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

Daring to dissent.

What is it we're supposed to be 'getting away with' exactly

Breaking the rules of misogyny?

HermioneWeasley · 10/07/2018 19:24

Another one who’d like to know what we’re “getting away with”

MammaMiaTwo · 10/07/2018 19:26

“getting away with”

Projection?

HemanOrSheRa · 10/07/2018 19:28

I'm imagining something along the lines of the smoke and spangly light filled doorway on Stars In Their Eyes. I can't lie, I'm a little disappointed that it's not Sad.

  • What is it we're supposed to be 'getting away with' exactly

Free(ish) speech?

MammaMiaTwo · 10/07/2018 19:33

“getting away with”

Not wearing makeup?

DietCoke87 · 10/07/2018 19:33

Another AFAB women here (bit of a lurker who only found the feminism section of this site in Feb(?) this year -- thank goodness.. now I know I'm not crazy) that wants to know what the women from mumsnet have got away with? Do you all have that much power?

BeyondRaggydoll · 10/07/2018 19:33

"get away with" re middle aged white women doesn't even make sense.

Middle age is only a positive description for a man, for a woman it's on the negative end, so is another intersectional disadvantage for us. Which would make sense along the lines of "pulling the x card" if it was a list of disadvantages, but including white shows that MB is thinking of middle aged and white as privileges, yet then includes women? I thought MB was a "feminist"? Doesn't MB agree that women (using either definition here, the actual one or the poststructural, random, whatever, floaty abouty crap one) are oppressed?

iyswim?

I think we are "getting away" with being women....because we are and this is how women react when a man tries to appropriate our experiences.

Fuck you Munroe...for your assumptions about the MN community.

We are not all white, hetro, or middle class or any bloody accusations you want to make.

We do have one thing in common on FWR and that's we are women. Yes WOMEN.

Get out your golf clubs Munroe and literally "T" Off.

AngryAttackKittens · 10/07/2018 19:35

We have a portal??! Why did nobody inform me of this? I assume it works like a Star Trek beam me up machine. Think of all the money I could have saved on travel costs.

SuburbanRhonda · 10/07/2018 19:36

I’m afraid that got my dander up!

Now that’s an expression I haven’t heard in decades! Love it.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 10/07/2018 19:36

yet then includes women?

Mmmm... yes... I think MB is demonstrating diddums 'I don't have cunty privilege' bs.

OlennasWimple · 10/07/2018 19:37

Anyone worried about their blood pressure dropping too low need only read this in the Stylist by MB - aarrgghh!! So much wrong with it!

MammaMiaTwo · 10/07/2018 19:37

I’m afraid that got my dander up!

Reminds me of Stan from Victoria Woods Dinnerladies.

WhereDoWeBeginToCovetClarice · 10/07/2018 19:40

OlennasWimple

I tried to read, then got to the words 'true self' and could go no further.

Fucking whiney diddums.

BettyDuMonde · 10/07/2018 19:41

Stylist need to employ a subeditor. That was unreadable.

stillathing · 10/07/2018 19:41

Women talking to other women about women's rights is pretty radical under a patriarchy, no?

Poor MB. If they'd had a better grasp of intersectionality they could have joined us & then they wouldn't be feeling so left out.

AtreidesFreeWoman · 10/07/2018 19:41

'It's hard to have cunty privilege without said cunt obviously excluding the pseudo cunt that requires daily dilation and all sorts of other stuff I won't mention about non lubricating passages that internally fester without intensive care.

Whilst I'm here can I direct you to look at the fantastic achievements of an adult human female...

I don't feel I fair to comment on below belt surgery complications. Clearly you can say what you like, I don't want to be part of that attitude personally.

I don't feel it's fair to comment on below belt surgery complications.

Exactly the sort of thread that needs to go in classics not a snowball's chance in hell

terryleather · 10/07/2018 19:51

Still can't work out why this narcissist misogynist is given the time of day by anyone - all they seem to do is fart out ridiculous tweets.

I wish they would disappear up their own portal...

AtreidesFreeWoman · 10/07/2018 19:52

@MammaMiaTwo

Umm - what?????

Clarity would be appreciated. Tx.
