Trans identified Mumsnet member AidaP is scraping Mumsnet

[BambooLampshade]

Hi Mumsnet, though you should know that a trans identified man - who often posts on Mumsnet as @aidap - is scraping the feminimism board, in order to create some sort of grading system.

It's basically electronic stalking.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

He’s a bit obsessed with MN, isn’t he?

It’s because he wants to be us.

So the behaviour of the user concerned is a man who has made threats to use a splintery rolling pin to sexually assault women who dare to disagree with him (and in fact added his own link to the threat in question on a board, on this website) but you 'cannot believe that Mumsnet allows such hate' in terms of women calling men, well, men.

Most people would have expressed rather more disapproval in considerably stronger terms for the first rather than the second, but you do you.

Now I can't get the aria from The Mikado out of my head.

Show us the hate.
“He’s a man”
”He’s got big hands”
Good luck at The Hague

Unfortunately he generates engagement and MN has refused to ban him, so there’s the added issue of him getting off on being “supported” by MNHQ and allowed by them to be here harassing women. The “there’s nothing you can do about it” angle is extremely appealing to them and only encourages further harassment and trolling.

We're women. Who are not men. HTH.

It's not attention. It's sunlight.

He thinks that he is fighting a war and that he is on the "right side".

Once men are in that mentality they stop seeing people (especially women) as people and only as the enemy and therefore they don't have to behave respectfully towards them.

I am sure other people have actually already done this, but are not naive enough to broadcast it, and almost certainly people have done this to the Trans thread on reddit to exploit their users.

Ha ha ha way to fuck up your computer. Mumsnet barely works half of the time.

Funny, isn't it, that someone who's so desperate to be a woman is so filled with loathing and contempt for the views of actual women.

I'm very much a supporter of equality for all. It just such a pity that some people think they are more equal than everybody else, and insist on riding roughshod over any opinion that doesn't align with their own.

Well if he’s not already banned and wanted to continue using MN, he’s hoist himself on his own petard by announcing his scraping as that’s very explicitly against the T&Cs

He's a stalker. It's gone beyond "what are they saying today" type stuff.

Remember, @aidap who Mumsnet still allow to be a poster here, said this:

And let's send a clear message to the world: fuck bigots and especially nazirowling with a splintery rolling pin 😘 We are here, proud and happy and not going anywhere 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥳🥰

LOL at the gerbils!

What do you mean by “find out who knows what”?

I meant I have no clue what information he is trying to find or for what purposes.

I think it’s slightly ironic to be told FWR posters have fixed views and refuse to debate by someone who has posted their view and refuses to debate.

He just wants to scold women. And has built a computer program to do that.

Frickin weirdo.

I think mumsnet really needs to think about where they draw a line and this may well be the moment. We (as in women users spot all the red flags) and mumsnet just seem to go all vague and elect to arbitrate, on the side of caution.

Due to past experiences of sponsor's

Sal Grover had a very hard line in Australia and is fighting it through the courts.

I don't think that is how it should be for this site.

but given the site is called “mumsnet” in light of the Supreme Court ruling there is a strong possibility that as a service they should not allow males because there service could be construed to be specifically for females, based on their sex based title.

Just saying….

Imo Mumsnet has been brilliant in holding the line for (actual) women, over the last decade or so.

However, I really think it is time for them to look at this guy @aidap and think about whether they let him continue to be a member of Mumsnet.

Given his reference to rolling pins, is it actually safe to allow him access to this board for goodness knows what reasons?

Exactly. Anyway, I have now told Mumsnet what he is up to.

In my opinion, his behaviour is escalating.

You know i posted here too about him?

Some men do dress up as women in order to perve, and some have Autogynephilia. Its just a fact of life.

but it’s always been ‘by parents, for parents’ - and yet happy to accommodate non-parents, even has a board for MNers without kids too. Which IMO is fine.
And there’s really no way to verify a persons sex on a platform which (for very good reasons - women in coercive relationships etc) allows anonymity.

I don not disagree with you.
