“Transgender activists have contacted Mumsnet advertisers and said they will be organising a boycott of their products if they don’t remove their advertising from Mumsnet,” Roberts said.

“A significant minority of our users feel very strongly about women’s rights and very uneasy [about the proposals]. This is an issue that needs to be discussed and that’s why we’re prepared to take any potential advertising hit.”

At the risk of turning this thread into a Xenia love fest, I can also remember a very pithy bit of advice she gave on MN years ago: "Don't marry a sexist"

Yes, yes, it's not that simple, we don't think that they are sexist, or they aren't overtly sexist at first (maybe not until the kids come along), but as a four word touch stone for how to have a happier marriage, it can't really be beaten.

I want Dittany back.

And Lilka too but that's another board...

Thanks. I hope everyone can encourage each other on here and I continue to encourage women to aim for high pay.

I remember the £1000 a day thread too. I haven't made it that far, but it certainly encouraged me to say No to a lot of low-paid jobs (I'm freelance) in order to have time for the rarer ones that paid double per hour.

I reckon I owe you about £10k a year for that advice, seriously.

Thanks. Justine R. is just as much a role model of course, more so.
However some people really don't like to hear other women can earn a lot. We did have one poster on £1m a year - I think she was involved in share trading or something like that. Then there is the issue of MN reducing your income because you're too busy posting... another question again. I am sure my pyschiatrist family members have come across internet and playing computer games addictions - the latter uses the same bit of the brain as cocaine and alcohol reach Therefore better get back to my work......keeping twins at university is not cheap.

Well, yes (cough), I'd better get back to work too. But clearly MN advice is worth more per hour than, erm, actually doing the work.

Certain - I read a thread the other day and saw Lilka on it and had a little leap of joy...until I saw it was a zombie thread....

Thank you Justine . Adblocker removed.
