They said "Mumsnet you left us no choice"

I think you are supposed to hang your heads in shame Grin

Really, I don't mean to be the thread police here but, really, just don't feed it.

These people honestly believe they're the only stakeholder in every issue in the entire country. Safeguarding? Pfft. Women's rights? Pfft. Free speech? Pfft.

I think the choice is an accommodation with feminists or a vicious right wing backlash that will make them wish, with everything they've got, that they'd just spent two seconds LISTENING.

YY. It will come. And gender critical feminists, Cassandras that we are, will be blamed and suffer as much as these silly little fuckwits.

Rather than bees, I am reminded of those days when my kids would keep me pushing swings relentlessly -"again! mummy!" - I would just want to go indoors and have a long nap.

@Nothing2SeeHere

Can you please confirm that you are the only person responsible for that Twitter account?

Trans activism is populated by men advocating VAW, glorifying it actually; indeed violent misogyny is pervasive in trans activism, so I know that when you get a group of people together with vile views they might convince each other that it's okay.

But feminism isn't a vile view, only MRA's, incels and TA's attack feminism as such. The whole 'nasty women' Trumpesque take on women who are feminist and who won't submit to men is nothing new, it's age old in fact, and that is what you are bringing to this board. You stand with those men, the women I stand with on here are awesome precisely because they are feminist, and they actually have an a gender analysis, unlike yourself.

PermissionToSpeakSir UGH, I remember my youngest "mummy can I watch tellytubbies" For the 1000th time today dear. "Yes mummy".

PermissionToSpeakSir · 06/05/2018 23:09

I just wonder which poster sent out the twat bat signal.

thebewilderness · 06/05/2018 23:09

"The banality of evil" keep popping into mind when abusers like this turn up to self righteously rationalize their abuse to their victims.
It is repulsive. And straight out of the abusers handbook.

Have you not seen the posts on here from some of your own users saying how awful the attitudes are when some people discuss transgender people.

There has been a recent influx of TRAs trying to discredit mn. Maybe that's what they are referring to?

Ereshkigal · 06/05/2018 23:12

Well hang on, how does this work is "Transwomen are women" then?

You don't get to tell us which issues we talk about.

Oh I missed that gem.

spontaneousgiventime · 06/05/2018 23:13

Aww, our little troll got banned.

Flowers, MNHQ thank god you ran that person off the ranch. I actually saw red when reading their posts. had to leave the thread so I didn't disgrace myself.

gah.

leyat · 06/05/2018 23:25

Thanks @MNHQ

The mods do normally do a good job tbh. You don't notice good modding - it just sets a good tone. But the people they're modding for are us - the users of the site. To make this a pleasant place to be.

Yes I definitely agree with this. The mods are generally fantastic, and its very true that you do not notice good modding. Its just a few..odd decisions recently. But I can understand staff feeling under intense pressure and making mistakes. I do think that this new twitter report system thing is a terrible idea though, and will not be helping with the large workload that there no doubt is. I am a mod on a forum mayve 1/5th the size of this, and there is so much work for us to do, so I dread to think of the workload on a forum this large. Especially when there are endless reports from TRAs on top of that. We have not been targetted yet by transactivists, though I do think it may be soon, as we also allow gender critical discussion. Mind, our members are mainly male, so maybe we won't get hassled.

Went into loads of irrelevant shite there, but I just wanted to thank HQ, again. I know I have moaned a bit about modding recently but I do appreciate that its a hard job and sometimes wrong decisions are made as staff are human afterall. I just really do hope that the main bad decision that was made is reversed soon, else this will get a LOT worse.

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/05/2018 23:30

Hah! It thought it was safe to wait until KateMumsnet announced she was signing off before starting it's nasty campaign.

It wasn't reckoning on HebeMumsnet lurking with her banhammer!

Oh, just in case it's still reading, when it comes to 'awful attitudes', Nothing2SeeHere, have a look at this

ReluctantCamper · 06/05/2018 23:31

yup, it's just a repeat of what I said upthread OnTheList, but I'm right so I'll say it again Grin

either you're a user of the site, in which case it's being modded for you, so you absolutely should be able to report posts etc, or you're not on the site, in which case what business is it of yours?

Really, really (and one more time for luck) really bin the twitter reporting MNHQ. You cannot win with that.
