I don’t want to ‘fix a crown’

[Singlebutmarried]

Just that really

I don’t see the point in attacking someone on line.

I really don’t.

Surely we should just think before we post stuff.

Would we find it hurtful? If so. Don’t post.

I have been tagged in this - 4 times.

I haven’t responded.

I don’t copy and paste posts and I don’t do the “hilarious” raising awareness of breast cancer ones where you get the PM.

I am basically a miserable bitch who posts pictures of her cats.

"Why do we need to be reminded not to be horrible to/about other people online?"

Because so many people are and if they don't start it, they'll wade in, or like a negative comment.
As blancheduboiss has done by branding them as shallow. Men who don't like women see us insulting each other as a green light, they then take it to the point were we are having our genitals insulted. You'll still get women joining in, who don't seem to get that it isn't just this woman who he is attacking , it's all of us.

TBF, I don't think many of them need a green light from women.

So glad I don't know what any of this is about.

jane 😂😂

For people who don't know what OP is talking about

It's ridiculous and the exclusionary nature 'I only tagged people who are fun... no offence' just screams bitchiness anyway!

Post about how to be a good friend to someone going through a mental health crisis; about social withdrawal or about how to recognise the signs of Depression in loved ones if you want to do something for people who feel as unwell as Caroline did!

No crown fixing here either despite being tagged three times on fb.
It has a bitchy undertone .

Blanchduboisse didn’t say every woman who posts a selfie, just suggested that the ones taking part in this maybe are. Which I would tend to agree with! I’m not on Facebook for exactly this reason! I don’t want to be bombarded with insincere nonsense!

It sounds like a sort of chain letter. And just as pointless.

I am delighted not to have been tagged in any. My crown is fine thanks and I don’t need anyone telling me I look pretty to make myself feel better.

My crown is also fairly OK, but I can't deny a tiny feeling of being not one of the cool girls having seen about 6 or 7 on my timeline without having been tagged in any of them. It doesn't really matter but definitely illustrated to me how harmful they could be to some people.

Awww but hun, real queens fix each others crowns...

Vom

I too thought this was about dentistry. (Pootles off to find posts which are about people's experience with dental crowns...)

I haven’t been tagged on this or seen it on Facebook at all. Obviously not crown worthy which I’m pretty thankful for

I’ve been tagged once, but the majority of my FB friends know I’m a miserable cow who wouldn’t be arsed with it. I’m unsurprised at the one who tagged me in it though.

Pastaforfun-yours isn’t that bad - the one I saw said “don’t be offended if I haven’t tagged you -I just tagged those who would make it fun”.

I wouldn’t have been offended by not being tagged. I was offended by being called ‘not fun’.
Although tbf I wouldn’t have copied it so maybe she had a point.

I haven’t been tagged once! I suspect that tells you what you need to know about me...

I think things like this lose impact when it becomes something to scroll past. Can't remember when I first saw the 'fixing crowns' idea, but it was a while ago. I liked the sentiment of solidarity expressed through that metaphor, but now it appears to have become a commandment.

I think using a troubled woman's death to try and make yourself out to be a "gorgeous", "kind" queen emphasises the lack of crown in the first place. Why make such a show of it on facebook? Who is it helping?

Someone tried to make the whole #bekind thing go viral. Which it did, but did anyone with mental health issues (massively me) benefit from any of it? because all it's doing is pissing me off.

It all sounds dental to me anyway - which is actually preferable!

is every woman that posts a selfie shallow, then

Inviting people to judge how you look can be considered anything other than shallow?

@MrsBrentford - Can we be friends?! You sound like me! Are you sure you're not me??

Ps I'm not fixing anyone's crowns on FB; I'm not hashtagging anything. But I do have a recipe I want to try out for Biscoff Millionaire Shortbread, and the hairdresser today happened to have a jar of the Biscoff spread which we were chatting about. So tomorrow, they're getting some of my baking. Which I figure is a kinder thing to do than #hashtagging on FB.

What do crowns have to do with women?

Is it a princess reference?

I've not heard of this before either!

I’ve ignored every tag but if I get one more of these I’ll think I’ll explode .

I just can't see how this changes the situation at all. It will be a 9-day wonder and people will still be trolling and posting nasty comments.

I think one of the problems is people posting pictures of themselves and people replying telling them how gorgeous they are. People should derive their esteem from who they are and the qualities of their character, not from what others think about their looks.
