I will start

Jo Swinson would have do a better job than Boris on Coronavirus

Big boozy weddings where everyone is dressed up having a whale of a time are brilliant. I'd hate a tiny wedding and I'm gutted that we might have to have one because of covid but that doesn't change how much I love my partner.

Cyclists and runners should be applauded for taking control of their health.

I find it bizarre that so many women seem happy to default to their male partner as the main earner.

Cis isn't offensive any more than being described as tall, short, blue eyed or blond is

It’s not the same because it’s not true. It means your ‘gender identity’ matches your body. I don’t have a gender identity so it’s imposing someone else’s idea about how I think about myself. I don’t care how anyone else measures themselves but I’m a woman because of my biology. No more no less.

Me not having any ‘inner feelings’ about my sex doesn’t make me any less female or trans or non binary or anything else.

There is nothing disgusting about eating in public. I don't understand how mumsnetters ever go out for dinner when the mere scent of food makes them instantly vomit.

Related: misophonia isn't an excuse to make everyone do what you want all the time.

Liking a particular type of alcohol isn't a personality trait.

It‘s biologically impossible to determine the sex of a fetus based on a blurry scan of a 12 week “nub“. Obviously the fake positive rate is 50% so half the time people who believe that drivel are correct.

When I was pregnant with one of my DC I was on consultant-led care and my particular consultant was doing some sort of research project and I was asked if I wanted to take part. I can't remember exactly what it was for but it involved checking some stuff at the 12wk scan, checking the stuff again at the 20wk scan, checking them at birth, and a small part of my placenta being kept and studied. After the sonographer had done my 12wk scan, the consultant came in to do the scan of the things he wanted to scan. We got a really good look between the legs because one of the things he was checking was the "nub". We asked if it meant girl or boy and (after checking we wanted to know) he told us what he thought DC sex was based on what he was seeing and that it was one of the things he would follow up on at the 20wk scan. At the 20wk scan he was right and when we got all the study bumpf through it showed, amongst other things, that he had a personal accuracy rate of something like 85%.

That was someone highly trained though and looking for specific markers using ultrasound, not Brenda on MN with a blurry photo and a nub that may or may not actually be a leg.

If you got cheated on by your husband and stayed with him, you didn’t ‘work through’ anything and you’re not ‘strong’.

You just got mugged off, behaved like a doormat and he’s lost respect for you. It’s only a matter of time before he does it again.

@MaddieElla

Yet you acknowledge some do have a medical cond but say its still a choice?
Even if it is a a choice then what...?

@SpnBaby1967

That being called a CIS woman is highly offensive.

I'm a woman, a biological female. End of. Dont need your stupid woke terms.

This is actually an incredibly popular mumsnet opinion.

I think what you have done here is outed your as a bigot.

I love dogs more than people and get really sad when their owners stop them from coming over to meet me.

I like Meghan Markle and think she's a much better role model than most royals, as is Harry.

DIY is boring drudgery and I'm happy for it to be men's work.

Yes...flavoured gin is not a substitute for a personality.

The climate emergency is just the natural continuation of our evolution

Couples can have the occasional argument or disagreement without it being abusive and having to LTB.

People need to take responsibility for their own health and stop expecting the doctor to give them a magic pill to fix everything, including being responsible for your weight (excluding a few genuine medical conditions) I don’t think there can be many conditions that a healthy weight, regular exercise, not smoking or drinking to excess is going to make worse.

Not everything revolves around children and their wants shouldn’t come first. I don’t mean their needs but the whole we can’t afford to fix the car because the dc wanted an Xbox and the newest iPhone.

Cats already think they rule the world, they just think we haven’t been trained properly as slaves.

Vegans have the right idea and anyone who loves animals wouldn’t eat them or cause cruelty to them.... I hate the I love animals so much yet eat KFC and battery chickens, if you love animals so much look into how they are raised and killed and see if you really do love them. Otherwise you are just conveniently forgetting the cruelty your conveniently packaged choices cause.

I'm not that bothered about SPAG.
I like my dog to sleep on the bed.
I kind of like woke teenagers and their desire to be tolerant and save the planet. Related one I think it's fine to raise your dc as vegans.

Now that we can read all the OP’s posts with a single click, joining a thread on page 13 and announcing ‘Haven’t read the whole thread, but...’ goes beyond rank arrogance and becomes laughable stupidity. The chances are that what you have to say wouldn’t have been that interesting on page two, never mind now - and if you can’t work out that saying ‘Surely you don’t expect me to read all that?’ whilst simultaneously adding to ‘all that’ is crass and arrogant, you need to get a new brain fitted.

If someone is an arsehole then they aren’t autistic or depressed, they’re just an arsehole.

‘Anyone else 5 weeks pregnant?’ Yes, have a look at the seventy billion other threads with the same title.

@pictish

Daughters in law are often selfish, petty, egotistical madams. They feel entitled to be in control of everything, imagine everyone else has to defer to them and they treat their mothers in law like shit. Mumsnet loves and supports them. I think they’re cunts.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I really do think some people set out to hate their MILs before they've even clapped eyes on them. some people enjoy having enemies

A snake is not a pet. A rat is not a pet. I've just seen a thread that somebody's ''pet'' snake has gone missing. For the love of God why on earth would you have a pet snake. There was a thread a while ago a woman said she had 12 pet rats. I can't remember what the thread was about, I think she had a rat for a husband as well, but in the name of all that is sane and natural, why on earth would you bring rats in to your house.

@Danu2021 what's the difference between having a snake and having a dog?

My Uni flat mate kept snakes, they were amazing and used to sit on our knees whilst we watched TV

Rats are amazing pets! I had few. So smart!😁

Also on those threads where people as "If you're a size 8 how tall are you and what do you weight?" I reckon about 90% of posters are liars. Because I can't figure out how someone who is 5 inches shorter than me and 2 stone heavier is a dress size smaller than I am.

If you choose to have a large family, any other lifestyle choices such as being vegetarian or not flying- are little more than damage limitation.

Just generally, it probably isn't as bad as all that.

Most things aren't really about you.

Choices vs innate is probably an overrated distinction.

I was controlled by my MIL but I agree with @pictish, I was predisposed to like her actually and wanted her to like me and I only felt stifled and controlled by her before I left her son.

It was a good experience really because it made me aware of how easily I was pressured in to things. I didn't know what boundaries were. I had none.

Now I realise that some people, with neurotic tendencies will hold themselves responsible for all conflict they have to navigate, and other people who take no responsibility for anything in a disordered determination to avoid their own inadequacies and their own shame will blame others for all conflict.

These two types don't line up with MIL or DIL.

So even though my xmil was a nightmare to me, I just see her now as being the second type of person and I was a bit too neurotic, I blamed myself for all conflict and got too upset.

I do read the endless MIL threads and think ''it's yourself you need to work on''
