It seems that India is a little obsessed and is even now actively encouraging brands to stop advertising with Mumsnet.
A picture of a 17 year old with a semi in a skirt will stop a baby formula brand wanting to be associated apparently Confused twitter.com/IndiaWilloughby/status/987348210858577921?s=20

Should we stop shortening the concept of misogny to one word? It's a lot of stuff in one word. Genuine question. There are three different things in this definition below, maybe highlight the specific one that applies. Sorry if I am lecturing. Repetition of a word can lose the power.

Misogony
dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

Trousersdontmakemeaman · 20/04/2018 23:10

I cant actually spell it.
Misogany, a wood often used to beat women around the head with.

diddlemethis · 20/04/2018 23:18

All the attention MN receive from the TRAs, MRAs etc, demonstrates clearly to me how much power we really have. They are clearly scared of us. Scared enough to lie, to threaten and to try and erase us.

Not going to happen. We are the creators of people.

Trousersdontmakemeaman · 20/04/2018 23:22

Hell yes

A study of the rapid rise of extremist trans ideology could start by finding out the demographics of the majority of (non-trans) "allies": Gay men, lesbian women, straight men, or straight women?

Voice0fReason · 20/04/2018 23:29

Nobody identifies as transgender because it’s easy or fun
Men who want to gain access to women's only spaces do.

And even if the likes of Lila Perry genuinely believe that they are a girl, it does not mean that they should have been given access to the girls changing room. Trans rights should not come at the expense of women's rights.

mysogeny, harder to spell than you think

Misogynée; if you can’t spell it, don’t do it. Grin

Confused I swear I read the whole damn thread, and still cannot figure out what everything you need to know about MN was in that post.

Does this mean I'm not a true MNer that I couldn't spot it?

ErrolTheDragon · 21/04/2018 00:44

Well, it implies MNHQ is in cahoots with a feminist whose work focuses on male violence against women and children the devil incarnate.

Ok thanks Errol, that makes sense, kinda ( not )Confused but then this is IW, so Grin

So after (are we at a week yet?) IW has had time to scour the MN site/twitter, she has come up with a pic of LP, who happily accepted all the media coverage they could get, and a 'hey give me a jingle' post. Did somebody say IW is a journalist?Hmm

Nobody took a picture of Lila Perry at school you silly billy India. He did an interview with a TV crew flanked by handmaidens. It is this footage from this interview that has been shared on Twitter, this is not some kind of creepshot or something, it's a still from a news video off the TV.

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 21/04/2018 06:39

who was so overwhelmed by by their sexuality they hypothetically allowed it to override their judgement, the law and the real life consequences and hypothetically infiltrated a female space for brief sexual gratification. I would want that hypothetical individual punished for their actions. While I can see this hypothetical situation could occur I don’t consider it a meaningful risk in most of our lives and I think our concern should be proportionate when their are so many overwhelmingly real dangers for women in public spaces.

Fuck me dude - do you not read the news? Have you never been flashed? I was first flashed when I was about 11, it's happened plenty of times since. I've seen a bloke sat on a bench in the park wanking through his pocket, a guy at one of my jobs had apparently planted a camera in the ladies and got done for it when it was discovered, I've been groped, and harrassed and that's just me. Men have hidden in septic tanks, in roof spaces, planted cameras, drilled holes, invented fake hands, and camera shoes - it's not bloody hypothetical that a man would let his desire for sexual gratification override his common sense, it happens all the time

Debinaround · 21/04/2018 07:21

IW blocked me on Twitter the other day. Is there a way to see what they have tweeted if you are blocked or is that me forever in the dark?

AngryAttackKittens · 21/04/2018 07:24

Just log out, Deb, and you'll be able to see everything.

Would the terfblocker not fall foul of GDPR?

It’s a screening algorithm that could prejudically affect people ... isn’t that illegal soon?

We are no longer allowed to use screening software on CVs for example. Is this similar or no?

Debinaround · 21/04/2018 07:38

Thanks Kittens, will do.

Every day I get prouder of our fabulous Justine Roberts. And more grateful to India Willoughby for bringing the nation to #peaktrans.

Misogyny the practice of eating multiple fermented soy bean soups at the same time.

Understanding who has been most actively involved in exploiting the blockers and how they have had so much influence will be more significant....
