Posie Parker. For women and children. I adore her.

That's all.

Okay - I apologise for comparing Posie's hair to a 1950s housewife. That was irrelevant and unnecessary. Sorry Posie

Is that a deliberate missing the point non- apology?

You were being criticised for the utter crasness of criticising what another woman wears. Posie does have a groomed , 1950s look about her. So what? There is nothing wrong with that. It is none of your business how she dresses or presents.

I think some people are overly invested in the "correct" ways for certain groups of people to present.

Looks like you're being accused of being a board plopper who's come running over from Twitter to take MN screenshots from posters on here to say "look, they're so meannnn" hmm

But mumsnet is an open site, anyone can take screenshots? You don’t have to comment so strange.

R.e posie, I do wonder what the final straw for her fan club will be. I mean if a white supremacist who took advantage of a disabled teenage girl isn’t bad enough to stop people fawning over her, I’m not sure there is any limits to this. Which worries me, for where this will end up.

I do wonder if it is purely dedication to be fiercely loyal to one of ‘your own’ no matter the cost, more than actually believing your/her statements, guess we will never know, since no one will ever admit to the former.

Fell free to exercise your creative writing skills.

Yes, but it's done to insinuate your intentions and discredit your posts/opinion, you're right it is strange to paint people with a different view as must be being a TRA from Twitter rather than just actually engage.
Heaven forbid it's actually people with their own mind and opinions and not some lurking net baddie which some would rather have people believe than actually engage -
Must just be easier to try and discredit and dismiss for some instead, I dunno.

People have engaged with you Wotcha - but when they did, you started shrieking about being called a wife beater - which you weren't.

It was pretty embarrassing (albeit rather amusing) and Willis is trying to pretend that it did not happen.

Not trying to derail, honest guv; but this comment way back caught my eye:

"Re the scary 1950s housewife persona - if you put yourself in the public eye in the way she has done then image does matter. Look at Danielle Muscato - their image really hasn't helped with the cause they are trying to promote and it's the same the other way with Posie."

What do you seriously think DM's cause is? IMO it is not trans rights. Consider if DM's 'cause' was getting their jollies by making women uncomfortable. Would they be as uncomfortable if DM passed? In which case, how DM chooses to present would help that cause.

And as for PP's look -she looks like a woman.

Maybe you just expect people to let it lie when it happens to them, or feel upset enough to be hounded off but I won't be.

I can't help it if you're upset because I drew attention to your MO of using loaded questions.

But I'm glad to have educated you about the correct terminology for your strategy.

You're welcome.

And the fact you reported my post and are trying to get me banned is vile I tell you, vile.

Fan club? Final straw? One of your own?

You do realise, don't you that threads about Posie run and run, because of the criticism of her, not the support?

People find out much more about her, get to see her videos, get to see her owning Harrop, because of all the jealousy and resentment that she inspires in people who other her.

Datun, sending much respect.

Yeah me too Datun

Thank you ! As ever, it's nothing that I ever do or say that makes a difference to people, it's getting other people to do things which is the reveal.

Never fails.

Willis, you really are just a very silly billy.

Floral! Based on this thread so far, this is likely to lead to pages of outrage that Willis is not a foolish male called William.

Gasp

Today has been a top day for the reveal.

One can't help but be left with the impression that there's consternation among the ideologues.

As long as no one says

‘This is like flogging a dead horse’

We should be ok

Oh hi FloralBunting 👋 very diplomatically put. I feel a similar way about Julie Bindel - some things she says I wholeheartedly agree with and some I just can't get on board with so I get where you're coming from.

So yep we'll have to agree to disagree re PP.

Oh shit 😳

Awaits call from RSPCA

As long as no one says

‘This is like flogging a dead horse’

I was going to make some reference to throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I simply dare not now, for fear of social services bursting in!

Its just terrifying isnt it buzz 😨
