what's this PO stuff all about? I have just read some really vile stuff on here....

[Portofino]

Women presumably who don't have a certain sense of humour, or don't agree with certain (long standing) posters being described as beige admin workers who nag their ugly husbands, who were friendless at school, wear cheap clothes, have no fun in their sad little joyless lives etc etc Literally paragraphs and paragraphs of nastiness.

This is some of the most vile and misogynistic stuff I have ever read on MN from other women. These kind of comments normally come from trolls and MRA invasions. Is this really what MN has become? Does everyone think that this sort of shit should stand? What happened to the fucking sisterhood?

I am astounded to be quite honest.

most of the folk on here could have joined that thread and would have been gladly welcomed.

The thing that those on that thread are pissed off about was the whole 'lets piss on someone else' for the fun of being humourless

Stop moaning and join in. Or if you are po don't and start a mean sniping thread about others trying to have a laugh. IIRC most of it was about Pags drinking Cipranhaahahaas in the Maldives. Hardly offensive

It doesn't matter whose lives it is. It was demeaning and insulting. And anyone on the thread who says " it's fine, this is MY life" cannot speak for everyone else whose life it is. Who feels bullied and insulted. Is that ok on MN now?

I have glitter [busmile]

I tried to put a bit more sugar on it than that Kansas but essentially "stop being a dickhead" covers it.

I have now seen and read this thread, which I'm assuming is the one you are referring to OP?
Thanks, it's fucking funny. [bugrin]

'i think if you're offended by that cp'd post it probably stuck too close to the bone.

Truth hurts, doesn't it.'

Yes and that's EXACTLY why it was horrible.

I don't have glitter but my DD do-does that count?

but Porto I don't understand. You are OK and not PO, so why be so brittle about it?

Do you mean I am being a dickhead by calling people on being misogynist and nasty?

Sauv it was funny and anyone could have joined. No one likes humourless fuckers which was what the thread was about.

Don't take the hump just because you didn't see it and get the chance to join the larks

Or that I am lovely really so should jut get with the programme?

Well I've read quite a few of the 1000 posts. Can't admit to reading every one because a lot of it is rather tedious but what does come to mind, putting that thread together with this one is some weird mumsnet version of stockholm sydrome. Just how far can some posters go and still get away with being 'funny'?

I am PO as in pissed off that MNetters refer to other MNetters like this.

Can we stop with the labelling people misogynist for finding any fault with any woman ever? It screams a bit of shouting "witch!" In the Middle Ages and somewhat shuts down discussion.

Perhaps that is the idea ...

Where is the other thread? - I want to be where the fun is.

I'm a furry and a pegasister so I'm well glittery [buwink]

I thought she was a part time 'beautician' not a dental receptionist?

I think that feeling like you have been left out in the cold can make some act out of character. Either go with it or raise it on a thread with 1000 posts. Plenty of opportunity

navada look for the Spoof 2 thread and join the larks

No ther was no fault finding with ONE woman. There was a generalisation about women, certain type of, that IS misogynistic. That is the point. No one was replying to a particular argument, instead there was sneering about a certain type of woman. It was NOT joking.
