Blocking after name calling is so childish.

[StopStoppingDebate]

Sick of shit like this. Fairly new to twitter but started using an old account again to follow the fight for women’s rights. One person called me a bigot and then blocked me instantly. What’s the fucking point? Another I have been having a lengthy debate with has also suddenly blocked me. At one point I stated that I had enjoyed the debate but didn’t think we were going to change each others minds and I needed to get my children ready for bed and sort things for school tomorrow. Well apparently that’s convenient of me and I am avoiding answering things. This is after hours of debate. So a few more comments later and I’m blocked and have ruined their dinner. Do they hear themselves?

Twitter is a stupid, stupid place. I still don't understand why anyone thought a social media platform based entirely on soundbites would produce anything other than extreme polarization and bad feeling.

I find it hilariously childish. It’s so “I’m having the last word so nurr” that it makes me die laughing. It’s the preserve of the intellectually deficient.

I got hounded off there by the same types - but then a wondrous woman sent me here and it's like a feckin' oasis of sense, intelligence and calm by comparison.

Mumsnet is by far superior. But apparently it’s a tiny echo chamber purely for gender critical feminists and no one else. I mean, have you seen how many trivial and hilarious threads that are posted, but apparently we over here are a tiny minority. Twitter has given me such a headache and I may need to take a break from it. Never liked it before but didn’t want to be accused of only talking about women’s rights on here so tried to branch out. Much prefer being here though, at least we can discuss things properly and don’t need to block people to make ourselves feel better. And they say mumsnet is an echo chamber, Ha! Is it fuck.

It’s also much better typing anything on here as I don’t feel so restricted.

It’s funny.

I got blocked by the person who was proud that he helped get Leeds meeting cancelled.

Save a lot of time by tweeting you refuse to call yourself ‘ciswoman’ and you get instant block by lots.

I’ve learnt not to tweet any details about your kids as some tweeters like to play dirty tactics so now under alias

They abit precious about the follower numbers to, you know if the very very early days of Facebook it was about how many fake friends you had it’s same on twitter except some follow just to watch car crash to unfold.

My advice with Twitter would be to totally ignore any kind of interaction with trans activists as all you will get is a headache. However if there is any kind of public debate for example if there's a piece on good morning that you can comment on gender critically or Sky News or anything like that then everybody's voice counts and normal people are seeing that.

This is an echo chamber? We just had a post from someone saying that surely it can't be that bad even if Kavanaugh did rape Ford as it something he did when he was 18. We often have someone writing that even though they have read about Karen, who is a male bodied person in a woman's prison who has been sexually abusing her fellow prisoners and they have read about all those woman saying that maybe it isn't sexually arousing for all trans women to dress as women, but it sure was for their ex-husbands, still the poster cannot really see why self-id would be a bad thing.

If Mumsnet was an echo chamber, people on here would agree on most things and they most certainly do not. It is therefore not factually correct to call Mumsnet an echo chamber. It is gaslighting. It is saying: "All those wimmin brainlessly agreeing with each other without a second thought, because wimmin be so stoooopid".

Just one tiny litlle thing: No matter if scientist say that there are 7 forms of intelligence or 9 forms of intelligence, all test shows the same thing: Women score higher on all forms except for math and spacial awareness (on which they are still damn close to the male score). Which is of course why intelligence tests used to be based solely on math and spacial awareness . The old fashioned intelligence tests used to show that on average women and men have equal intelligence as there are more men with a very poor level of intelligence and more who score really high, whereas women have more people of average intelligence.
Two points:

1. a lot of those men who score extremely high on the old fashion intelligence tests based solely on math and spacial awareness are autistic. So to a lot of people they will appear to be stupid as their emotional intelligence is very low.
2. no one has ever dared to make the comparision of the genders after intelligence test started to include other subjects than math and spacial awareness (vocabulary, history and those sort of subjects.)

Men rule the world because they are more agressive than women. Not because of superior intelligence.

PS: oh God yes of course NAMALT and of course some women also have low intelligence and blah blah. I am talking statistics here. You can still drown in a river that is only 1 inch deep on average.

Never ever make the mistake of telling people on Twitter that you have things to do outside of Twitter. I think the trick is to never mention anything personal unless it's cat related.

@doctor

Follow FairPlayToWomen and women’splaceuk your pick up some real worthy interesting tweeters from them to follow.

if there is any kind of public debate for example if there's a piece on good morning that you can comment on gender critically or Sky News or anything like that then everybody's voice counts and normal people are seeing that.

Even if I don’t comment, I go through such threads and like everything I agree with. If I had a dedicated GC account I’d RT them all too. Apparently it can make a difference to the order they’re listed.

@Mumminmum that's really interesting. It is difficult to argue with 'I'm not listening' mentality

InWomensProtection My Twitter has my full name. Should I delete it or just stop posting. What kind of things would they have to say about my kids? Luckily I’ve only ever used it for occasional big brother tweets and again recently in regards to self ID.

I'd set up a new gender critical account if I were you. Best to be on the safe side.

TerfedOff Thank you. I think I’ll do just that.

Agree with Terfedoff.

I had twitter under my real name as regular user for years & it was handy - am not big celebrity follower kind but it had links to family (incl kids). Big mistake.

Using old alias and all they can try mock is the few followers I have .

Get thick skin you will be called quite few names. There are some intelligent trans women who been great to engage with usually found in replies to women’s right stuff.

Terfclub on twitter good they suffer no fools and delicate trans activist automatically award you a bigot badge and block you.

There is a list in thread here about suggestions of who to follow, am I’ve just came across another worthy one

InWomensProtection Thank you. I’ll delte my account now and make a new one. It’s a shame as my comment had a few people liking it and I feel that’s a good thing. I may just make a new one and stop using the old one but leave it to stand for a bit.

Stop you don’t need to delete. You can change both your name and your handle in settings and therefore keep everything. It’s quite simple.

My twitter had for years so lots of tweets which was more family based stuff and supporting issues around that with family followers.

I reluctant Facebook user it handy to contact companies about stuff, so real boring mundane stuff to joe public, that was until I had an opinion about women’s rights.

It’s wrong having to hide behind an alias but learnt there are some real twisted ducks out there who do anything to silence women

SwearyG I didn’t even think of that. But I’ve already deleted and made a new account.

If you don’t want to lose it you can reinstate within (I think) 30 days.

I’m not too worried. I did spend a lot of time recently debating on it but other than that it just wasn’t used.

Even if I don’t comment, I go through such threads and like everything I agree with.

I do that too. I have like 2000 likes and only 100 or so comments
