What are the things that women talk about on social media that men don't? Funny/serious/angry/sad/dog meme?

Gather round - we might be in for a wild ride.

How we had to set up our own hobby groups because we weren't welcome in the main group for being the wrong sex. (You don't do said hobby with your penis.)

ArranUpsideDown · 13/02/2020 14:00

My impression is that it's mostly women who post about the grind of TTC or the decision to go for IVF.

What has the author of ‘how to be a woman?’ and the extoller of feminism actually said on the current threats to the:
legal rights
definitions
speech
gatherings
safety
boundaries (add more - there’s a longer list)
of women and girls?

Menopause?

Herocomplex · 13/02/2020 14:07

I’m always looking for her words on these issues, all shes said it’s a broad church and everyone’s welcome I think ThinEnd
I’m really disappointed in her silence on this, but she’s mates with Sali Hughes, who’s mates with Paris Lees. I guess we can draw conclusions?

RubyViolet · 13/02/2020 14:13

Herocomplex correct. That and the fact she doesn’t seem to be bothered. She monetised “Feminism” for the £££ and dropped it when it became too challenging.

Herocomplex · 13/02/2020 14:26

it seems strange that one of the biggest issues in feminism is just not discussed by her.

FebruaryRainandSleet · 13/02/2020 15:19

Crikey, I don't think DH 'discusses' anything on the internet (except maybe how to mend something obscure). He reads stuff but doesn't join in.

FebruaryRainandSleet · 13/02/2020 15:21

He'll sometimes say, 'Could you ask MN about [holidays in Ireland/new washing machines/special needs education/roofing felt]' but wouldn't dream of discussing it himself.

Childrenofthestones · 13/02/2020 19:45

Is Moran GC or has she drunk the cool aid?

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 13/02/2020 20:02

She has not shown one ounce of being GC.
I have been waiting for her to add her voice.
Tumbleweed.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 13/02/2020 20:04

Thanks for your info.

Yes - very disappointing.

MintySpud · 13/02/2020 20:05

She's infantile and a huge coward IMO.

RubyViolet · 13/02/2020 20:07

Who knows if she’s GC or pro genderism. By saying nothing meaningful about anything she’s protecting her brand.

Alonelonelyloner · 13/02/2020 20:10

I read her first book when it came out and even at the time I found her incredibly irritating. I don't think has gotten better the last 10 years (or however long it is!).

JoyceDivision · 13/02/2020 20:16

A vacant sound machine who piggy backs any trendy cause that's safe... Then the foghorn goes quiet when it's too controversial

MintySpud · 13/02/2020 20:19

The classic scathing spiked review of How to Be A Woman.

NextdoorNeighbourIsATwat · 13/02/2020 20:26

She just repeats herself endlessly on a few select, superficial topics. Not GC I wouldn't have thought

Binterested · 13/02/2020 21:39

I’ll bet she is GC. But she won’t say one single word. Despicable.

One of the most depressing things in this whole thing is intelligent women crawling up the backside of the rainbow stasi.

I found her incredibly irritating on Naked City and that were nigh on thirty year ago...

RubyViolet · 13/02/2020 21:53

She could maybe talk about this too. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/feb/13/female-homicide-victims-england-wales

But maybe that would upset the menz.

The classic scathing spiked review of How to Be A Woman

That is brilliant. I never liked her.

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 13/02/2020 22:36

I have never seen that review either - it holds no prisoners!

We're from the same region and I wanted to like her.

I just wish that she, or one of her friends, like Grace Dent, would say something.

Isn't she also friends with Hadley Freeman though?

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 13/02/2020 22:36

I absolutely love Della, the mother character in her sitcom, Raised By Wolves.

Della would surely be GC (this quote is about periods):
