A solidarity thread

[Catitainahatita]

Diplomacy is not my thing, but I try.

After this weeks events I thought I would start a thread with the express aim of expressing solidarity with the world wide web's feminists and the MN ones in particular.

Also because I came upon these:

www.facebook DOT com/ pages/Mumsnet-Sucks /120667294688534

anti-mumsnet DOT blogspot DOT com/20110301_archive. html

Sorry but I am not putting them in as links on purpose, because I don't want them to link back here (and if you cut and paste them into your browser and put in the dots you will see why.) Both are anti-MN sites, both of whose number one enemy appears to be the feminist/women's right section.

Let's not pander to them, I say. They are the only ones who want to shut this board down and shut us up.


Feminists of MN! I will support you always.

Probably UMS; you see now the government has outlawed cold weather, quilts are just smothering people and preventing them from getting a good nights sleep.

[SybilBeddows]

that's true; they might also want to get rid of quilting groups once they realise women talk to each other at them.

I never knew the mumsnetsucks site existed...

How bizzare and sad that anyone would get so wound up about mumsnet.

[reelingintheyears]

I did note that it's been going for over a year and has only 10 'likes'.

Says it all really.

No need to get too upset.

Scary level of hatred

Sorry not been on here much of late - I really can't take the vitriol sometimes. The irony of them accusing us of hatred as they spit their bile-filled invective is lost on them I guess isn't it?

I like Annie Lennox too. But I can't sing her songs :o

you woz missed, christine

[ChristinedePizan]

Thanks AF, that's very nice of you to say :) I haven't been around much anyway and every time I popped my head in, there was a massive barney going on. I have too much shit going on in my own life at the moment to be dealing with a bunch of sad lonely men and their pathetic femi-baiting.

I am going to do my letter next week Sybil. Promise!

Too true.

I read one comment on the AM site, where this guy was saying, "they accuse us of hate, but there's no hate on here, they're the ones who spout hatred."

Erm, hello, your whole site is about HATE, the hatred of women.

[DuelingFanjo]

the facebook one must be 10 sad baastards from some kind of motoring forum, that's my guess.

the blog has links to threads started by the blogger to cause friction. What's the point of that then? Stirrng up mumsnet so you can hate it more. Oddness.

y Sprogger that's why they're so keen on the idea that feminism on Mumsnet is a takeover by childless invaders, rather than the majority being actual genuine feminist mums.
