If you don’t know what Mumsnet is be glad...

[Ladyfat]

Thought some of you may find this amusing:

I always think to myself I'm off to visit the 'nest of vipers' Turbo when I check MN FWR.

Sod the parenting a newborn advice, I came for the penis beaker and stayed for the transphobia

What does a wee boy in his mamas back room in some nowhere town in Germany know about anything?

What's a FART?

I feel left out.

Slanders verbal though isn’t it? Libel would be the correct term surely?.

wait, being esoteric is bad now?

Not if we play Scrabble with it!

esotericism

eroticisms isometrics isometries semeiotics

eroticism isometric scimiters semeiotic semiotics societies trisomics trisomies

Perhaps the twatterer got muddled up with one of those?

Well, I’m definitely a viper..sssss! You all need to get out of my nest

Ever since God pointed to the Tree of Knowledge and told Eve not to eat them there apples, men have been making this elementary mistake.

Pandora was told not to open the box.

Belle was told not to go to the West Wing of the Beast's castle.

Wimmenz have now been told not to go to Mumsnet.

Let's see how that works out for them.

What is the "d" word in the name? Doof? Daemlich? Dumm?

die (the)

Just looked up their handle
(Unicorns are fluffy) und die AfD sind Nazis

In fairness, Alternative For Germany are far right-wing and do suck.
but this person using the acronym feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobes? Allmechd!

They are not a teenage boy judging from the tweets - but appear to be some things I like (Terry Pratchett fan/supportive of autism/anti racist/retweets feminist stuff) and some things I don't (gaming/woke credentials/fluffy anything).
Their German/English is good though. Shame they are hiding behind a fluffy unicorn avatar.

Hahahaha now we're also 'mumchan'

But I'm not (shhhh) a mum!? So, am I left out?

I am a mum but an old one even 11 years ago

OhHolyJesus
Thanks for the penis beaker reminder, it's good to start the day with a good laugh.

I was thinking your final line could be an advertising slogan for MN.

"Come for the penis beaker; stay for the transphobia".

• Transphobia = asking reasonable questions about how proposed legislation might impact women's rights.

Anyway I think MNHQ are missing a trick, they could be selling nest of vipers merch. I'm thinking of perhaps a lapel pin with N.O.V. and a small image of an approximation of a pom bear on it. Think how much easier it would be to identify each other at events if we all had one of those.

appear to be some things I like (Terry Pratchett fan/supportive of autism/anti racist/retweets feminist stuff)

I don’t give people credit for things they should be by default.

The facade tends to slip anyway. You can bet they’ll argue that we should allow male-bodied athletes compete against women because we let black women compete. You can bet they’ll drop the anti-racism when TRA aims conflict with conservative cultures. You can bet they culturally appropriate Two Spirit beliefs when it suits them. And you can bet they start sentences with ‘I’m not anti-Semitic but...’

I also had to look up what esotericism meant and am still clueless as to how it relates to MN. Clearly we're an intelligent lot well, maybe not me I'm just highfaluting but what topics on here are esoteric?

Rage

"Allmechd!" That's pretty much exactly as we Lower Frankonians would say it

Some people can't think of Mumsnet without stereotyping it, whether it's boring mumsy mums talking about prams or evil witch harpies trasphobicly transphobing all over the place.

They can't imagine that women might be normal human beings who think seriously about what is going on in the world and have worthwhile and interesting views on it.

I want an enamel pin now Turbo to wear proudly on my AHF t shirt. I vaguely remember a thread about Vest if Vipers now.

Some MN merchandise would help to identify MNers at big WPUK meetings, we could have a secret handshake too like the Freemasons...

I don’t give people credit for things they should be by default.
Terry would be thrilled but I live in Germany - the default settings are somewhat behind in conservative Bavaria sadly.
adds not all Bavarians are like that caveat
I don't have the time to go through their web feed, am sure I could find flaws in their stats (90%-99% of transition/somatic treatment is successful? Not from some of the detransitioning stories I've read).
No sign of antisemitism though and the I'm not antisemitic but statement is Vergangenheitsbewältigung is a huge thing here.

Oooh, what's a FART? I might be one. I think I'm already a TERF if I understand correctly; someone who wants to protects womens rights and safe spaces? I want to be a FART too!

exactly, Erythronium.

igneo I am fluent in Fränkisch I'm not but with a Radler or two , basst scho!

feminism-appropriating reactionary transphobe, demented
some crap acronym McKinnon was tweeting.

What's FART

I think it Feminist-Appropriating Radical(?) Transphobe, or something like that. It was a Cyclepath invention, IIRC. Didn't catch on.

Ah, Reactionary, thanks Rage.

How dare those wimmins have opinions without checking it won't hurt feelz beforehand!

Calling us anti-vaxxers when you're anti-science and put feelings over facts 🙄

Alcohol certainly helps with Fraenkisch rage If you turn all "t" into "d" and "p" into "b" you are almost there anyway.
