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 couldn't be a vegetarian. I'd cave in every time I smelled bacon cooking. Is there a nicer cooking smell than bacon?

I've been called far worse.

Yes usual. I could have been called a 'special snowflake'.

Do you have a head and fingers to type with?

Then you fit in.

Brains are optional.

well I have been told I 'have the face of Satan'

I've been accused of being a teenage boy, a man and stupid!

I was accused of being 'chippy' once. In the chippy maybe, but I am not generally chippy by nature.

I also got told I had 'made my point' this week. Which is always nice to know. Grin

I've been accused of not understanding feminism on here by some feminists. I've also been accused of being a bloody feminist and feminazi on here and on other forums.

Good to know, Redtooth. Only 'the face of Satan', Sunny. that was reassuring. I don't understand feminism either Orlando.
I'm heading off to the chippy with Sparkling

I didn't call you foolish either. But there you go, that's two now.

My son once commiserated with me about my face. That was a low point.
