Never even heard of it until today, and feeling the STW hate towards it.
Just wondered what mumsnet has done that is so bad.
Its full of women and women scare the average STWer
Was going to ask same thing
im aware of it, not enough to hate it tho
snakes with tits 😉
Dunno, never been there. When ever they crop up in the media they do seem to have got awfully reactionary and not a little ignorant about the original issue.
'cos it's even more of a work-time gravity pit than STW.
and the Relationships page is so fascinating you'll never leave
<heads off to mumsnet to ask why they hate STW>
Do they?
EDIT I've just seen the other post and voted!!
Because people who start sentences with the words "as a parent I think/believe" are worse than Hitler.
I read a piece not so long ago, i think in the Sunday Times, regarding its Forum bullying culture.
It's basically like STW, but mostly women! 😛
so lots of post about losing weight, relationships, legal advice, DIY going tubeless and tyres...
I suppose I should make some of comment about lubing your axle or something like that too
I didn't realise people actually hate them, I thought they just found it mildly amusing to troll them
bullying culture!, have you seen the times talkback, its like this place only more rightwing
Mumsnet thread goes like this....
Title: I'm worried that my Husband is going to leave me.
post #1 Whilst going shopping in Stockport the other day I caught my DH looking at this girl at the bus stop.
We got onto the bus and sat down, it was crowded and the girl was now standing near us. MY DH stood up and let the pretty girl have his seat. She fluttered her eyelids at him and said thanks.
When we got to our stop at Hattersley I asked the girl if I could get past. The girl said no worries, this is my stop too. I am now concerned that after what has happened today that my husband might see her agaain.
post #2 If your husband is acting like that I'd be careful, from small acorns oak trees grow.
post #3 Make him sleep on the sofa tonight, that'll sort him.
post #4 That's how it started with me, my ex gave up his seat to an elderly lady on the bus, and two years later ran off with a colleague who works in his canteen.

post #197 Maybe have a chat with him if you think there is a problem, doesn't sound like it to me though.
post #198 ^^^^ WTF. !!! Looks like we've been infiltrated by a man again.

I hate it because it's full of [i]people[/i] who consider themselves wise and superior by virtue of the fact that some poor idiot accidentally empregnated them at some point.

That's a bit strong. 😯
That's a bit strong.
As a parent I think it isn't.

Seriously, you've got to love a forum that has a sub-section entitled, "Am I being unreasonable?"
And if Mumsnet scares you, I really, [i]really [/i]recommend you stay away from any wedding/bridal forums.
well there's strange, i was halfway through reading the other mumsnet thread and it's disappeared. Iz we being hacked?
wheres it to?
Anything with 'net' in the title should be viewed with suspicion IMO.Or am I getting paranoid and it's only a 'cyber' version of chatting over the fence......I could be wrong.......and if so why don't they 'just' chat over the fence? PErhaps they do have something to hide, are they plotting men's downfall (or has that already happened and I'm only just catching up?)
AIBU is always good for a laugh.
yep, other thread is definitely vanished. Perhaps that Sophie from the competition is making like that fella from BikeRadar the other day and coming in "all special ops" on us. 😆
Does anyone have an idea why my thread was removed?
I hadn't seen it in the last hour or so, did it get nasty?
2unfit2ride, if it was your thread i would have thought you could ask a moderator nicely about it. But not talk about it on here afterwards 'cos that's not cricket.
But it probably did get silly/nasty knowing this place on the last warm sunny afternoon of the year (well down here it is anyway) when we're all stuck indoors.
But I like the 'Sophie as hacker' explanation best. 😀

eeek, I missed my chance to post on it 🙁
I get some info off it sometimes. maybe more than here.
In that comic why is H putting sunglasses ontop of his sunglasses?
stw should challenge them to an argument

-brilliant!
Its full of women and women scare the average STWer
some of the threads I looked at led me to believe that there were no actual women present 🙂
Cetainly the thread that was removed on there was considerably less well mannered than the one complained about on here!
Mumsnet appears to be full of middle aged women who have let themselves go complaining that there husbands look at other middle age women that haven't.
I think people hate mums net cos it's full of holes...
They all need to WTFU over there.
Sounds horrific and my idea of HELLLL..............nothing worse than parents bleating on about how good their kids are .. ooo and isn't it nasty when they get competitive abotu what Jonny did at 5 months old ......
I worry that it may just be...

This must be from someone on here...
I like it as does my DH. Its a fundemental part of almost any relationship. If you have a healthy attitude towards it there is nothing to hide and therefore nothing to be embarrassed about.
We like to put a DVD on fast forward it, stop it at a random place and act out the scene that is on.Imagine my surprise when I ended up in a gangbang with 4 rather well endowed coloured chaps.
Anywhere that has the open discussion of EWCM is frightening. Get your excuses ready if googling it with male colleagues around...
Do you think pinksock is a sister of wizard sock?.
has to be a wind up surely.
Having just had a look at it, I imagine that most people will, like me, find it to be the whiniest bunch of toss they've yet read.
Oh, and the [i]acronyms[/i].....in the names of all the saints, there can be no excuse for DH (dearest hubby), DD (darling daughter), PFB (precious first born) etc, surely?
Good enough reasons?
Overbearing, over protective, over opinionated Mums = RUN AWAY!!

I wondered what they meant when I had a look. That really is gunshot worthy.
I thought DH stood for downhill.
No wonder they banned me for asking whether they liked 8 inches in the front.
AIBU ?

fag, phone, pushchair... 400 chavvy mothers in one place... no thanks.
I want to like Mumsnet to use as a resource as a new parent but some of the bitterness/relationship-stuff just puts me off. Are people that incapable of talking to another adult/compromise etc? Strikes me as indicative of the quality of the posters sadly.
What also peeves me is the undercurrent of 'man hatred' as well.
I know its called Mumsnet however it shouldn't be that inclusive but more open to parents as I imagine some females are also put off (my partner is).
This could be ripe for a new parentsnet forum IMO.
There are loads of other forums though on mumsnet though hora, if you want to use it properly I would just avoid the relationships page and post on the others which mostly don't get trolled. For some reason the relationships page gets badly trolled which a few stw'ers might be guilty of doing I seem to remember and that's why the topics get heated so often, because it's clear someone is taking the piss. You don't find many trolls or bitter nastyness on threads discussing more serious issues like still born/ miscarriage/ infertility etc.
you know how some people do nothing but go on and on and on and on about their kids and nothing else???? they have broadband and go on the internetz
This is a bit of a wild guess, but I think there's a bit of a backlash because frankly we're sick of hearing about it. So there's a forum on the interwebz where likeminded female parents hang out and ask each other things?
Well f*ck me, who woulda thunk it?
Politicians act as if it's the second coming or something, spending time asking their opinions, answering their questions and so on. Bit like playing on ****tter cause it's kewl, izzit. Just give it a friggin rest.
Plus we [b]know[/b] what forums are like, and precisely how much press they should get generally...
