A thread about a thread.

I find the comments on here very sad - calling someone you do not know a slag, but all along devouring her in the media.

Sad

Peachmuffin, don't despair. Threads are somtimes slow to get going in here.

Your comments are perfectly true, and what's really depressing is that it happens everywhere, all the time. The celeb magazines are among the worst offenders.

Peach - I think that this thread is not taking off because many of us are posting on the original thread - which in fairness is exactly the same.

I am too tired to have the same discussion twice

Peachmuffin - I didn't say she was a slag, I said she looked like one because she was wearing next to nothing!

She may well be a perfectly nice girl who's had a bad start in life, I was simply judging by how she presented herself ie lack of clothes.

FWIW all the single young mothers who can't understand why society judges them and thinks they can't possibly make good mum's, girls like this are the reason why!

HerBeatitude · 28/09/2010 13:38

Er no, I don't think girls like this are the reason why, I think ingrained sexism is the reason why...

'FWIW all the single young mothers who can't understand why society judges them and thinks they can't possibly make good mum's, girls like this are the reason why!'

Hmm
peachmuffin · 28/09/2010 13:57

Oh so is ASothwoldmummy now blaming Chloe for the prejudice of society towards single young mothers (and at the same time justifying her own attitudes towards them)?

Another gem from her is:

"At least I don't have to feel guilty about judging her for looking like a cheap hooker! Feel sorry for her little girl though having that for a mum "

Having that for a mum? Shock

"I didn't say she was a slag, I said she looked like one because she was wearing next to nothing!"

So why say she looks like a slag, perhaps so you can start a thread to get others to add to the insults?

I suppose you also do not think you caused any offence with your 'cheap hooker' reference, oh no, you just said she looked like a cheap hooker. Confused

And there was never indication form ASothwoldMummy that she may think Chloe may well be a perfectly nice girl who's had a bad start in life, she has questioned whether Chloe is fit to be a parent.

I have to say that what got me is that I am a single parent, youngish at 27, and yes, people do judge. And people like Chloe really don't help. By all means judge her, tbh she seems a very damaged, very un-self aware girl. But to even compare me, as a single mum, with her, just for the fact that my partner walked out on me?
Pfttttttttt.

PeterTong · 28/09/2010 14:13

im not sure i see what is wrong with saying she looks like a cheap hooker.

is it the hooker comment per se?

is it that we are supposed to be sisters united in feminism.

the girl looks trampy.

she came across on this morning, as a naive girl let out in the city caught by the press.

she may be a buzz and a laugh and an excellent mum, she maybe ultra intelligent - this i do not know.

what i can judge is the aesthetics of what i see. i;m not so sure whats wrong with that.

asouthwoldmummy · 28/09/2010 14:14

This will be my last post, tbh I really can't be bothered to argue when you take what I say out of context.

I started the thread not knowing she was a prostitute, simply judging how she came across on x factor. I didn't say she was a bad person or a bad mother. I judged on looks alone (which we are ALL guilty of). I was also not the only person to say anything bad on that thread, I am only being targeted because I am the only one who has bothered to come along to the fiminism section.

Feel free to rant about me all you like, I'm sure you will have just as much fun dissecting this post as you did my last Wink

oh, and I really don't have a problem, with young, single mums, you're just making stupid assumptions.

asouthwoldmummy · 28/09/2010 14:15

Sorry, that was to peachmuffin by the way!
