I'm also a man. Look at my clothing label!

@AlphaTransWoman does it put you off chatting to us now that you know lots of us are men?

catduckgoose · 10/11/2023 13:21

The only thing that would put him off is being ignored. He's been all over MN trolling on different topics.

I know, I know. My manly guffaws at this thread are all guilty ones, honestly.

Men don't always get the birds eye view of the sort of grubby and manipulative sexism we see on here.

They're much more familiar with the ubiquitous building site cat-calling version.

The former is incredibly prevalent of course, but many men will often miss the 'tells' that women clock automatically.

Another reason why FWR is so useful.

Spending time here should really part of a GCSE.

@Datun
I don't really get on with men. Women have always been nicer to me.

Men are afraid of men laughing at them.

Which is one of the reasons why the ones dressed as women don’t go into the correct toilets.

So, that KJK, hey? Great bunch of lads, so she is.

Well, since we are fessing up. Sitting here in men's trackies and with a borish username like I have - I too must be a man! And I don't profess to be fucking nice to anyone. Oh... and I fucking swear a lot which has been commented on so many fucking times that it is fucking ridiculous at this point.

And everyone knows I've identified as a boiled beetle since I was 4!

You know the older I get the more i realise that rather a lot of men are just Annoying Greedy Pricks who want things that aren't theirs to take.

I believe these were meant to be socks.

I've had a busy morning checking out my chin stubble, so just catching up.

@RethinkingLife You are thinking of Kirklands. Ranelagh Street turns into Hardman Street as you go up the hill coming out of town. I think the Greek restaurant was called Anthony's? Great food.
Catch up with your links there soonish, maybe?

@Ereshkigalangcleg A weekend in Croxteth is not something I'd usually consider for a short break, although for me, still marginally better than the suggested MN spa breaks.
My Grandad often frequented the little local police station, long gone. He liked it so much, he sometimes had a sleepover there, or so my Nan told me anyway.😁

LarkLane · 10/11/2023 15:16

@Hanlonsamazer I'm sorry to read that things are still tough - especially coming up to this time of year. When things aren't great, sanctimonious pricks are even more tedious than usual.
Here to listen anytime, just DM me if you want a rant, or just a friendly wave.
Willing you on out of the shit. I'm sure you will do it. x

You'll need these before you touch the socks

Any advice for my chin stubble mate?

Syrupycake · 10/11/2023 15:35

Well, as a man I prefer a proper badger hair shaving brush and a solid shaving soap. With a proper razor with blades. There’s a lovely barbers in Jermyn Street in St James’s London, which sells all the best gentleman’s products. I go there once I’ve bought my annual pair of churches shoes

LarkLane · 10/11/2023 16:10

That's where I'm going wrong, I'll change to a solid shaving soap as I'm a martyr to the shaving rash. Thanks pal.
Jermyn St. as a recommendation comes up so often on these threads, I'll make it my business to go, next time i'm up in the City for A Very Important Meeting.
Cheers.

TinselAngel · 10/11/2023 16:12

Is that near the good bowler hat shop?

Cutthroat razor for me. Sharpened on a leather strop which also comes in handy for maintaining discipline within the household.

JanesLittleGirl · 10/11/2023 16:24

BTW, how do you chaps manage your nasal hair?

ArthurbellaScott · 10/11/2023 16:24

I just rub my face on a rock. It doesn't quite get rid of the beard but it gives a nice sort of scoured finish.

BonfireLady · 10/11/2023 16:26

FFS.
The first time I called out the red flags I was clearly too nice about it. Point taken on that front ladies.

I have no interest in being a bit part in any performative fetish art entitled Nurses Are Kind in Prison so I'm going to write generically, rather than directly to anyone. The script writer either wilfully or nefariously doesn't even recognise which Artistic Grand Performance genre it falls under. Although whether they do or not is irrelevant.

Many people who have mental health issues find it difficult to STOP THE FUCK what they are doing and get help. As stated previously, I have no emotional attachment to the outcome of whether this help is sought and is successful but I would hope for the person's sake (and anyone in the life IRL) that they at least tried. Parading narcissm around on the internet is not going to achieve anything.

Ps apologies to the poster who told me on a Mumsnet DM that this was narcissm. I agreed on the DM and the comment that I wrote after that on this thread was my swansong message to the narcissistic person, both acknowledging the content that had been spoken about in an interesting way (very much like the Debbie Hayton thread, where lots of posters were engaging politely with Debbie, even though Debbie had written an article in the Times which was very self-centred and narcissistic) and calling out the red flags that had happened after I had left the thread to which I was referring. It was never my intention but by saying that I had "enjoyed" the conversations on that thread may well have been hurtful to the person who DMd me when they saw that phrasing. If that was the case, I am sorry.

One thing I flatly refuse to accept though is responsibility for any transwoman tramping over threads or in to a support group. I would strongly suggest to anyone that wants to hold me responsible for this that they take a read through what was said to Debbie Hayton from multiple posters and then take a moment to think about whether any of those posters (some of whom are on this thread) are or were responsible for what Debbie Hayton was already doing back in 2018, in both the Times article and beforehand, and continues to do today. We're ALL saying no in various different ways. It's being ignored.
