What are your unpopular opinions that most mumsnetters don’t agree with?

[Rosebush1245]

Curious to know what opinions you see constantly on mumsnet that you think “Am I the only person that disagrees with that!?”

You mean the man haters club? Too bad the world doesn't revolve around them 😆😆😆

So the state forces women to "take responsibility", but it's up to her, unwillingly pregnant and vulnerable, to make a man do the same, and if she can't, oh well.

Good to see the artifice stripped away from the forced birthers. It shows why women need this protection so badly.

Oh dear, your ignorance is showing.

Did someone upset you this morning? 😂

While I disagree with the GC and their belief system, I actively dislike the link between feminists and being a man hater.

Wanting equality is nothing to do with hating men.

Thank you!

Suspect Missy is more of a Mr.

Who on earth do you think are "the GC"?

I had actually typed that initially! 🤣 Two is definitely enough for me anyway.

None of what GCs focus campaigning on has any detrimental effects on (non trans) men whatsoever. The only people it hurts are trans people.

It has positive effects on women.

The only people who feel threatened by it are men who want everyone to pretend they are women.

And they tend to respond by making death threats towards us and proving our point about not wanting them in women's spaces.

Thank you for everyone’s answers. This was my original thread but I’ve name changed. I haven’t read through them all but doing it now!

My unpopular opinion is people that make everything a competition, SAHM vs Working mum for example.

How can you just say that being one or the other is harder. You’ve got no clue about someone’s financially, support system or their reasonings. A SAHM can be a woman who’s husband earns millions and have Nannie’s to help or a SAHM could be a woman who is sad she has missed out on her career path and doing so because her wage would just about pay for nursery’s fee’s - with a partner who always puts her down for “doing nothing at home”

If a SM is expected to treat a DSC "like their own", then that includes being able to dish out consequences for bad behaviour. If you won't tolerate bad behaviour from your own child you shouldn't be expected to tolerate it from someone else's no matter who their parents are.

Can't agree about the creeps, certainly the first two you mention. I find them both very hard to like.

The only people who feel threatened by it are men who want everyone to pretend they are women.

which is simply your transphobic way of describing trans women.
(oh btw your policies also seriously hurt trans men but don’t let that trouble you).

And they tend to respond by making death threats towards us and proving our point about not wanting them in women's spaces.

this is the equivalent statement of saying, for example, that Muslim people tend to respond to islamaphobia by blowing things up. Obviously disgraceful and not worthy of being taken remotely seriously.

Was just replying to another PP that I personally think two is enough but appreciate some want a big family - hence I wrote three DC is enough for these. Just trying to be a bit more reasonable in my unpopular view! 😂

For the same reason that some (many?) want a big family (or at least many want their child to have a sibling - as did I!), I don’t think one is. But I appreciate the arguments for one child, of course. Two seems like middle ground to me.

So women should be forced to continue a pregnancy against their will

Men get a ‘discussion’? That’s it? Why should they have no consequences if women should?

My niche opinion is that it's normal and fine to stay in a dull but functional relationship in order to have a pleasant and steady home life. Your kids really, really don't want you to separate to get fulfilling sex.

With many men (and some women) they think if you've in their words not mine "spread your legs" you should face the consequences. I've seen many anti-choicers say this on social media. They see pregnancy as a consequence and punishment (by their own admission) of that.

Everyday I hug my DC and tell them how happy I am that they are in my life.

Well, I'm a feminist and I'm not GC.

So the GC may be feminists but they certainly don't speak for all feminists.

I know. Anti-choice is definitely more accurate than pro-life.

Honestly if I knew someone that had abortion not to do with SA, not to do with any medical complications at all.... I'd definitely cut them out of my life.

I'm also anti giving people the choice to kill children outside of the womb if raising them is too tough

I think if you're referring to women who believe that female people exist and deserve to have sex based rights as "the GC", it is vanishingly unlikely that you are a feminist.

Feminism is, at its heart, inherently gender critical.
