And she should be forced to search his male body...

Gina Ford. She Who Must Not Be Named ('SWMNBN')

Seriously: I was around during the GF case (she commenced proceedings against Mumsnet for libel, and I believe against the particular poster who offended her).

It wasn't pretty.

We were not allowed to mention her, let alone post threads about her. The tension and strain coming through from Mumsnet HQ were palpable. It was settled in the end, I think, but at who knows what cost?

Can we please stop and think before we post: do we want to lose this forum - the only one which currently allows gender critical posts ?

Do we want to cost Mumsnet tons of money?

Remember: lawyers can force Mumsnet to hand over your personal information so you can be sued to.

Let's not go there. What a victory it would be for the TRAs.

Mumsnut · 15/03/2018 17:53

Sorry if that sounded sanctimonious. I have been sued for defamation myself. I hadn't written or said any of the things alleged. But it took me years, and six figures, to get far enough through the courts for the case to be dropped.

What's POMO?

Also, if L M has a watch on their name, does putting random spaces in stop it working? L il y?

Mumsnut · 15/03/2018 17:55

I think Lily can probably access this section on Mumsnet without resorting to a search bot.

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 17:55

I think you are right Mumsnut . We should be careful. I got a deletion earlier, first ever, but I'm not sure what I said,

LineysOfArabia · 15/03/2018 17:55

Goldsmiths is the absolute locus of pomo madness in the UK

Which means there is a Professor Zero

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 17:56

They'd have to spend a lot of time checking, though.

LineysOfArabia · 15/03/2018 17:59

Someone would have to prove financial loss these days for libel I think. It's not the gravy train it used to be.

And I've probably got less money than a certain person. They could sue me for a used tea bag and a doddery cat and see how far the High Court would throw them apples.

Gosh no. MM. In which every thread about them gets deleted.

No childcare involved, in fact the opposite.

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 18:02

M m. M m. Still don't get it...

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 18:02

Is it the family with a lot of children?

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 18:02

Nope, I got it. Sorry I'm slow!

scurryfunge · 15/03/2018 18:03

Portugal

Mumsnut · 15/03/2018 18:08

Oh, I get you.

picklemepopcorn · 15/03/2018 18:11

Still wondering about POMO and goldsmiths...

Thegirlinthefireplace · 15/03/2018 18:25

MM is Madeleine McCann

Sorry, it’s was driving me nuts people keeping asking and no one answerinf

Branleuse · 15/03/2018 18:34

Madigan should be able to request somebody that likes pink and has a ladybrain.

I would refuse to be searched by anyone that wasnt ambi-demi-fluid-cloud-gender

SmurfOrTerf · 15/03/2018 18:38

this will be pulled now

HuckfromScandal · 15/03/2018 18:40

Posting to see the zap message.
We are now being censored by munsnet too sadly

They LM - sad, self indulgent, self obsessed individual IMO

AngryAttackKittens · 15/03/2018 18:41

The constant targeting of working class people in service jobs for not providing TIMs with the emotional validation that they seek irks me on both a feminist and a socialist level.

LangCleg · 15/03/2018 18:43

Still wondering about POMO and goldsmiths...

Pomo is postmodernism. Closely related to social constructionism. The idea that material reality is irrelevant and all things are socially constructed. It is strongly represented in the academy, nowhere more so than Goldsmiths.

The root of how transgenderism has taken hold to see all the hideous fetishists seizing the opportunity and moving in.

LineysOfArabia · 15/03/2018 18:47

Post-modernism and 'alternative histories' grew exponentially as a genre just as feminist and intelligently gendered critiques and revisionist theory finally entered the academic mainstream. Funny that.

In other words: yeah, women can have a history; but it's still only one of many, eh?

LangCleg · 15/03/2018 18:47

Yes, the relentless demonstration of both their class and sex privilege and because they are incapable of reflection, you could water board them for a year and they still wouldn't see it.

(Not that I'm suggesting waterboarding anyone. Just that the inability to perceive power relations is that far beyond them)

aRespectableBureaudeChange · 15/03/2018 18:48

Think Giles nailed it there with that comment!

It is gymnastics for the mind, except Lily got tripped up on the vault and doesn't know which way is up.

SimonBridges · 15/03/2018 18:56

So this will be pulled because us women should just shut up when a male bodied person requests a body search by a woman.
