NYTimes Comment Says You MN Witches Are Bots

The comments in today's NYTimes article are overwhelmingly pro women's sports vs incursions by trans women. Almost all are extremely respectful of trans people's human rights not to be discriminated against in employment, but overwhelmingly in agreement that women and girls sports is not for male bodies.

However, one poster seems to think y'all sending over radical bots from UK.

Made me giggle and thought you'd enjoy it.

Them Brits and their non-American attitudes. Wink

It does make me laugh to think that the thousands of us are actually just 6 people with hundreds of accounts! It would make a pretty good film/ documentary.

Oh they're just jealous Grin

Whatsnewpussyhat · 29/03/2021 23:08

They just like accusing us of all the shit they do.

I suppose being called a bot makes a change from extreme right wing evangelist.

StillWeRise · 29/03/2021 23:08

hahaha gender essentialists

If i was a bot I'd programme myself to actually be good at housework. Grin

How does that square with the claim that we're tech-phobic, home-maker boomers, then?

Plenty of American women are gender critical. Any American media that I have seen that have higlighted Mumsnet as drivig the GC conversation have generally failed to mention something like the feminist forum over at Lipstick Alley which is much less moderated but I guess interests them less because it doesn't fit the narrative they want to push that 1. Every GC person is white 2. Its just the Brits that are questioning it

Thelnebriati · 29/03/2021 23:27

Whats that thing about accusations being admission?

saltedcaramelchocolate · 29/03/2021 23:33

Is bot the new word for T*RF?

thirdfiddle · 29/03/2021 23:45

If bots can come up with that much empathy and reasonable argument, perhaps they should be encouraged to take over the world. Goodness knows humans aren't making a great shot of it.

I cant get the image to open Sad What does it say. I want to know what demonic cult I am part of.

What with Reclaim These Streets labelling us meanies who are deliberately trying to derail their group we must be an army of thousands!

Wbeezer · 29/03/2021 23:53

You're not wrong about Lipstick Alley, it's full of outspoken women, that don't tow the lib fem party line, i find it very entertaining but the interface is horrible compared to Mumsnet.
If I'm a bot I've been playing the long game, I've been on here since DS1 was a wee boy and he's now so old he's graduated, grown a beard and is starting to go bald like his Dad!

Funnily enough I was trying to order on a website yesterday and it kept making me do the captcha thing, the first reason was that I was clicking faster than a human so may actually be a bot.

So there's the evidence of botness right there.

stumbledin · 30/03/2021 00:04

Oh no RabbitOfCaerbannog - I saw your bot picture fine Grin

I meant tne image of what was said in the comments to the article.
