How many mums really follow American politics?

[ramblingfool]

OR are just amused by American politics?

Not singling out anyone. This forum is called Mumsnet not Dadsnet, so the question was for a specific audience.

You’re wrong and sexist - many are interested in US politics.

Maybe you mix with the wrong type of people. Most people I know talk about a whole range of topics, and their gender doesn't define it. Our gender or sex doesn't represent our interests!

Men don't do the IMPORTANT thinking, that is why they think of politics so much.

Why American politics in particular? Why not all politics or whatever?

How many men really know what they're talking about? Or are just amused by their own ego?

So the IMPORTANT thinking is gossip?

MN is full of stupid threads atm.

Some take a quizzical look at some of the threads on here, others take them very seriously. I guess those who take them very seriously think they are "stupid."

Summer holidays. Reads like a 15 year old.

A) I was being ironic and
B) you've just undermined your own thread.

Do you not have a golf course to be on or something?

Don't be so surly, sheesh ;)

Just doing what it says on the tin. <<slow handclaps increasingly banal thread>>

You’ll strain your silly little lady brain and bring on hysteria. Best to just watch Loose Women and rock back and forth.

Awww, I love twattery on MN. All part of life’s tapestry.

I know social media is a waste of time but this thread really does it

Well at least the op's user name is accurate.

That's the attitude 😉

😆

The wrong kind of people? FFS!

Why not just start a thread on US politics and see if anyone knows anything about it, you might be surprised.

Men in conversation: sports and politics
Mums in conversations: kids and gossip.

Lazy trolling stereotyping klaxon alert

I think you are right. I used to be very interested in politics and sports, then my husband impregnated me and once I had my child, literally as soon I gave birth, I put down the politics section of the paper and picked up Hello magazine. Maybe the act of giving birth releases all the politics and sports hormones?

You are right, I should never have labeled men as only interested in sports and politics.
