AIBU for not being a 'real' MNetter

[derxa]

I don't fit in. I'm old (55), Scottish, sent my DC to private school, not feminist, vaguely right wing, love my DH of 28 years, love red meat, etc. etc. Although I do love Mumsnet. What can I do?

I bet you go mad for a glittery ticker , don't ya ?

Fit in or fuck off

...you don't believe in equal rights for women? Yeah, you're being unreasonable.

Um. there's a wide range of people on mums net. non of what you
posted is particularly controversial (aside from the inane "not a feminist" comment).

carry on. No need to start a thread about how much you like meat and love your dh. its not unusual is it?

You don't fit in because you love your husband?!

I think the beauty of mumsnet is that there is no average mumsnetter. Old/young; kids/no kids; male/female all have a place here.

so you would be happy for your daughter to not have the same opportunities in education and employment that your son would enjoy? You would be happy to not vote?

Really?

worra I don't know whether to fuck off or not!!!

anyway your whole post is a nonsense - like red meat and love your husband? OK....

I totally believe in equal rights for women.

Can you explain what you think "a feminist" is, and why you are not one?

I genuinely don't understand how any woman can not be a feminist

I totally believe in equal rights for women.

You're a feminist.

Well you're a feminist then. Not difficult is it?

Ahem

" I totally believe in equal rights for women."
but you clearly stated that you 'were not a feminist'?

You are 55?

Your post read like of of an attention seeking early teen

JackieO I don't get you darlin'

Nichola? Is that you?

You aren't allowed to say you aren't a feminist.

I am not a real Mumsnetter, my children have tvs in their rooms and crisps in their lunchbox.
I like the pink and blue aisles in toyshops as it makes shopping easier.

I could go on....

Sounds like you are a feminist to me. Maybe it is the title you have an issue with?

I love my husband! I didn't know that made me different to other MNers

You're right enjoying my coffee. In my head I'm a teenager. I just can't take life seriously and yet life has been very serious.

I don't think I consider myself a feminist because I am not completely pro-choice.

I do believe in equal rights for women however.

I had this yesterday - feminism has been skewed over time and many people don't identify as one. I read posts on here and genuinely think wtf half the time.

I think many people don't want to fit into that particular branded box as they don't agree with everything contained in it.
