This is quite easily the most repellent, self-serving, tone-deaf post I've read in my many years on Mumsnet. And believe me, it has some stiff competition.
This is a support site geared toward and mostly posted on by a female demographic. Violence against women and girls is at epidemic levels, as is easily borne out by statistical evidence. And it's perpetrated against women because we are women. Interesting that the inevidable 'some women do it too' defence - as predictable as NAMALT - has been trotted out in this very post. Quelle surprise, eh? These posters must have a guidebook somewhere. Needless to say, those points are so weak as to be risible.
On this occasion, a 78-year old, elderly woman, not in robust health (she had carers) has been murdered in cold blood in her own home. And all the indications so far are that the perpetrator was a man. Who'd have thunk it? What a bitter irony that Ann Widdecombe just became another statistic for Jess Phillips to read out in the HoC: a list of women murdered at the hands of men - and that's just the convicted ones - which typically takes upwards of TEN minutes to read out every year.
Cue the usual brand of poster coming onto a thread expressing its shock at yet another terrible murder of a woman at the hands of a man, to make it about their own (irrelevant to this case) political agenda, to tell women off, to inform them that VAWG isn't really a 'thing' - might as well argue grass is red on that particular point given the overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary - and to spout demonstrable lies that they are really the vulnerable demographic and it's women who are monsters.
Get fucking real.
As for this little gem: 'If you're reaction to people who disagree with you is to instantly brand them hateful bigots, then you're the bully in that scenario.
You are hilarious.
