which at least unites us in parenthood, to use such derogatory and offensive terms.?
Shouldn't we all unite in achieving the best future for our kids.?
Shouldn't men loose the attitude or go somewhere else to vent.!

nonsensemum, have you not bloody noticed how few of the threads are about child related things?! Surely that's enough to make an intelligent person realise that it's going to attract a very wide variety of people, not just Mums.

Maybe you'd suit netmums instead, they seem more into scare stories and lack of evidence. Which btw, you could have raised a few very valid points about GMO, but instead you didn't provide evidence for your points, probably have no clue what you're on about yourself as you read it in the latest lentil weavery the-world-is-against-us e-zine you read and tried to scare monger on a site full of intelligent people who actually do go out and research this stuff.

& fwiw, an exclamation mark does not need a . in front of it...

I can't believe this thread and just had to join in. In my 'part of London' (who actually owns a part of London anyway...?) plenty of us (females) love to use the word cunt. I was once in an opera where the word 'cunt' was sung on a very high note!

Oh, and cunt cunt cunty cunt cuntwank tossing cunt. Gotta love the word

I sense a lot of angry people out there, who seem resentful of anyone who dare attempt to inform people about anything they didn't already know.

But you didn't, did you?

You didn't post any information...just a poorly worded rant littered with sexist comments.

In Scotland we use cunt as a term of affection i.e.

"I met wee Jimmy the other day, he's a good wee cunt, him".

OMG! This reads like the nursery school, saying poo,poo, piss.!
What is wrong with you people, really, get a grip. Try to say something intelligent, please, just cos its a wee bit more interesting.

Do you generally peruse the internet looking for forums to join, so you can criticise and slag off the members' posts?

Or are we just very lucky?

OP, not everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.
Not everyone who is mocking your posts is childish
Not everyone who swears is easy to fit in the tight little stereotype you are wrapping around the quickly growing group of people who think you are sounding awfully like a pompous arse.

Could you be scathing please OP.
Get it off your chest.

nononsense - why don't you just find another online community whom share your passions and beliefs and are much more grown-up and don't act like they're in the school playground

It seems that MN isn't for you. We're far too low brow for the likes of you, it seems.

Now don't let the door hit you on the way out, dear

Oh and we don't really do the OMG!! thing here, it's so 'teen'.

I now have a mental image of the OP as Annie Wilkes, from Misery.

I think it was the bit where she typed 'poo,poo, piss.!'. Sounded very close to the edge there.

I love using the word CUNT! It's a great word. As an adult, I feel able to use swear words intelligently and immaturely, as the situation dictates.

I cite Micky Flanagan, who says that you know when you're relationship has got to serious stage when the 'casual cunting' starts. My DH and I frequently call each other a cunt. It's a word, so much nicer than 'minge' sounds like mange - yuck!

OP - YABU.

I have actually been meaning to start a thread on whether or not saying cunt has become more socially acceptable. I don't need to now.

...!!!!
I am ill, and your bizarre punctuation is making me worse.

Try to say something intelligent, please

Really? That and the comment about learning chemistry, from someone who has not the faintest clue what DNA is.

This wouldn't necessarily be a problem in life. Unless you are posting a thread about GMOs, in which case it helps to have a vague inkling.

So tell us about this GMO again, will you Op.?
Cos you is dead intelligent.

I'm more concerned with the 'nursery school' the Op mentioned above, where they all say 'poo, poo, piss'! Which nursery school is that?

It is a Gigantic Mahoosive Overstatement to say your stupid, thread was well-received.

Haven't you got a banner to knit for your upcoming single digit attendance protest?

Favourite word DH taught me: Cuntbucket. Apparently its a collective of Cunts.

Also OP would you for the live of all things holy cease and desist putting an . in front of a !

Live = love

Jersey - in Glesga we'd say a cuntbucket is one woman and lots of ahem deposits from various contributors

Feegle - Must be a Jersey thing! I think yours makes more sense mind you. He also taught me the words Cocksmoker, Asshat, Spunknugget.

Can you tell i married a man who played Call of Duty?

Oh I forgot about the protest.
I think we should all go along with banners and shout
GMO GMO CUNTS CUNTS CUNTS.

Jersey - I think your DH has taught you well, young Padawan always good to know filth!

LBE - I'm with you! GMO, MONSANTO, CUNTS, CUNTS, CUNTS!
