Stopped for a pint at a bar- looked in the garden and there was some crusty scabby guy with a couple of others so I decided not to sit through there.

Had to go through there to use the loo after a bit and this bloke, with dreds and a tattoo on his forehead, was in the lady's loos. I wish I'd confronted him.

I assume he thinks having long dreds makes him a woman. Envy

We are talking about a British man in a British pub so yes, you are whatabouttering. It doesn't matter what Maori (or other non Western people) are doing. This op was talking about a British, Western man. So stop making this into a race issue when it isn't

No one said british western man - by which you mean white. Plenty of British who don’t meet your definition.
I’m in aust and I too wouldn’t make generic comments about facial tattoos

allyjay · 18/08/2023 00:46

Meh ok can't be arsed arguing with you over shite all until OP comes back to clarify was it UK and was fella in question white (can pretty much guarantee it was both 😊)

allyjay · 18/08/2023 00:49

Anyway does it matter whether he was white, black, brown, Maori? He was some lad in the women's toilets

British doesn't mean white

White doesn't mean British

I'm mixed race but get mistaken for white at a glance, that doesn't mean I don't still have the cultural heritage that I have

I agree the tattoos shouldn't matter to the topic

But they apparently mattered to the OP who mentioned them originally and said that they aren't a good idea for anybody and they mattered apparently to the poster who suggested that people with facial tattoos are more likely to be psychopaths

Perhaps if there hadn't been so much judgement over something that is completely normal in lots of cultures the topic wouldn't have got diverted?

allyjay · 18/08/2023 00:55

Yes you're right. Doesn't matter. OP was saying some lad was in the women's toilets. Does NOT matter what race he was

allyjay · 18/08/2023 00:57

Or what tattoos he had. He should not have been there.

allyjay · 18/08/2023 00:59

So you're right, forget about the tattoos, this fella should NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE WOMEN'S LOOS

Facial tattoos in the U.K. are rare enough to be noticed and people with them may be viewed with caution. Many tattooists refuse to do them.
I think most of us got the picture

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:07

What's your opinion on some bloke in the women's toilets Ifeelsuchflutterings?

What's your opinion on some bloke in the women's toilets Ifeelsuchflutterings?

I've already stated that multiple times

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:08

So I don't really get your beef here?

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:11

It doesn't really matter if said man is white, black, brown etc or has dreads or facial tattoos, he should not be in the women's toilets. So what is your point now?

Ifeelsuchflutterings · 18/08/2023 01:11

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:08

So I don't really get your beef here?

You don't get the beef with people from my culture being labelled psychopaths, based on some historically Christian Western principles?

Or the fact that cultures like mine, and facial tattoos like those in my culture were banned and suppressed by western cultures.

Or that it would be nice if feminism was about equality for everyone, not everyone who looks right (white british in this instance)

I'm not sure I can explain it to you then

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:15

I'm sorry to hear that your culture has been labelled as psychopathic and treated in this awful way, I really am. But what has that got to do with an adult male using a female toilet?

Because it happened on this thread and that's what I was responding to when I was told to be fucking quiet

allyjay · 18/08/2023 01:21

Well I'm sorry for that. So back to the thread, this man should not have been using the women's toilets right?

Ifeelsuchflutterings · 18/08/2023 01:23

Thank you for your apology

It does matter when the thread gets detailed by offensive racial stereotyping yes.

Does the UK not have Maori's living in it? I must tell my neighbour to move...

More to the point the OP mentioned the man in question having dreads, which may have been locs and therefore a potential to be from a culture more associated with facial tattoos.

I've apologised. You can choose not to accept it.

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/08/2023 01:56

You apologised for:

The OP referred to a bloke in a pub and going to the loo so I'm assuming the UK not NZ.

And

people would know from context that I was talking about twatty men in UK pubs using the wrong loo. Not people receiving Māori tattoos.

I would love to know why Maori people are only going to be found in pubs in NZ?

I grew up in a village where a Maori man (with tattoos - shocker) actually ran the village pub, hence my confusion

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/08/2023 02:17

@Ifeelsuchflutterings you are angry with me, you probably have good reason.

I'm not going to prostrate myself to try to have you like me. IRL I have wonderful supportive and respectful relationships with lots of indigenous people. Their opinion of me matters.
