Glad he’s got his priorities right in the middle of a pandemic. He’s really, really want to see mumsnet closed down and has a fair following - even been on telly

He is such an obsessive saddo.

Always, always Mumsnet Hmm

exLtEveDallas · 16/04/2020 18:15

Yep it really is. Dr Christian is another pervy woman hater.

Theflushedzebra · 16/04/2020 18:15

Oh good for Arla Smile

Always admire companies who won't capitulate to bullies.

izzywizzygood · 16/04/2020 18:16

So he wants to close down a female orientated site and all its many voices.... yes, he definitely hates women. Loves stirring hate doesn't he by the looks of things.

@WotchaTalkinBoutWillis

are you being serious right now?

Sexism might be one of the main causes of more women doing the household shopping. However stating the quantifiable fact that that’s the case is not in and of itself sexist in any way. And I too, take issue with the, ‘oh my husband is so dumb, he can’t do any of the shitwork/wifework’ line of thinking.

But that has precisely nothing to do with biological fact, nor the fact that being pro-women’s rights and protections, pro-biological and scientific fact as opposed to superstitious magical thinking, and pro-freedom to state that which is undeniably truth and not be censored for it, makes one ‘transphobic’ (a ridiculous term in any case, when one dissects it properly).

If you really can’t understand that, well, then I’ve certainly wasted my time writing this paragraph.

TopShelf · 16/04/2020 18:17

How can a doctor spout this sort of stuff and not get struck off?

I remember when the BMA had standards, those days are gone now unfortunately.

YogaFaker · 16/04/2020 18:18

The fact is Mumsnet is viewed as transphobic. You can claim until you're blue in the face that it's not, it's still viewed that way

Could somebody please point me to the widespread transphobia on MN?

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 16/04/2020 18:18

Oh thats funny

Harrops ‘evidence’ was probably what put arla off listening to him anymore

Melroses · 16/04/2020 18:19

Dr Christian is another pervy woman hater.

I always thought he was supposed to be a naice chap, until I saw him on The Wright Stuff saying that it was fine for 12 year old girls to be married off if it was abroad - 'culture' and all that.

Then I started reading his twitter.

Some people are not very nice on twitter.

Apologies - just been reminded by reading upthread that this was a tweet.

The Wright Stuff was where he was advocating the use of porn for sex education in schools.

Yesterdayforgotten · 16/04/2020 18:23

What a waste of space! We are in the middle of a pandemic and he is coming out with that; how utterly unconstructive and especially for a doctor too! Maybe he has been told YABU and is scarred Hmm yes I think doctor campaigner has been here before!

Exactly, regardless of whether you believe it is or isn't, you can't get away from the fact that that's the reputation it's got.

AnyFucker · 16/04/2020 18:26

Oh dear, how embarassing for Ade. Dick move, boyo 😀

BackseatCookers · 16/04/2020 18:27

He won't go near Kiwi Farms as he'd be taking on the men.

This.

The equivalent of abusive partners who are violent then say 'it's not my fault, I lost my temper' then when asked why they seem to be able to help it when dealing with adult men or people at work who pay them, they suddenly can control it.

And their answer is of course 'it's only YOU who makes me this angry'. It's the anti-MN brigade in a nutshell.

Pro women doesn't mean anti trans.

My trans friends detest the doctor and people who bully and goad like him. They make life more difficult for the majority of trans people who are perfectly reasonable and don't hate women.

Funny the most vocally aggressive trans women do hate women. So much so, god knows why they want to be called women at all.

Sleepingbunnies11 · 16/04/2020 18:27

@Melroses @exLtEveDallas ewww the fact he hates women makes the fact he fronted such shows as ‘supersize v super kinky’ and ‘((whatever that show was about hating your body???))‘ even creepier

MIgZig · 16/04/2020 18:27

Oh gosh, is it that dreadful man who had a hissy fit on National TV when debating with Posy Parker? One would think (and hope) he'd be busy looking after sick people than spreading his hatred of women under a thinly veiled coating of concern for those identifying as trans.

BlackSwan · 16/04/2020 18:28

phobic? as in fearful of trans people?

I don't get it.

This person is a loser.

Sleepingbunnies11 · 16/04/2020 18:28

Embarrassing bodies!*

And super skinny*. Although in these lockdown times I might pitch my first idea to channel 4....

Ninkanink · 16/04/2020 18:29

In addition, @WotchaTalkinBoutWillis, empirical evidence matters. Being able to properly analysis it matters. Just because it doesn’t sound good doesn’t mean it’s not true and valid. Stating quantifiable fact does not mean you agree with the relevant possible cause(s).

A ‘significant majority’ does not mean ‘all’.

Do you understand that?

I’m as feminist as they come. So if you want to start trying to engage in feminist argument, let’s see what you’ve got. But before I engage any further with you I want to know that you are capable of intelligent analysis.

MissHoskins · 16/04/2020 18:29

Yogafaker
It's very unfortunate but some people view statements such as Woman =Adult Human Female and Human beings cannot change sex as transphobic.
Dr Harrop is a thoroughly unpleasant little man and he's a definite woman hater.

BovaryX · 16/04/2020 18:30

The fact is Mumsnet is viewed as transphobic

The fact is we are in the midst of a global pandemic which has put the planet on house arrest. One would have thought that an NHS doctor would have more important priorities at this time than trying to shutdown mumsnet.

Ikeasucks · 16/04/2020 18:30

Wotcha

mumsnet and it’s members gets targeted and called all sorts- especially by men and male groups. That’s you they’re talking about, it must all be true right? If the men say so

I would!!

Bold fail

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 16/04/2020 18:32

Do you understand that?

Why the patronising tone just because you don't agree with what I'm saying?
You can get your point across without making out I'm 5 years old and daft to boot, just as I have a differing opinion you know.
