To think Mumsnet is OBSESSED

I used to read Mumsnet because it was a lot of clever, funny women talking about stuff I was interested in, but it's become a one issue forum. It's exhausting.

I agree

MrsJoshDun · 22/03/2018 20:13

Well that looks like a screenshot from the feminist board not active convos.

You can always hide the section if you want. But don’t try and stop people debating an important issue.

petmyunicorn · 22/03/2018 20:13

I absolutely agree. It's both exhausting and frustrating.

Rainboho · 22/03/2018 20:13

Is that the feminism board? Because that doesn’t look like active convos to me.

PrincessoftheSea · 22/03/2018 20:13

Agree ridiculous

Yeah...that’s the thread list from Feminism Chat. This is a real issue that women, especially feminist women, want to talk about.

You don’t want to read anything about it - do don’t. Or maybe, you could read some of it - especially the thread you were so scathing about earlier, the one about the petition?

clownfaces · 22/03/2018 20:14

I think there are still many clever and funny posters, but I'm also fed up of seeing those threads. I just ignore them.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 22/03/2018 20:15

It’s so fucking boring now.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 22/03/2018 20:15

PS nobody forces you to be here. If you look hard enough you’ll probably find another parenting forum that has fewer critical minds than here.

GreenSeededGrape · 22/03/2018 20:15

How about you keep out of feminism then if you find it boring Hmm

I can't understand any female who isn't interested in knowing more about self ID.

TeachesOfPeaches · 22/03/2018 20:15

The trans threads seem particularly prolific tonight.

UnimaginativeUsername · 22/03/2018 20:16

My active convos looks like this.

If you don’t like it, hide the feminism boards.

I agree, I'm hiding so many thread these days

MrsJoshDun · 22/03/2018 20:16

There’s a lot of threads on mumsnet which don’t interest me. Mainly anything to do with babies, kids or parenting.....I don’t complain about them, just rarely bother reading them. Grin. Nobody holds a gun to your head making you read everything. Pick what interests you.

halfwitpicker · 22/03/2018 20:16

It's all a bit much really

Tartyflette · 22/03/2018 20:17

But sadly absolutely necessary because it's one of the few places where women, including transwomen, can have an open debate about something so hugely important withouth being harassed, shouted down or threatened with violence.

Rainboho · 22/03/2018 20:17

I used to love Mumsnet, it was full of intelligent women debating screen time, now you’re all watching TV and letting your brains rot. MNHQ need to tackle this.

Slitherout · 22/03/2018 20:17

THIS is active convos (hope photo loads!) - mners are actually just obsessed with a whole range of AIBUs if we're being fair.

NannyOggsKnickers · 22/03/2018 20:17

Perhaps don’t look if you find it boring. HTH

Some of us actually find it interesting and important.

NotACleverName · 22/03/2018 20:17

If a transwoman falls over in a wood does she make a sound if there aren't 3,842 MN threads about it?

AnyFucker · 22/03/2018 20:18

Hide the feminism boards then

It's not rocket science

Fairenuff · 22/03/2018 20:18

It can be whatever you want it to be. You can screenshot any one of the many topics. Maybe it's just you that's obsessed OP?

Tattybogle89 · 22/03/2018 20:18

There is a sudden rush of threads with trans in the title. Roll my eyes and move on

treaclesoda · 22/03/2018 20:18

I think it is by far and away the most important political issue of my lifetime. It's like we are going backwards in terms of women's rights. And it's terrifying.

It's even more terrifying that so many women seem to think it's boring.
