Continuation of Thread 2.

There is so much excellent information and so many active discussions on FWR that I wondered if it would be useful to have a thread to sort of "cross-fertilise" between them - airing little thoughts or vignettes that wouldn't themselves merit their own thread, to highlight other posts/threads of particular interest or to point to notable developments on fast-moving threads so that casual observers know where to look.

(For example, "the X thread has meandered onto a fascinating discussion of Y" or "Poster P's amazing analysis on thread Z might have relevance to the scenario in thread W" or "Has anybody noticed this recurring theme that keeps coming up??" or even "Random bloke asked me to smile while I was choosing onions, grr"- that sort of thing).

and fr those that haven't read any threads lately, the thread below is worth a quick read

www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4726257-nick-timothy-in-the-telegraph-on-the-grr?page=1

As it is about a very interesting article which mentions (I'll use any excuse)

It is how nobody stops to ask how many such men are moved to act in these ways through their own sexual desire. Autogynephilia, the feeling of sexual arousal some men feel as they pretend to be women, is according to some researchers behind many or even most cases of gender dysphoria among those born as men.It is legitimate to ask whether non-consenting women ought to be participants in such sexual fantasies.

now to go with this new thread we will need provisions

Well I didn't join the last 2 but here for this one.

Just seen JKR's tweet of earlier today.

The number of men telling her she's wrong about misogyny. Even when it's spelt out some people refuse to see.

Boiledbeetle · 25/01/2023 15:26

Can everyone go and get cake she's refusing to leave thread two till its dead

Thanks for starting another thread. I’m finding it so useful to have a general chat thread here - easy to follow all the news.

MissLawls · 25/01/2023 15:40

Hate to be a pedant but that bar looks like a bog standard dairy milk bar. No fruit and no nut! Fruit and nut is better. Obviously.

She's got it in her pocket, she's good at peeling tangerines without anyone noticing as well!
