MB has tweeted that Mumsnet is a “Radicalisation Portal “ . Isn’t that something off Dr Who ? Does that mean I get to go in the Tardis with David Tennant ? #everycloud

Is the vagina a radicalisation portal?

What a fantastic thought!

IfNot · 10/07/2018 19:07

I CBA to look into who this person is (although I have heard them mentioned on here) and I don't agree with singling out individuals to flame, so I won't.

Having said that, I am always reading about how MN (and particularly the feminists on here) are "white and middle class". There NOTHING wrong with being both of those things but it's meant as an insult, or a way of diminishing these women's opinions.
The only reason the media and others think that every woman on here is white and middle class is that the conversation is intelligent and informed and they truly don't beleive that black, brown and working class women can be intelligent and informed.
Shame on them.

If all posters on mn are middle aged, MB only has two years until reaching the "middle age" that I am...

BettyDuMonde · 10/07/2018 19:07

Wow, that one tweet manages to be racist, misogynist and ageist all at once!

Deux · 10/07/2018 19:09

Thanks to mumsnet I’ve been through the portal and managed to unintentionally peak trans loads of people irl as a result. You know, through discussion.

Here, Munroe. Have a Biscuit.

I've noticed that. People make all sorts of assumptions just from looking at words on a page.

IfNot · 10/07/2018 19:10

Oh, and as for middle aged..SO THE FUCK WHAT? Women of a certain age have experience and should be respected.

Listen to your mother. Wink

Sarahconnor1 · 10/07/2018 19:11

Let's not forget Munroes instructions on how women should behave on the women's march. No wonder women are coming here to talk, they are being silenced everywhere else.

(MB is also more middle class that I am)
(At a guess)
(As I live in a council sink estate and live on benefits)
(whereas even if MB's situation at birth was identical, it clearly isn't now)
(oh, except there aren't many all boys schools here)

AtreidesFreeWoman · 10/07/2018 19:11

PMSL 😂

Try harder Munroe.

I'm too busy being my authentic self as an adult female with a crippling period pains atm.

Maybe you should try it? Or not.....

MammaMiaTwo · 10/07/2018 19:13

I have droopy 👵 post pregnancy and BF with stretch marks BiscuitBiscuit, they did the job they were designed for.

Working class here!

(Mind you, I'm not intelligent so I don't know what that proves.)

Ilikelotsofthinngs · 10/07/2018 19:14

What is it we're supposed to be 'getting away with' exactly.
For the record I'm 32, white and working class.

AtreidesFreeWoman · 10/07/2018 19:16

Again the assumption that only white women use MN and are feminists Hmm

MammaMiaTwo · 10/07/2018 19:16

Working class here!

(Mind you, I'm not intelligent so I don't know what that proves.)

Me too. No formal education & SEND!

IfNot · 10/07/2018 19:17

Yes you are Lang don't be daft!

BeyondRaggydoll · 10/07/2018 19:17

I'm also disabled and need sites like mn for my sanity - or I'll go weeks without talking to anyone!

Check your privilege, munroe.

From wiki
Bergdorf was born on 11 September 1987 into an upper middle-class family in Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire, where she grew up.[1][2] Bergdorf is of mixed-race origin born to an Afro-Jamaican father and a white English mother.[3][2] Bergdorf attended Bishop's Stortford High School, an all-boys school

LangCleg · 10/07/2018 19:18

(Also, I look white so am white, but two of my four grandparents aren't white.)

Pacers · 10/07/2018 19:19

Oh bless

SirVixofVixHall · 10/07/2018 19:19

My vagina is definitely my radicalisation portal. Perhaps we should be known as “radicalisation portal owners” . ( previously known as “women” )

Gobshite women in sisterhood.

Terrifying, so we are.

GOOD.

Sarahconnor1 · 10/07/2018 19:22

Not being obedient is my guess.

Hexcode16 · 10/07/2018 19:23

Nope, neither white nor middle class. And for the record it was the goings on at the Bristol women’s meeting which peaked me, once again men were pushing woman around and I’m afraid that got my dander up!
