Just feeling really angry at all the murder, assault, rape of females that goes on

I told my husband how horrible it is being part of a gender that is constantly attacked, murdered, etc. He had never thought about it. He doesn´t need to. So we have Tia Sharp, the lady who disappeard in London, an old lady in Scotland murdered by son´s friend, another one murdered in a taxi in Birmingham - this is just over two weeks.

I have one son, pregnant again and just hope its another boy to be honest.

Why is it OK? Apart from raising gentlemen, what the hell can we do? As a gender, we give birth, nurture, raise, care for them, and as a gender we are the ones who suffer at their hands.

its so depressing.

Remember Chairman this isn't a parenting site no matter what it says.

AnyFucker · 14/08/2012 23:41

oh dear, is meow having his parenting aspirations squashed now ?

funnily enough, most of us think such attitudes have no place on a parenting site, and thankfully HQ agree

LRDtheFeministDragon · 14/08/2012 23:43

I don't see what this has to do with parenting, except I suppose in that it's great to bring up children who don't believe all the trivializing horseshit about violence against women.

Changlingz · 14/08/2012 23:46

Has he been banned?

AnyFucker · 14/08/2012 23:48

not yet

Changlingz · 14/08/2012 23:56

Well maybe he's been drinking wine, and maybe so have a few others.

pornmonkey · 14/08/2012 23:57

Probably, they seem quite sensitive souls, too quick to censor for a message board Sad

AnyFucker · 14/08/2012 23:59

why would that be, changlinz ?

and why would that be an excuse ?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 14/08/2012 23:59

MNHQ are not on this thread, I believe they are drinking wine (and gin) elsewhere. Being sensible souls.

You guys do know it's them who delete stuff, right?

AnyFucker · 15/08/2012 00:00

take it up with HQ if you don't agree, PM

there's plenty of ways to "contact mumsnet"

one of the best ways, of course, is to attract their attention by repeatedly making posts that contravene guidelines

pornmonkey · 15/08/2012 00:04

admins or moderaters, has to be last resort not first resort, too many threads become even more confusing to follow with missing posts that other posts comment on

LRDtheFeministDragon · 15/08/2012 00:05

If you want to lay down the law, see if MNHQ will let you work for them (god I hope not). Otherwise, let them do what they do, eh?

pornmonkey · 15/08/2012 00:07

was replyin to changlingz post at 23.46, better to warn than censor, stops every other thread just gettin nasty

chibi · 15/08/2012 00:08

i don't know, even with that post deleted i wa still able to follow the thread and get the measure of good old meow

AnyFucker · 15/08/2012 00:08

tell it to the organ grinders, PM

AnyFucker · 15/08/2012 00:09

and if you don't like it, there are plenty other parenting websites you can use, no ?

mcmooncup · 15/08/2012 00:09

It is pro-social for men to be violent in our culture. That is not the same as it being natural.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such cultures as these Smile

AnyFucker · 15/08/2012 00:11

better still, start your own site to slag off Mumsnet

oh, somebody already did that...too late, how unfortunate Grin

messyisthenewtidy · 15/08/2012 00:13

I think plenty has articulated what I hate so much about meow's theory of sexual selection.

Meow's theory conjures up images of men lining up, puffing out their chests and showing off their strength desperate to be chosen by a powerful female, whereas the reality is that in the past such men were more likely to use that strength to overpower women and take away their choice and reduce them to objects, in the ways that plenty described in her post.

Also, meow, just out of interest, if in the course of evolution, women chose only violent alpha males, then why are the majority of men clearly non violent beta males?

pornmonkey · 15/08/2012 00:21

Hey Fucker, large number of censored threads here, posts is read by admin very quickly, clearly no need to report to organ grinders as they already read message

LRDtheFeministDragon · 15/08/2012 00:23

Yeah, that's exactly how it works, porn, that's why every post I report goes and this thread has about twenty posts of sane discussion and nothing else.

Oh, wait ...

pornmonkey · 15/08/2012 00:26

meant already read my message at 00.04, no need to say what i think to them

AnyFucker · 15/08/2012 00:27

it's Any Fucker to you, or AF

where are your manners ? Hmm

and you are wrong

HQ do not read every post, there are far too many in a day for the small staff that they have

their attention is brought to posts that are reported, or of course if their antennae are already twitching about a thread that has already turned into a bit of a bunfight

it might be best to get your facts straight, before engaging your keyboard

OlympiaMumsnet · 15/08/2012 00:56

Hello
