This is quite ghastly and a bit cringe. I get the point the creator is making and I don't doubt the wit or sincerity in intention, but I have to say YABU for sharing this 'content' verging on clickbait.

Winesalot · 03/08/2020 17:33

I particularly relate to the 'age theory'.

DialSquare · 03/08/2020 17:46

I think it does a good job of summing up how ridiculous Gender Ideology is.

YANBU

Grumblyberries · 03/08/2020 17:48

Or maybe YABU. I can't work out the double negatives.

I agree. A man cannot become a bat.

Lazuli can become a bat!
PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 03/08/2020 17:59

YANBU.

Unless he's Dracula, & then he can also be a wolf, but that isn't as easy to rhyme. 🦇 🧛‍♂️.

This bat identifies as a human

I thought it was excellent!

notacooldad · 03/08/2020 18:06

Oh no! Typo in my post.
Obviously it was meant to say Lazlo Cravensworth!!

Totickleamockingbird · 03/08/2020 18:08

Grin Awesome!

I love clever wordplay and rhymes. This guy is very talented.

Ellisandra · 03/08/2020 18:14

I only got half way through - repetitive, isn’t it?
I’m not convinced by the usefulness of his line, that a man doesn’t know what it means psychologically to me a woman.
We’re not a homogenous sex.
I’m a woman, I don’t know what it means “psychologically” 🙄 to be all the other women around me.
So that’s a lazy argument in my opinion.

Grumblyberries · 03/08/2020 18:29

I think that's his point though, isn't it? There's nothing 'psychological' about being a woman. It's just to do with biology, and all the psychology/personality/interests is different for everyone

JamieLeeCurtains · 03/08/2020 18:33

I daresay he has the right to want to be a bat.

Winesalot · 03/08/2020 19:10

I think the entire point that a male can ‘feel like a woman’ is well worth pointing out. Because it is a ‘male’s interpretation’ of woman based on nothing but stereotypes. Is it to indulge a fetish? Is it to escape being associated with being ‘male’? Or is it that they simply don’t feel male so they believe they must feel like a woman. Either way, it is very relevant because the only thing that make me ‘feel’ like a woman is the fact I have a female biology as I don’t subscribe to stereotypes. A biology that they will never have.

InfiniteSheldon · 03/08/2020 19:16

Not sure how to vote but
A man can't become a bat or a woman and this was funny and topical, no disrespect to anyone who wants to wear clothes they think appropriate to the other sex or have surgery to change their appearance that's their prerogative as an adult human but they won't be able to change their sex or ever know what is to actually be the other sex.

KingOfDogShite · 03/08/2020 20:39

Men definitely can not become bats. Or women.

MNnicknameforCVthreads · 03/08/2020 20:40

YANBU

Clever and entertaining video.

TrickorTreacle · 03/08/2020 21:56

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet...

BlackeyedSusan · 03/08/2020 22:08

It is all over MN already.

I wonder if there will be a reappearance of the mumsnet bat?

Binterested · 03/08/2020 22:22

It's been many a long year since I saw the MN bat. Who was the keeper of the bat and where have they gone?

And no, OP, YANBU. It's a really good piece I think. Clever and clearly very aware of all the nonsense behind all this.

Batman is not a bat;
He is a man
Dressed as a bat.

Batmen are men. #NODEBATE
