To think the 'Disrespect NoBody' ad campaign is horribly sexist?

[p4rmaviolet]

Not sure if this has already been discussed but has anybody else seen the 'Disrespect NoBody' TV adverts that are supposedly raising awareness for healthy relationships and domestic violence?

Every single scenario in the advert is targeted at men abusing women whether it be physically or emotionally. Y'know because men are never victims?

Can you explain "almost autistic" for me? Autistic isnt a usual descriptive term, so im rather confused.

Though that could be my autism.

"Check your privilege" buzzwords a gogo!!

Which privilege am i checking? Go on, enlighten me

Well that's there business to be offended.

Why would you come to a thread specifically about whether an ad about domestic violence is sexist to deal with your trauma Hikksta99?

Seems rather odd. Call a support line or visit your GP if you need help, coming to a MRA posed thread on Mumsnet won't help you at all.

TBH I'm offended that I just posted there instead of their.

Well that's there business to be offended.

Really?
Normal common curtsey is that when someone politely tells you they don't like something, because it's offensive (Even if you yourself didn't realise), you apologise.

The support lines are listed on the website Hikksta99. Yes - the sexist website that doesn't acknowledge abuse on men.

80% of people know that
FACT!

All this gender war nonsense is almost autistic.

Nice try at getting a rise after spotting the objection to the word 'moron'.

How many of them do we reckon are giggling to themselves now?

At least moron makes sense if it means stupid, the insult was aimed at a person. Autistic doesnt make sense, how can a thread have difficulty relating to other people. Its not sentient?!

Idiots.

In total, one.

how can a thread have difficulty relating to other people.

That'll be the trouble it has relating to men.

Jason, is it split - "Jason and yawe gunorts"? Its been bugging me

It's a play on words Beyond

Thks for the trolling.

Autism is a spectrum, in this context I mean that you are unable to empathise with someone else's feeling.

Well your moderator deleted my post. I don't know why. You all ridiculed and belittled me for having suffered abuse and for reacting traumatically to a gendered phrase.

I simply said that.

It upsets me how comfortable you all are to engage in gender war and demean men.

And frankly your conspiracy about organised misogyny is bizarre and useless.

You treat men - all men as evil. That's wrong. You treat victims of abuse as being illegitimate and mad. That is wrong and abusive.

I'm shocked. Really shocked by the terrible cruelty here

Well your moderator deleted my post. I don't know why

because you are a man. isn't it obvious?

I was hurt by the advert - so I googled it.

I didn't realise what a cruel place "mumsnet" is. Well. A parenting website with a gendered name should have been an indication.

I am functioning alright, you know? But when there are triggers they can hurt. And that advert is a repeated trigger. That's why I engaged in conversation. Talking can be helpful - but men are often scared and ashamed to talk about their problems.

Like I say. I didn't realise this would be such a vindictive, paranoid and misandyrist forum.

It is indeed very vampire like, most of the posters here sleep in coffins and drink blood.

Hahahahaha. Yes, you did that. You really did, and we really really believe you.

I'm sorry to read it was triggering for you but hopefully that means that men are learning to accept that things presented from a female perspective may also apply from a male perspective too without them being expressly told it is so; in the same way women have had to learn the reverse. If you could communicate to other males that this is the case then society will gain a lot (in my opinion).

I find your disrespect hurtful.

Please Google the campaign and see what comes up. Okay?

What is my angle for lying? What is my intention?

I don't understand why you would be so demeaning? Because there is a forum of misogynists somewhere? Called "red pill"?

I will make this clear - I believe in human equality on a non gendered basis. Everyone is loved by God, I try to treat everyone with respect

OK. Thanks old boot.

I'd prefer non gendered words though. It would be pretty easy to say "it's not okay to tell your partner how to dress".

Then I would feel supported - and really in my experience - this particular point is something women should be learning.

As I say though - this was one of my ex's control mechanisms. It isn't about clothes so much as power.
