3 questions for GC women

2 replies

ChirpyFinch · 28/08/2024 00:27

As the title says, three questions for the women in this chat.

  1. Do you think the majority of people are gender critical, and why/why not?

  2. Globally, the right wing is more vocally gender critical than the left. They are also far more likely to be regressive on a range of women’s issues like abortion and anti-gay. Why do you think they agree with GCs on this one issue but disagree on so much else (if you think they do?)

  3. How many trans people do you estimate there are globally?

Hi everyone.

We want to address some recent activity on this thread to clarify our rules and general expectations.

First and foremost, Mumsnet is committed to being a space where a wide range of views on sex and gender can be discussed openly, provided they adhere to our guidelines. We understand these are sensitive and polarising topics, but it’s important that everyone feels comfortable sharing their perspectives, even when they may differ from the majority opinion.

Unfortunately, we have seen some attempts to derail this thread by posting irrelevant content, which disrupts the OP's questions and derails the conversation. Please remember, if you don’t want to engage with a particular thread, you’re free to hide it or simply not participate.

Chasing off users who hold different opinions, or creating an environment where only one viewpoint is welcome, undermines those efforts. We're not an echo chamber and we don't want to become one either; Mumsnet users hold a variety of beliefs, and we want to keep it that way. If we drive away divergent voices, we risk turning this site into a place where only one perspective is heard – and that’s not what we’re here for.

Being one of the few places to host these discussions has come at a significant cost in terms of advertising revenue and moderation resources, in return we need all users to stick to the rules and engage respectfully. As always, any views expressed within our guidelines are welcome here. But if users continue to disrupt discussions or refuse to engage in good faith, their accounts will be closed.

Thanks
MNHQ

@BeckyAMumsnet surely when questions are not asked in good faith and reponses clearly have an agenda, this is a bit moot? Have been on lots of threads (eg, Barbara, the allotment thief trilogy) where banter and recipe exchanges have supported the conversation and engaged all participants, including the OP. In this case, the apparent disingenuousness of certain replies has set the tone and we’ve responded in kind?

Hi @CautiousLurker if you think a poster isn't here in good faith then the process would be to report them to MNHQ and let us decide based on the information we have.

We have much experience of posters being accused of not being here in good faith simply because they have a different point of view. As we said - we are not and nor do we want to be an echo chamber.

There's a difference between banter and deliberate derailment - we can tell the difference.
