Dawn Butler has reported Mumsnet as a whole to the police, for talking to each other and Having Views she does not like.
Mumsnet is currently trending on Twitter.
What rebels we are, having views.

Giraffes...

"Butler, Labour’s shadow women and equalities secretary, said that people think children can be “taught to be gay” but that “giraffes are gay… you cannot teach it”.

“If you can teach gayness, who speaks giraffe?” she said at the PinkNews Awards on October 16."

A little disappointed that we're over 400 posts in and nobody has suggested a rebel alliance ?

Is it Darth Butler or Dawn Vader ?

Follow the money.
Dawn Butler accepted £46, 700 in donations from Anthony Watson of GLAAD in order to push self-identification of sex.

She is doing what she's been paid to do by Watson.

Angela Eagle accepted more than £100K from Watson.

Blimey follow the money indeed

Have we thought of crowd funding a few K to pay Labour to embrace reality and equality for women?

I mean, if it's a case of no actual integrity themselves but just being a walking mouth for whoever's handed them cash?

This thread is the absolute best of Mumsnet. What a pleasure and a privilege it would be to be locked up with all these witty, wise, capable women.

@Froodwithatowel - speaking of crowd funding, are we going to start one so we can get the amazing Ben Cooper to defend us?

SnowRoomAtTheInn · 22/12/2023 11:08

I think they’ve built flats on Holloway.

We could ask for our own wing in Pentonville? I mean, it’s a crumbling Victorian shithole a do-er upper, but good central location and the fact that’s it’s a men’s prison shouldn’t matter in this day and age, surely?

M-Block has a nice ring to it.

Zimunya · 22/12/2023 11:10

Ah, just gone over to the thread that @ArabellaScott started, and see that they're already on to Ben Cooper. Excellent! I'd love to see him question Dawn Butler.

I mainly lurk, but am posting out of solidarity. And also a nice rest inside would be perfect, as I am currently recovering after moving flat.

Replace a bit of the flour for the shortbread with cornflour. I know Mary Berry has some in her recipe., because she said so the other day on the telly.

I expect giraffes, like other male mammals, mount each other to show dominance. I saw some male alpacas doing this very thing last week on the telly. Dawn is clearly easily confused.

Edited

I've just remembered that gay giraffes were mentioned by the Oliver Reed character in Gladiator. Maybe that's where she got the info.

ArabellaScott · 22/12/2023 11:13

Gosh imagine my surprise to find out that Dawn's informant (since deleted his account) turns out to be an anti-feminist misogynist.

He sounds choice, I must say. Doesn't seem to like women being competent and educated. No wonder he likes Dawn.

There are hordes of frothing menz on Twitter calling for mumsnet to be shut down for ‘far right hate speech’ lol.
it’s like the Salem witch trials on there.

Can you link, I'd love a laugh at those pathetic men having a paddy

SnowRoomAtTheInn · 22/12/2023 11:17

Is Tom the type of voter you’re going for then, Dawn?

Froodwithatowel · 22/12/2023 10:56

To be fair, MN has always got up the little noses of frothy men, but it's been because MN was the place where women helped other women to escape coercive control, and that included the specific woman that said frothy man was living his best life coercing.

Women saying 'no' to men, I mean where will it end? #theservicehumansarerevolting

Next big issue: can I take my air fryer to Holloway? Because I'm still trying to figure the damn thing out, and no one else in this house will do any cooking if I don't.

Well said.

Gender ideology is just a societal form of coercive control of women driven by MRA men who identify as 'progressive' (progressing towards the Taliban as far as their ideas of women go). All the not being allowed to use normal words like 'mother' and common usage sex based pronouns, all the forcing women to walk on eggshells etc. Trying to get women fired for recognising science.

Bloody love Mumsnet, witty women discussing politics and having a laugh at the same time. You know, being independent humans with their own opinions.

It really brings the misogyny out. It's a bit like a massive nit comb for misogyny (yes, my children have recently had nits).

I bet the frothing men on twitter don't have the good snacks, crustless quiches and massive salads. And I hope their Mums (almost certainly GC, you need impressive levels of self deception abilities to go through the biology of childbirth and not be) get them to make their own Xmas dinner this year.

SnowRoomAtTheInn · 22/12/2023 11:31

@pronounsbundlebundle

Maybe Elon Musk could use that as the new Twitter X strapline: ‘Your very own misogynist nitcomb’

For Dawn & Tom

Little Dumber Boy

Come he told me
Tom Tom Tom-Tom-Tom-Tom

Spewed forth his misogyny
Tom Tom Tom-Tom-Tom-Tom

The Mums are Na-ah-zis
Tom Tom Tom-Tom-Tom-Tom

I need to call the police!
Tom Tom-Tom-Tom-Tom

(Sorry, Mum)

WellOwlBeDamned · 22/12/2023 11:52

The frothy men are always keen on a bit of sucking off by women all the same so we could form a reindeer/Mner hurricane around them and hope they get sucked off the planet

Gosh I am surprised. Were you surprised? I was surprised.

GrimDamnFanjo · 22/12/2023 12:38

At first I thought Dawn meant me and the naughty sisters over on FWR - but she didn't did she? She specifically said Mumsnet - so that's all of us!
They're going to need a bigger boat...
