There was another wedding gift thread!

always brings out the pettiest & craziest posters who seem to live in 1950

I saw this one.
And responses are awful everyone saying they hate wedding anyway. Bunch of miserable c##nts.
I am literally chomping on the bit to get to my friends wedding in August. A big duck off party after 18 months of lock down yes please!

Weddings are like a summons to me, I'd probably have been straight in to that one giving my opinions. Alas and alack I'm a retired mumsnetter.

And where in the UK are they? It's been raining non-stop here. No tutu-wearing kids dancing around the fields. No bum shuffling babies looking cute. I am glad MNHQ removed the disablist terminology she used though.

What words did she use? I missed what she said originally. Im calling another bull thread here.

Tbf it’s been quite nice here today in the Midlands. No rain but some wind, around 21°c.

She said the bloke looked at her baby with a moronic idiotic expression, like he thought her son was a cretin.
3 disablist slurs in one sentence which she's now denying because MNHQ edited her OP.

Almost like she was goading them then…

I have to be honest though that I had no idea that ‘moron’ was disablist slur until I went on Mumsnet.

I didn’t realise idiotic was a slur

Me neither! Nor ‘cretin’.

I just think they hate men on there.
No matter what the thread is about the man is always the problem. He's definately cheating even if it's nothing to do with that at all, and he's definately abusive whatever is happening.
They think all men are abusers. It's the answer on most threads.
Yet if a woman is even admitting being abusive they still blame the man and say its his fault. If its a woman cheating then it's his fault somehow as well. Yet they'd be outraged at it the other way round.
Its bizarre.

I remember reading a thread on there by someone asking if it was ok to use the men's toilets if the ladies was busy. A lot of posters said they did use the men's toilets and it was fine.

You can bet your bottom dollar, they'd be up in arms if a man used the ladies toilets.

Interestingly, there’s been a couple of threads on there from the reverse in the past week. A woman grabbed her partner and pulled him off the sofa, then slapped his face and everyone was in support of her, saying they would have done the same and it’s ‘different’ when women do it to men. I’m as feminist as they come (and I probably do hate men lol) but violence is violence and inexcusable from both sides, imo. Then there’s a thread running at the moment where the OP is finding her partner repulsive because he’s put weight on over lockdown and is trying to get him to diet and posters are telling her it’s ok, it’s all about his ‘health’ and it’s fine if she finds him totally disgusting these days. Just imagine what the replies would have been if it had been a man posting about how his wife was now a large mess. There would be uproar.

Idiot, moron and cretin were all used as terms to described neurodivergent people. That's why it's disablist. The village idiot of the olden days was most probably mentally ill. Cretin, I think, was a condition related to a lack of thyroid hormone during pregnancy causing low intellect. Same with moron - a person who was not bright.

Funny how she never makes those spelling mistakes on Twitter isn't it? If it's the one I am thinking of.

Something fishy

???

They hate weddings because the attention is not on them.

In the style and beauty section everyone seems OBSESSED with Seasalt. I'd never heard of it till Mumsnet, checked out the site and the clothes are the most banal, insipid, mumsy boring clothes you could imagine. Yet they all rave about it?

I was a child of the 80s, so too young for them then, but the Seasalt sandals look exactly like what my older cousins wore in the 70s.

Don’t forget Boden too

I remember a thread where a poster was going to a wedding and she asked if it was ok to wear her Van trainers as she had foot problems. The Vans were a lovely colour but Mumsnetters were lining up to tell her she was wrong and falling over themselves to post pictures of the most hideous Sandals known to the planet. Think a high heel version of the Seasalt sandals.

I don't get the sneering about Primark on there either.
