To resent the men disrupting feminist chat

[Angryresister]

It seems to me that Mumsnet used to be a place where women's and girls issues were named and talked about by clever witty women . Now we are being shouted down by [redacted on OP's behalf by MNHQ] which exists to deny women's reality. Good brave women are leaving as they are no longer able to talk about their concerns. So many women have become more aware of the issues here. I am angry that mumsnet are allowing this to happen

That thread was interesting to say the least .

I got what he was asking about is it ok to expect men to pay for first dates etc then he slowly went down hill along with the thread which ended up with random insults flying around including cleaning windows, silk painting etc

LuMarie Whats your explanation for the unsolicited PM i got

HelenaDove why on earth are you asking me?

This thread could turn interesting too

This is really worrying.

Hi. I saw your post on the following link:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2940882-To-want-a-shag

It has also been a very long time for me since I have had intimacy. I am looking to change that so I decided to look online if anyone felt the same.

I am a 29 year old guy, 6ft 2. I am caring a d not pushy. I was wondering if we could possibly talk and see if sex is something we could possibly pursue.

If you aren't interested I do apologise. I did not mean to annoy you. However if you are please message me and lets see how things go.

Woah! Sinister creep alert there Helena

See the choice of username bekindbenice And the day after the paying for dates thread.

Well LuMarie doesnt agree with you Shes just called me batshit on the other thread.

"Most of us don't care about transexuals" either.

It's not transexuals who pose a thread, mostly. It's men. But if you don't bother reading you won't (deliberately) understand.

threat, not thread, obviously.

Helena.

When did MN become a sleazy pick up joint?

When their user name is a famous rapist like Tarquin, I think they are announcing they are an MRA taunting the mods.

@Maryzsnewaccount

What, pose a threat to 'the conversation'?

This is the post Lu is referring to from an old thread from last year.

She is deliberately taking it out of context and trying to gaslight. FFS Lu the person who sent that message was hunting through old threads. You do realize that MNHQ can see the pms THEY know im not lying.

Its been 21 years since DH and i had a physical relationship. Hes never been in the best of health and he had a big heart attack in 2006 which has left him with permanent health issues. Hes not a huggy person so there is none of that either. Im ok with it most of the time but feeling a bit wistful at the moment. The feelings i have about it sort of come and go in peaks and troughs.
I did have a 4 year affair after seven years of no physical contact.
But DH has my back in lots of other ways.

i know i will be ok. Reading some of the threads about dating on the Relationships board have been a real help. As a reminder that im much better off as i am than on a dating scene where shaving off pubic hair, anal and multi dating (horrible American import) is the norm.

I'm a regular and was accused of being an MRA several times on a thread about access recently. So I'm feeling frustrated for the opposite reason. That I'm clearly not feminist enough for the loudest parts of MN. But I'm happy with my level of feminism.

My question was, why were you asking me about a pm you hadn’t even mentioned.

Stop with the gaslighting accusations

Please god will you stop talking about anal on every thread!

Stop taking it out of context. That is a copy and paste

headinhands is not the name of a famous rapist from literature.

Where the fuck have i talked about anal on every thread. I very rarely post about sex. Most of my posts are about social housing.....................ahhh GOT IT!

I find it kind of worrying, the dismissal of both the FWR boards and the concerns of long-time MN posters there who may come here for the opinions and/or reassurance from other women.

The Tristan chap posting 'over there' has proved himself to be a....concern to women ....as many of the males who post there prove to be. While I get that the "F" word really doesn't sit comfortably with some women I don't understand why there isn't more outrage at what is happening to other women who are defending the safety, privacy and dignity of your nieces, your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your selves.

HelenaDive received a very dodgy PM from an unknown looking for a shag. On Mumsnet.

How would you feel?
