Love this & think positive counter balance to the slur some wish it to be. Please spread the word.

I've always like Tediously Explaining Reality to Fuckwits Grin

Posts like the above make me wish MN had a "like" button Smile

Tinyrick, that is perfect! May I borrow it for my online feminist group?

ErrolTheDragon · 31/07/2018 14:01

I think 'Tirelessly' would be a bit more positive than 'Tediously'?

happydappy2 · 31/07/2018 14:09

Tiny that’s great- will adopt for future

I’m a PERF - Penis Exclusionary Radical Feminist.

I think Tediously Explaining Reality to Fuckwits was coined by Mumsnet's own @CoteDAzur (not sure if she is still around, but @-ing her just in case).

It's funny cause it's true.

And also depressing cause it's true.

(That's why I prefer Tediously to Tirelessly, Errol. Because it IS fucking tedious to have to explain things that everyone - whether they admit it or not - knows are true.)

ErrolTheDragon · 31/07/2018 14:25

It reads to me like the explanations are tedious to read, which they rarely are. But yes, the explanations are tedious for the explainers.

TinyRick · 31/07/2018 14:49

Yeah. I remember seeing it somewhere. Thought GC Reddit but must have been here. Nice one Cote

I want a "Radicalised By Mumsnet" t-shirt Grin

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 31/07/2018 17:13

I would buy it!

ElfrideSwancourt · 31/07/2018 17:21

I definitely want that tshirt- I did get the fab one @swearyg wore to the pool on #ManFriday and I love it (it says 'I solemnly swear to bring down the patriarchy')

Ereshkigal · 31/07/2018 17:22

Me too silentcrow Grin

CoteDAzur · 01/08/2018 21:22

"Tediously Explaining Reality to Fuckwits was coined by Mumsnet's own @CoteDAzur"

That wasn't me but it's a good one Smile

DonkeySkin · 01/08/2018 21:28

Ah, OK Cote Smile

I've just done an advanced search and found the Mumsnet thread where it was born.

Oh, thank you @DonkeySkin. My one achievement in life. Every time I see it on Twitter or Reddit I think “I did that!”

DonkeySkin · 01/08/2018 22:02

My one achievement in life.

Surely not, Dullard Wink

It is however a shining achievement, to take an anti-feminist slur and turn it into an hilarious meme of resistance Star

Maybe this works?
