Maybe it's me?

[womanformallyknownaswoman]

Maybe it's me - in many of the recent posts I sense, see and smell a set up - I see a wolf dressed as Grandma.

An OP who I don't recognise posts a question used to enable concern trolling and sealioning. Comments suddenly appear from newish unfamiliar accounts to challenge the inch given and demand that we conform to their inclusive demands which require us women giving up a pound of flesh. The thread appears to generate goady responses and maybe Twitter clickbait

Oh if I could bag all that concern and turn it into gold, I'd be a rich woman

I don't want to talk about them and their tactics - that's boring.

I want to talk feminism. For example -

Why are feminists expected to pander to anyone else's demands? Why can't feminists say no without sanction? What's so wrong with feminists being self centred and looking after women's needs? After all men do it all the tine. Why do social media platforms repeatedly demonstrate they are part of the problem and not of the solution? Why do they ignore 51% and why don't we withhold our presence from Twitter etc. Why does this keep happening and what other measures can we take?

Just checking:)))

Well we are stuck now TacoLover, this thread has been derailed onto the other thread. This is what happens.

Well it wasn't me who derailed it that's for sure. I didn't even mention another thread.

yeah, I love it too Picassospaintbrush, just not in the context of being used to bully another poster for her beliefs.

in that context it's just fucking goady.

The poster was attempting to oppress me with god on Friday.

Christ on a fucking bike.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?

Everyone: go and sit in the sunshine in the garden and come back tomorrow.

Um.... how did I oppress you with God on Friday?

I didn't see that, I didn't join the thread until yesterday. but what I have seen here is people bringing hostility over from that thread and it makes them look like dicks.

Wow indeed. And we are the bullies! What an own goal this thread turned out to be.

I'm so bloody confused right now

I never bullied Taco-thats just silly. In the imagined scenario she smiling
. For Goodness Sake. And I sent her that nice video by Nina Paley.

yeah me too Taco

I'm impressed that you managed to leverage a deity to oppress someone though.

If you are able to mobilise the divine I think your talents are probably currently being wasted. any chance of sorting out the Gaza Strip?

Yes I bloody wish I had a direct line to God to oppress some random poster on MN

Am I bovvered?

Damn it. This thread had a reasonable premise, yet now less than 100 posts in and it's no doubt marked for deletion.

For you Picasso

So:
Some people have made mn accounts in order to shit-stir by provoking GC posters to get cross and post stuff that's makes them look bad when shared. Some GC posters do in fact get cross and post stuff that makes them look bad when it's shared.

Ergo, all new or newish posters who make GC posters feel cross, by disagreeing with or challenging their views, are suspect and liable to be troll hunted.

The GC posters who are feeling concerned about deliberate shit-stirrers could report to mn every time they are concerned, as MNHQ have asked them to, but instead some of them continue to troll hunt openly and persistently, in a variety of coded or uncoded ways.

So where does that leave us? No fresh voices can enter the conversation unless they are on the wholeheartedly GC side of things, or are prepared to put up with being troll hunted at every turn.

I want to know how you can tell if someone is new. I'm not new.

Thank you MNHQ for deleting those posts

the same way certain posters can tell you're a man flashnazia. I got accused of mansplaining earlier.

all I can say is I'm playing a fucking long game to enable me to come here and post in FWR. I went to all that trouble growing two babies inside my manly uterus and everything.

you are right it is you......

My understanding is that mansplaining is sex neutral. It's named after a a masculine stereotype however, (I hereby admit I have mansplained mansplaining).

I'm sure there was a thread on this but the past few days have reminded me of this:

Picassospaintbrush

I still hate it. it's just a way to close down debate. you object to what people are saying or doing, not who they are while they are saying or doing it.

Utterly Amusing that you have my so-called bullying post taken down but leave it as you copied it in full at 14.06.
