Ok, I’ll be sure to be careful in case the nasty ideas infect my brain 👍

now you’ve delivered your warnings, would you like a slice of fruitcake? It’s the Nigella one with cubes of marzipan

BaronessEllarawrosaurus · 14/06/2023 11:11

I do think there is a misogynistic slant to the dm pushing this. I'm not convinced they care about women but whatever the reason they do allow articles and for that I'm thankful

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 14/06/2023 11:14

Oh yes, the DM thoroughly believes in gender

they just think only women should be feminine and only men should be masculine

nonetheless they have a pleasing lack of tolerance for violence against women

The world is far more complex than “right bad” “left good” the goodies read the Guardian and we sneer at the Daily Mail readers. Those were simpler times long gone now.

Wishitsnows · 14/06/2023 11:15

The daily mail have been very good at reporting and highlighting the trans issue and the impact on women. You can see from the comments under the articles that people weren’t aware of some of the insanity. They have a huge world readership so the reporting is reaching millions worldwide.

Many years ago I was told it aims to be a paper for women and it certainly living up to that .

I was told this too! 25 years ago by an economics professor interviewing me for a uni place. He asked me what newspapers I read. I was 17, I didn’t read any newspapers but didn’t want to admit that. My nan read DM so I said that. He said “that’s just a woman’s paper, I mean what proper newspapers do you read?” 😵

I’m from the north and I like my fruitcake with cheese

I'm not sure what is worse, cheese or nuts.

Although I guess at least nuts are actual fruits.

55balloons · 14/06/2023 11:17

@Wishitsnows that's it, they have a huge online & social media presence. Also their articles are very easy to share on WhatsApp etc.. They are spreading the word & reaching all for corners..

Read everything, with an open mind and critical faculties engaged.

Flag waving is as pointless as guilt-by-association, tbh.

What next? A Dan Wotton appreciation thread? Scraping.

LakeTiticaca · 14/06/2023 11:20

Strange isn't it nowadays that if you don't fit into the very narrow parameters of what is deemed "correct think" you are labelled as a nasty right wing fruitcake"
I read the Daily mail, I dont give a shit what a bunch of rich trendy socialist lefties think of me.
George Orwell got it spot on. .....to the letter

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 14/06/2023 11:20

Yes, I should say that nothing on earth will persuade me to routinely browse the Mail’s headlines in the way that I do on bbc news (god help me). The place they’re coming from is just too far from my POV, it’s like trying to eat a sandwich with sand in

that’s not going to stop me reading Mail articles, particularly if they’re the only ones providing coverage of a certain item I want to know about (as routinely happened until recently)

Hmm interesting.... maybe that's why they go in so hard on this issue then?
Not because they give an actual shit about women which people seem to think.
More like making sure we all stick in our rigid gender boxes?

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 14/06/2023 11:22

Dunno badger, but if the end result is fewer sterilised children I’m all for it

I'd be interested to know what sort of influence the DM wields that they 'make sure' of that. What's a 'rigid gender box,' BTW?

Absolutely. Worldwide attention needs to be drawn to the castration, sterilisation, mutilisation & hormone therapy that children are being put through.

I do media sources such as the Daily Mail, Times, Telegraph, New York Post, Gript & Fox News are rapidly raising awareness.
Now Elon Musk (a parent of a trans child) is advocating against the sterilisation & utilisation of children & Reem Alsalem from the UN is advocating for women & children.
Pride is getting no attention.
I think big changes are on the horizon. 🙏

Not literally make sure of course.
They can't literally enforce.
When I say make sure I mean by writing articles, and influencing public opinions etc.
Which certainly seems to be working on some posters who think it's because they care about women.
Nothing else they do seems to indicate that

55balloons · 14/06/2023 11:30

@BodgerLovesMashedPotato name one other media publication as invested & committed to raising public awareness to the threats posed against women as the DM. Name one.

What, you mean like every other newspaper does? shock horror.

We're so lucky to have thinkers like you who see the DM nefariousness and to set us silly wimmen right, then.

Never will I praise the daily mail. What a rag

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. The Daily Mail is proudly mysoginistic and right wing, be careful where you are heading.

Except right now it appears to be just about the only mainstream paper that is highlighting this epic misogyny, and standing up for womens rights.

So maybe be careful where YOU are heading?

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 14/06/2023 11:34

I love the periodic interjections from the

i’ll never read the mail!! Crew

such deep thinkers

really backing up their views

IcakethereforeIam · 14/06/2023 11:35

They're probably more on the Matt Walsh side, but keep that in mind and I don't see a problem.

I still read the Guardian more than the DM. The only DM articles I read are the ones flagged to me or that I stumble across links to. Even doom scrolling in the wee small hours I won't visit the DM website. But I've no shame in reading and sharing the articles that I find that do interest me.
