BTW, how do you chaps manage your nasal hair?

Mine are ginger. Removed with pliers and then shipped to Scotland to be turned into Irn Bru.

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.

isn't that manly exfoliating?

Surely a real man would allow his nasal hair free rein and it would become part of a matted mass of nasal hair, moustache and beard. As I'm not a real man, just biologically male, obviously I let the barber trim any excess nasal hair, bushy eyebrows, and unkempt facial hair.

ArthurbellaScott · 10/11/2023 16:40

I have a nasal weave.

TinselAngel · 10/11/2023 16:41

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.
Well he very rarely comes on here any more so we achieved that much.

Of course I'm a real man. I have a man's brain. Although I'm a bit weird and complicated. I go to a Turkish barber locally, he's a wizard with a hot flannel.

Like Gandalf doing the washing up?

TinselAngel · 10/11/2023 16:48

But yes the women who politely engaged with Hayton on here are partly responsible for his rise through the ranks of supposed feminist organisations and him obtaining a second career in journalism. He has played women very cleverly and gradually escalated with progressive disclosures, all to protect primarily himself in the name of caring about women's rights.

I for one am entirely consistent as I started the Great Mumsnet Pushback Against Hayton, following the Stella O'Malley documentary and have been consistently rude to and critical of him on every form of media possible.

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

The strop or the razor? 😮

JanesLittleGirl · 10/11/2023 17:02

I've never thought of deploying the razor. Obviously not manning properly.

TinselAngel · 10/11/2023 17:02

My last ex had a cut throat razor and he used to hang the strop on the hook on the back of my bedroom door. Made us look like a right pair of pervs.

LarkLane · 10/11/2023 17:13

As you say Tinsel, even politely engaging is not an honest exchange, it's always a manipulation. You know this best of all.

Like the telephone scammers who say Good morning how are you today?
It's a means to an end with their eye on getting your bank account details and rippping you off. Same technique.

I have to log out sometimes when I see those who think they know better endlessly engaging. I was here pre DH, at one point I had to stay away for a long time. It wasn't doing my blood pressure much good.

This Board taught me to listen to what women here are telling me. When there's a heads up, it's for a genuine reason.

Datun · 10/11/2023 17:14

That made me laugh out loud.

I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of Gandalf doing a bit of hot flannelling.

Datun · 10/11/2023 17:15

I was responding to this!

Datun · 10/11/2023 17:23

Same.

Every time I've ever thought, ooh that's a bit harsh or that sounds extreme, I've been bloody wrong. It's generally not harsh or extreme enough.

Which was very forcibly born in on me in the halcyon days of GenderTrender.

Gallus Meg just assumed that every single man who came on the board was there to manipulate, and very likely have a wank about it.

They would always, always just say they wanted to talk/listen/compromise. She made up the rules so wasn't bound by any censorship. After literally one or two of her non cooperative, well placed, responses, their masks dropped and they went into full foul mouthed rant mode.

At which point she banned them.

Women with power. 'Twas a thing of beauty.

Yes I remember this too. Loved Gendertrender. The comments on Feminist Current articles were often similar. Meghan Murphy also took no prisoners!

Datun FWR should be a degree - the stuff I’ve learned……

Totally. I genuinely think feminism should be taught in schools. And not the fun kind.

Helleofabore · 10/11/2023 17:59

Even Mr Menno has advice for us on this.

https://x.com/mrmennotweets/status/1723029301157659118?s=46&t=HTxp6zCd4GZ2FFv4a-YeQ

I have trimmed a few words from the start so it doesn’t get deleted.

“I had last year with a woman who used to run a fancy dress shop. She mentioned how some men would come in to try on women's clothes, but not just that - they would have a special request: could she please ask her female staff to tell these men how ridiculous they looked? For what they were really after was to be ridiculed and humiliated - by women.”

“Imagine just turning up for work and blokes like that trying to make you an extra in their little sissy porn fantasy.”

“The woman would say "No" but that in itself was a form of rejection that gave these men a thrill, and some would become quite stalkery as they needed to get their kicks.”

Hanlonsamazer · 10/11/2023 18:03

@Helleofabore that is fucking disgusting. These invaders can’t know how grubby and sordid we think they are, or is that all part of it?

Helleofabore · 10/11/2023 18:11

Hanlon

I have come to believe that it is part of it. That being humiliated in any way is part of it, being encouraged is part of it. I have to say that there are more than one regular poster on this board that seem to have the same objective and it took me a while to realise it but regulars probably can think of who they are.

TinselAngel · 10/11/2023 18:30

We can't have any enjoyment can we, when they even get off on us taking the piss?

Catsanfan · 10/11/2023 18:32

Just watched Menno's In the Ladies and it depressed me so much I had to watch the Y Chromosome song to cheer myself up

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/11/2023 18:37

Recipe chat is the only way to go.

That and cheese, Tunnocks and how we are all men.

I accidentally outed myself earlier on the last one when I suggested that I wasn't manning properly.
