Women on here

[InfinityTimesInfinity]

Being reasonably new to this site/chat app ...
Having read a few threads in the last couple of days and coming across a lot of unnecessary comments .. AIBU to ask why it seems a lot of women on here seem very quick to throw nasty, horrible insults at other women on here?
I know people are asking for opinions, but, not character assassinations...!
Shouldn't us mums/women stick together and help eachother with advice instead of throwing horrible, bitchy, comments around?

I said "would've appreciated" as a newbie but I can see how fun it is once you know the rules...

Found your thread pacific (nosy ) and FWIW, I think you were most definitely NBU though I would have probably been too scared to say so at the time

none of you make me want to be a mum

I'm not a mum, but I am a viper, as well as being a bitter and twisted barren old hag.
The two don't always go together.
I also am like this in real life.

I'm a mum, it has honed my viper instincts.....i used to be so nice and girly...

allisfairinlove, did you?!
I cannot believe you were bothered - it was not that interesting.
And thanks for agreeing with me - of course I was right

Being more of a viper is one of my greatest achievements and really useful in RL too

OP some of these responses have proved you right :-)

Hahaha pagwatch

Sometimes you're the only reasonable person on a thread.

I am in a recent one, bar the OP on that who seems more sensible than the responders,who, IMO are totally missing the key issue

Just comparing assflame burns pacific

OP, I dont think everyone who is reading this realises you have another thread where you called everyone who disagreed with you a cunt.
So make your mind up about what you want from MN and how to use it.

I think the OP didn't get the answers she was looking for on the other thread, and having rtft, I can see why.

Ok off to AS!

Well in the real world women in general don't stick together but here its just the internet, doesn't affect you like it could do on the outside world

If you need support, MN is probably the best place on the internet to find it. AIBU probably isn't the best place to look for support, but I have seen several threads that have started here and been moved elsewhere because the OP has needed hands to hold.

Every woman I have met from MN has been exactly as they come across on the boards. Intelligent, articulate and able to back up their views with evidence if that is needed. However, there are muppets who seem to post endlessly about how mean everyone is when in fact it's because they talk utter shite, pretty much continuously.

If you find MN a bit robust, can I suggest nethuns? They're lovely there, all glittery and sugary sweet. Myself? I'd rather have a bunch of women from here at my back when things get tough.

Also, on a not unrelated note, grow a thicker skin if honest and robust rebuttals aren't your thing, because the life of a military wife is chock full of women who aren't afraid to tell you where to get off.
