Mums of sons. (Hard hat on for this)

Apologies for the grabby title. I've NC'd for this as I have a few running threads currently with very outing and personal details on.

Anyway back to the point.
I see SO many threads on here where the topic about the thread is about a guy. It's not even necessarily bad about the bloke in question, but so many many posters just seem to hate men. Not give them the benefit of the doubt. Tear them a new arsehole for merely posting on MN asking for advice. There was a thread recently about a woman seeing a really nice guy, a gentlemen as she described him where he had been separated for literally YEARS but wasn't divorced. Turns out there were cultural differences meaning divorce in that country is very rare. People kept saying 'throw him back in the sea' 'he's a liar' one poster called him a wanker.. there was no evidence that he was a wanker and the OP seemed happy with the guy. Just more people clutching for their moment to berate men. It's always the guys fault on here no matter what.

It's always the same posters more often than not berating men, shooting them down, and just hating them. I wonder, do these women posters have sons? If so, do you think your sons are exempt from such awful insults because 'my boy would never'? I can't imagine these posters talking about their sons like that. So do you pick and choose, is it one rule for your sons and one for all other men?

Before it labelled being 'cool' I have just got out of a 10 year abusive relationship where ex cheated multiple times to the point of police involvement. I am not naive to think some of these guys deserve what they get.

AIBU? To think there's huge double standards? To call strangers with no reason to, wankers, but to also think the son shines out of your son's arses?

I know I'll probably ruffle some feathers but I'd genuinely like to know. And yes I have DC.

Deleted again @Daniagainagainagainagain Such a shame after you put so much effort into a long passive-aggressive (nonsense) explanation about how you forgot to change your username back!

It’s not that anyone is super-invested (at least not to the extent of, oh I don’t know - making a sock-puppet account to chat to themselves…); it’s just that what you’re saying is a direct lie and yet you think you’re styling it out. This has already been explained to you: it’s impossible to post under different names on the same thread. You are doing it from different accounts. Not accidental. And quite sad.

Well, you are completely wrong. You can post under a different username from the same account. MN can clarify I only have one account. I will comment in a second with a different username to prove my point.

See, you're not so clever after all.

THIS IS BE POSTING FROM A DIFFERENT USERNAME FROM THE SAME ACCOUNT.

I'll go back to my other username after this comment. Just doing it to prove a point.

Now go away :)

OP sounds like a man. Quelle surprise.

Nope, very much female last time I checked!

Now if we could go back to the actual point of the thread that would be good, as there's some good points on both sides and it's getting lost with silly posts like this.

Nope. You’re posting from a different account.

That's really informative and a really good POV to the discussion.

The statistics for violence against women and girls is absolutely awful and it needs more traction for sure.

If you believe this, why start a thread designed to obfuscate the horror perpetuated by the class of men?

I thought your point was ‘It's always the same posters more often than not berating men, shooting them down, and just hating them.’

And yet you can’t name a single one.

Daniagainagainagainagain · 27/08/2024 12:30

@angeldelite it's actually not allowed..

But you can access many threads and see for yourself.
Someone has actually nominated themself on this thread. HTH.

How does it let you do that? I can't change names within a thread.

@BernardBlacksBreakfastWine no, I'm not posting from different accounts.

Op you clearly have special powers or you work for MN, I would suggest you continue the discussion entirely on your own as it appears you're fully capable of that.

Do let us know though if you get in a tangle with yourself and end up 'creaming your pants' in the process.
(Yuk, I can't even write that)

It's just a part of my app.

Glad that point about me allegedly posting from different accounts can be put to bed now.

I've no idea what the point is TBF. Something about mums of boys and op's ex getting busted by the feds for cheating.

AdviceNeeded2024 · 26/08/2024 15:27

Yes! I remember the thread about the orgies and I do remember rolling my eyes thinking if a man had posted the exact same dilemma how wildly different the responses would have been!

The whole thread was ridiculous. One poster said that taking part in orgies doesn't make you promiscuous. I don't know WTF she thought an orgy was - a group of strangers playing Scrabble together?

You can’t make TAATs but nothing stopping you naming names.

But you can’t name any because you have none.

It’s getting increasingly difficult to discuss anything with you @Daniagainagainagainagain because every other post of yours is deleted.

But that photo proves nothing. I can change my username too 😀 but not within a thread. HTH.

Daniagainagainagainagain · 27/08/2024 12:33

@angeldelite so you can't make a threat about another thread, but you can make a thread about another poster? Is that correct?

OP posts:
Daniagainagainagainagain · 27/08/2024 12:35

@BernardBlacksBreakfastWine

You go exit the thread you're on, you go onto the home page, go to my mumsnet, change your name, then go back to the thread and post. HTH, nice and easy baby steps for you. :)

You can give the names of people you think hate men (as you say ‘it‘s always the same posters more often than not berating men, shooting them down, and just hating them’)

You can’t name any because there are none.

Daniagainagainagainagain · 27/08/2024 12:40

@MNHQ can you please confirm that this username and also @obluuuuu and also @sarfwestlondonmassive are from MY account please. The same account.

As I accidentally posted with another username flicking through threads as I name change often and I'm being accused of posting through different accounts. I posted under @sarfwestlondonmassive as an accident as I name changed thinking I wouldn't be back to the thread. But here I am, and I forgot to change to the username I a have with this thread. I then changed to @obluuuuu to try and prove my point. All from the SAME ACCOUNT.

Hopefully that'll settle it.
Thanks.
