To stat a new “Unpopular Opinions” thread?

Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

gosh I wish I was as noble as you

Not all kids need a diagnosis to escape the fact that they're just a nasty little shit.

And transwomen do everything to be as feminine as they can, they embrace every aspect of it which many natural women do not

If you find men more feminine than women then I suggest your understanding of femaleness is somewhat lacking. Penises are never feminine.
A woman (an actual woman) with short hair, no makeup, dungarees and clumpy shoes is a million times more feminine than a man in a dress; and I doubt she cares if you fancy her or not. She doesn’t fancy you, either.

Feminine, and being female ≠ a dress, makeup and wig.

Yes! I’ve been saying this for years and everyone behaves like m blasphemous.

If a man likes to watch male genitalia wank that’s gay or bisexual. If a man has sex with someone with male genitalia that’s gay or bisexual.

It’s not straight. It’s really not that deep just men don’t like to admit it 😅

Yes, and some naughty children isn't down to ADHD.

My (horrible) neighbour told me the other day her 3, nearly 4 year old has ADHD. Flipping diagnosis isn't done til they hit school as far as I know and average age is about 6? It was her excuse for her shocking parenting, am certain of it. I don't understand parents who wish to label their children with a learning disorder, surely it's a slap in the face for those children and parents who are genuinely struggling to get help when it's badly needed and help thin on the ground?

Had she said she 'suspected' her daughter had ADHD, then I may have thought was more reasonable.

Donald Trump is the second coming of our saviour. He actually secretly turned down the Nobel Peace Prize because he is so humble. His orange glow is from the warmth of his humanity. He only appears in the Epstein files as a heavenly apparition.

Lol, I think you need to stop the drugs 😂

Absolutely. My 93 year old neighbour, having had a couple of strokes, fell and hit her head. Laid there on the floor for hours. Taken into hospital, subdural haematoma, aspiration pneumonia. Stuffed full of antibiotics, now in 24 hour nursing care unable to walk, talk or speak.
Visiting a busy local A&E last year, I counted 12 tiny frail elderly people on trolleys jn the corridor, all on oxygen, waiting to be seen. By the time we left, 10 hours later, there were about 5 more.
Utterly shameful 😡

If nobility is not being a cunt to people of other races and ethnicities because of their race or ethnicity, then nobility is a good thing to aim for. Go for it.

Meanwhile I was thinking "I'll have some of what they are on."

Marilyn Monroe was a terrible actress.

Yay!

@TheNightingalesStarling gets the prize for the first person to be criticised for their unpopular opinion 👏👏👏

Another from me. Cider is made from apples... just apples.

Pear cider...that's Perry aka babycham.
Fruit cider that's country wine.

Magners and strongbow should also be banned for abuse of the name cider...cider with ice is wrong in so many ways, but a slice of lemon is completely acceptable

😂😂😂

Not true (which again I know will not be popular on mumsnet).

Transwomen embrace femininity to the nth degree, as a straight male it's very attractive.

Not necessarily. Men - usually very young men - having sex with other men for money aren't necessarily gay. Sometimes, like women - sometimes gay women who have sex with men for money - they feel it's their best way to get food in their belly.

Getting off on other men in porn I agree with though. That is literally sexually getting off.

Behave

Idris Elba is neither that talented, nor that attractive. I can only assume the Bond rumours were started by his agent, as he has all the charisma and look of a high street accountant to me.

Truffle is over used. Can I not just enjoy scrambled eggs without the musky ball sack aroma of truffle?

Most people, when you scratch the surface, are really not very nice.

It's probably been said and I haven't RTFT but my unpopular opinion is that women are our own worst enemies. I know there are a billion reasons for it but it's no less true.

So you have never met a transwoman and not known they were a transwoman?

Anticipating response: "Oh no I've clocked them straight away"

I'm going to repeat this (as I'd love to hear anyone try and counter it, you won't), it's delusional to think transwomen are not passable or attractive to straight men. The fact is many transwomen are told to be honest about their status before they become intimate with men; if they were not passable or able to attract straight men then having to be honest (or come clean) wouldn't be a thing, their status would be known, but obviously that is not the case.

I would say that my unpopular opinion is that men who want to tell other people about their porn habits are creepy ... but, no, I actually do not think that is a particularly unpopular opinion at all...

If you’ve lived a completely normal life including job, relationships, children, independence, etc, you are not autistic and shouldn’t be clogging up the waiting list just for validation.

You’re making it harder for people with real autism to get support and services. Selfish selfish selfish.

Masking doesn’t exist. If you can choose to look non-autistic then you’re not autistic.

Most people with late diagnosed autism actually have a personality disorder.

These are my opinions based on my experience as someone diagnosed back when you actually had to have symptoms.

Almost agree about xl bullies.. I have one. Was given as a puppy told he was a staffy (yes I’m stupid I don’t know dog breeds) he has never shown aggression but I’m really wary and scared he could turn at any moment. Can’t rehome and feel awful putting down as he hasn’t done anything. I almost wish it was law and taken out of my hands.

I find men on Mumsnet generally as tiresome as they are in life.
