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.!

My "you are all cunts" was aimed at everyone. Grin I do lufs you all though.

I also don't care if I go to hell, I don't believe hell, sooooo...

Lj8893 · 22/05/2013 22:06

At first I was just having a laugh with the whole cunt thing.

But OP, you really are a fucking cunt.

gordyslovesheep · 22/05/2013 22:18

Hmm cunt

Still18atheart · 22/05/2013 22:19

Sorry OP but i didn't read the whole 9 pages of your original thread as I have better things to do with my time.

gordyslovesheep · 22/05/2013 22:19

don't - she's a massive sockmonster - sorry HQ but she is

LadyBeagleEyes · 22/05/2013 22:28

Oh come on, give her a break.
If she's deleted, her expertise on GMO and DNA could be lost forever.
We need posters like her to keep us right.

IneedAyoniNickname · 22/05/2013 22:30

I need to inform the others at college about DNA before our exam in 2 weeks. Our teacher got it all wrong and I'd hate for us to fail as a result Grin

ItsallisnowaFeegle · 22/05/2013 22:49

Maybe just fuck off go elsewhere nononsense, you are not on our collective wavelength, and trust me that particular wavelength is extremely all encompassing Grin

WhereYouLeftIt · 22/05/2013 22:57

Ooh, what did I miss Grin? Could some kind cunt PM me the gist of what was deleted?

OliviaMMumsnet · 22/05/2013 23:03

AHEM

OxfordBags · 22/05/2013 23:09

People, people! You are being monstrous! Is it not clear that the OP has stepped straight from a Victorian ITV melodrama onto the pages of MN? Why must you fucking cunts pick on her so?!

Every time you swear, a fairy dies. Remember that and hang your heads in shame.

LadyBeagleEyes · 22/05/2013 23:19

That was an AHEM in capitals.
Bloody Hell, Olivia's cough is getting seriously bad.
Desist people.

BabyMakesTheBoobiesGoLeaky · 23/05/2013 07:56

A drop of gin would clear that dry throat Olivia.

Op your GMO thread was littered with false information and scare mongering tag lines. By trying to present yourself as superior and socially aware you have merely ended up looking like an cunting idiot.

Cunt is not a bad word and no one I ever knew ended up in hospital because of it,and I used to live in a not so nice area of Cork where you were glassed for looking at someone wrongly.

"I will admit however that I did think this site was mainly for women with kids. I cant imagine why.? Oh yes it was the NAME of the site !"

I used to frequent a forum with the name tropicalfishforums. But left in a huff when I realised I had been shamefully deceived and most of the posters were not, in fact, tetras and gouramis.

There ought to be some kind of law about these things.

EdwiniasRevenge · 23/05/2013 09:11

Tbh I think that if you look at tge demographic.

The majority of mn posters are female. The majority do have children or are pregnant/trying to get pregnant.

Unfortunately. ..the op clearly thinks we are all hairy handed truckers due to our overuse of the word cunt....out of earshot of our children I must quickly add.

FryOneFatManic · 23/05/2013 09:41

I swear on here, sometimes, but then, it's a place where we can vent if needed. I don't swear much in RL except in the car but my DCs are aware that swearing is a bit of an expression of feelings and understand some words can be offensive to others as we've had the talks. DS (aged 9) favours using "dangnabit" at present if he feels the need to vent Grin

But then, I'm nearly 45 (where does the time go?) and an adult who can make my own decisions without being hectored by a scaremongering escapee from the 1950s.

HairyWorm · 23/05/2013 13:02

Oh, thank you everyone. I am crying with laughter. Best thread I've read in ages. Really cheered me up after a CUNT of a morning!.
And most importantly thank you OP, just for being you x
