AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

This indecision's bugging me

@sluttybutty they’re snowflakes. Everything has the potential to offend or trigger.

HairFullOfSecrets · 14/06/2018 17:18

@niugboo you're right. But it's one of the most amusing examples of hypocrisy.

Please, put that picture of your breakfast in the comments! Meanwhile here's a picture of my cervix for you to look at.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:20

Can everyone stop posting pictures of Nutella please? It's triggering me.

Even though I got a Nutella tatoo today (its hidden under my trousers).

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:20

@hairfullofsecrets think I just peed.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:22

HairFullofSecrets people post pictures of their cervixes- is that the plural on cervix?

Sheila had a cervix.
Sheila's friends put all of their cervixes on display.

Hmm, doesn't sound tight.

OtherUsername · 14/06/2018 17:27

Hopefully the picture attaches...

Cervices?

HairFullOfSecrets · 14/06/2018 17:29

@TattyFrench apparently the plural of cervix is cervixes or cervices, but the plural of vulva is vulvae.

An example of use in a sentence:

Members of SANP would regularly post pictures of the vulvae, and cervices while insisting that photos of toast could be triggering .

This thread has slid downhill faster than Nutella on a hot spoon.
In doing so, it's risen in my estimation.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:32

Sheila Had A Cervix...

sounds like the perfect title for one of those adult Ladybird spoof books.

Speaking of which, my car's due a 20,000 mile interim cervix

fontofnoknowledge · 14/06/2018 17:35

I don't belong to Facebook. Real life, 7 kids, chickens dogs and cats is enough drama.
Give real life a whirl OP. It's relatively calmer and if people are unpleasant you can tell them to fuck off to their face. So far in my 57 yr history, this has been unnecessary.

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 17:38

How the fuck can you take a picture of your own cervix? Shock

Elspeth12345 · 14/06/2018 17:39

No cult ever recognized itself as a cult.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:41

I thought it might be more suited to a new song for Morrisey, he can just recycle 'Sheila Take a Bow'. I'll do it for him if he pays me.

If nothing else productive has happened today, I now know how to pluralise cervix and Villa. Although I did sell a chair and a picture so I feel I shouldn't hide my light under a bushel too much.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:43

How the fuck can you take a picture of your own cervix?

You need a womb with a view

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:46

If you pluralise a cervix, isn't that a form of reproduction?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 17:49

A womb with a view 😆😆

But isn't it kind of easy to take a picture of your cervix?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 17:51

With a selfiedick, maybe

BasilFaulty · 14/06/2018 17:52

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I'M EXCITED

eurgh · 14/06/2018 17:55

Selfiedick Grin

SluttyButty · 14/06/2018 17:57

Torn 👏🏻😂👏🏻

Tatty how? How, when to have a smear they have to ram a bloody speculum up there and then go digging. Is there some kind of fanny camera (other than that ultrasound wand thing they use in hospitals) that I know nothing about?

niugboo · 14/06/2018 17:58

Camera strapped on Terrence?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:05

I thought there must be a little app on my phone - Self Cervix App or something. I guess depending on the size, a smaller phone camera could be shoved up there? Or on a tampon? It would be like Spring Watch only Cervix Watch. I might pitch that to the BBC.
