Liberal feminists are extremely feminist and do a lot of work for women and children. They do not centre men.

@WorraLiberty I totally get what you’re saying, do you think this is the case on mn though? I’m not saying this to challenge you, you raise a very good point

Poor spelling and grammar means you didn't pay enough attention at school

Dogs are smelly and annoying

London is overrated

Even the childless ones whose tax money pays for other people's kids' education and welfare state?

Yes, if only to underline the false equivalence some people draw between pets and children. Grin

It's not very clever to make assumptions about people based on one aspect of their life.

@annevonkleve and I believe in Glasgow it’s to establish your religion

This is one of the very few reasons I’m glad I’m from Dundee-we only have 1 fee paying school and religion is not the dividing issue it is in parts of the west! (Very careful as to how I’m wording this!)

@littlepattilou

Ooooh, great thread, I am coming in very late, but will read through it all soon.

Here's mine...

Women should not have babies past the age of 42.

No-one on mumsnet earns more than £100K a year. (A few people do in real life, like just under 5% of the population, but no-one on here does...)

At least 50% of what people post on mumsnet is made up, or exaggerated.

No 'career' deserves special treatment, or for people to be 'in awe' of them. They chose it and they get paid for it. And they shouldn't be getting money off stuff, and special concessions either.

No-one should ever receive tips. Not since the minimum wage came in (in the late 1990s.)

Brexit is one of the best things to happen to the UK, even if we can't see that yet, as the E.U. are nothing but a bunch of passive aggressive, manipulative control freaks. And they cannot BEAR it that we have our own minds, and have had the audacity to leave them (and take our £1.2 billion a month with us.)

Controlled immigration is good. For EVERY country. Including ours. And everyone coming in should be financially solvent, OR have a legitimate profession they can offer us.

Prosecco is shit.

Mrs Brown's Boy is brilliant.

Lots of women are actually happy to be stay-at-home-mums, (and to have their DH be the main breadwinner,.) And many have no desire to have a 'career.' Women 'having it all' is utter bollocks. It's untenable for 99% of women.

Veganism is bullshit. Not possible long-term for most people, and not the best thing for most peoples health.

Being a homeowner/mortgage owner does not make you any better than people who rent.

Finally, someone having a different opinion to you does not make them a bad person or 'nasty' or 'awful.' Anymore than YOUR opinions make you a 'nice' person! So do grow up. Smile

I agree with all of that apart from Prosecco and Mrs Brown's Boys. The former is lovely and the latter is an insult to comedy.

Edinburgh has 25% participation at private schools so it not such a surprising question

That's funny @JudgeRindersMinder as I'm from Aberdeen but my parents are from Dundee and I remember being at the park beside my granny's and two girls asking me if I was catholic or prodestant. I asked them what they meant and they said it means which school you go to! I had no idea what they were on about! So in my head I always thought it was quite a big thing in Dundee!

SkinnyMinnieee · 03/01/2021 15:41

But if you’re capable of doing a £150k job, why would you want to settle for ‘bog standard’?

Some people don't want the stress.

@wherewildthingsare

I don't care for attachment parenting. I'm not carrying my baby 24/7. I'm certainly not sharing a bed with said baby. I don't care for organic clothes, wooden toys that cost a fortune. I am not wasting £200 on a second hand tiny wooden ladder for baby to climb on probably completely ignore and I am not making organic purees from scratch or baby led weaning

I am not buying my dc second hand clothes . I love disposable nappies and wipes( not cleaning up shit all day)

Also I don't care for breast feeding

yep, these completely

Men should have equal rights and choices in the care of their unborn children

not a chance in hell
women are not incubators with no rights
a mans say ends when he did....

Women worked in WWI and WWII they were the engines of the economy and took on what had previously been regarded male roles

And were smartly sent back to the kitchen as soon as peace was declared.

London is awesome but I value my respiratory health.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 03/01/2021 15:42

Processed produced in a factory food:
Chicken nuggets
Ginsters
Sausage rolls
Processed meats
Fish fingers

From chicken that wasn't grown in a laboratory, unlike Quorn
Ginsters pasty - meat and vegetable filling
Sausage rolls - usually made from pork. Fresh meat. From a farm. Not a laboratory.
Fish fingers. From fish that used to swim in the sea.

Vegan/vegetarian diets are a recipe for malnutrition or fussy/babyish eaters just disguise themselves with this label because it suits them.

Barton10 · 03/01/2021 15:43

Your husband/partner does have a right to be upset if you never have sex and have small children sleeping in bed with you. You shouldn’t be surprised when they have affairs.

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 03/01/2021 15:43

What school did you go to. ➡️in Glasgow it’s to establish your religion. Yes. Are you a billy or a Tim?
In Edinburgh what school, genuinely means what private school
