www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/8407597/Mumsnet-is-run-by-Jim-Davidson.-Hows-that-for-a-conspiracy-theory.html

read on to see the paragraphs about Mumsnet - some contentious stuff indeed.

Contentious??

Thought it was a joke!

wasn't that funny though was it

basically he thinks we are all appalling, 'billious' women who fail the sisterhood so much that we must actually be misogynist Jim Davidson.

Webb writes in the style of a pretentious fifth former who has swallowed a thesaurus.

so, what he is saying is that there is no consensus on the 'right' advice? Because we are all...individuals? And that's bad? Think he needs to rescue his mate from that dire 'political satire' show and go make funny.

he has described EVERY other parenting forum about, not MN. I havent found the perfect parenting brigade on MN yet - is there even one to find?!

He actually posts on MN, username "stubbornhubby" I am given to understand

Robert Webb does?????? Does he?

webb is stubbornhubby? he's pita

cat, is that right?
(this was done yesterday btw, on feminism, i think...)

oooh il look out for that poster.

what a shite article. shock news. get a load of women together (on an internet forum) and they, erm, have different opinions.

i think that was the point.

keep the sisterhood divided by putting them all in one place and chucking in the ff/bf bomb. keep the patriarchy alive and kicking, and all that.

stop them joining together as one voice and overthrowing the menz.

y'know.

a conspiracy theory.

but i'm gald there's another thread, because once again i get to say:

'we are all individuals!'

I can't be the only person who just did a search on 'stubbornhubby'

i don't think it's him if it is, it's a little weird to 'out' him isn't it??

maybe we should ask

and yes i searched too now feel mean for saying it wasn't funny

oh i lmao at the article

I am Robert Webb.

No I am Robert Webb

The MN reference - mildly amusing. Yes, we're just like a right wing twat of a comedian .

The rest of the article - all over the bloody shop. What is he on about? Parisien tunnels? Princess Di? Lager anecdote? Stream of conciousness bollocks of the most irritating kind.

Great advertising for mumsnet. If anything, it will draw people in for a nosey! And, once in they'll be hooked like me!:)

I know headmasters and retired soldiers who make more convincing feminists than some of the women who take bilious swipes at each other on the Mumsnet forum.

This did make me laugh actually (and is a little bit true)
