Did someone say overprotective?

I thought she was overly paranoid about him getting molested, but nope, she's just worried he might see a penis.

Like, holy shit lady, the reason getting flashed traumatises people isn't because they saw some genitals, it's traumatic because they know somebody just made them a part of their sexual gratification without consent. Just seeing a guy's penis out in the wild where penises are supposed to be isn't going to do your overprotected little mommy's boy any harm.

I wonder what her reaction will be to showers at public pools, saunas, gym locker rooms, etc and she sees a grody old man with his fucking cock and balls out in the fucking open with his bare ass pressed against the seat.

Epic drama as Mumsnet have launched a branded sex toy. As well as being a hideous monstrosity that no self-respecting woman would let within a hundred yards of her minge, it has provoked howls of rage from all sides. The pearl-clutchers are upset because it's being advertised on the site and little Johnny might see it and they don't know how to use ad blockers. The TERFs are furious because it's being targeted at "people with wombs" (who knew the womb contributed to sexual pleasure?).

After all the worrying and anxiety we've heard from these people about being deplatformed, they really can't understand that their forum is probably struggling to find advertisers? Be thankful it's not thirty 'hot singles near you' and darkweb drug marketplace pop-ups that infect your computer with a virus.

Labour MP Dawn Butler says she'll report Mumsnet to the Met Police after users criticised her reaction to Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict​

Archive
Labour MP Dawn Butler has vowed to report online message board Mumsnet to the Metropolitan Police after users on the site and other social media slammed her reaction to the Brianna Ghey murder trial verdict.

The Brent Central MP, 54, said she would refer the message board to the authorities after she claimed to have received messages from 'nasty, vicious, inhumane' people criticising her suggestion that the teenager's murder was driven by transphobia.

Trans teenager Brianna, 16, was stabbed to death in Warrington, Cheshire in February this year by two teenagers who have since been convicted of her murder. Police say they do not believe the murder was driven by transphobia.

After the teens were convicted, Ms Butler shared a video of Brianna's father Peter Spooner outside court on X, formerly Twitter, claiming: 'This cruel government has created so much hate towards the trans community they should be ashamed.'

But the comments were seized upon by Mumsnet users who accused her of 'crowbarring' in 'virtue signalling'.

Another expressed a desire to see the MP 'ratioed' on X - a term for when a user's replies are overwhelmed with negative comments, outnumbering supportive comments, likes and retweets.

Other users accused Ms Butler of 'weaponising' Brianna's murder, calling her remarks 'gross' and 'political point scoring'.

Ms Butler then tweeted: 'Oh I wondered where these nasty vicious inhumane people were coming from. Time for me to unfollow and report Mumsnet to @metpoliceuk.'

However, this post then attracted further criticism from users who accused her of stifling free speech. One said: 'Women are allowed to have a chat, Dawn.'

Another added: 'People criticised you for making wholly inappropriate remarks at the conclusion of a horrible murder case.

'You do know that criticising politicians for their public utterances is not actually illegal?'

One Mumsnet user said the notion of the MP reporting the website to police was 'bonkers'.

Mumsnet - which has previously been accused of hosting transphobic views posted by its members - responded directly to the MP's tweet, asking her to get in touch if she identified particularly troubling posts.

It said: 'Hi Dawn, our talk guidelines are clear and we don't permit posts that break the law, including hate speech. If you've seen a post that you think falls into this category, please do report it.'

In a further statement to MailOnline, Mumsnet founder and CEO Justine Roberts said: 'Our forum guidelines are pretty clear. We allow legal discussion, which sometimes means people will make comments that individuals don't agree with or like.

'We specifically disallow hate speech and deliberately inflammatory posts and we have an active moderation team who respond, on average in under an hour, to complaints about posts.

'It's somewhat ironic that Ms Butler chose to post her attack on Mumsnet on X (formerly Twitter) which regularly hosts comments that wouldn't last a moment on Mumsnet and where the moderation is light touch at best.

'We see this kind of double standard a lot and I'm beginning to wonder if it might be because Mumsnet is the only major platform dominated by women's voices.'

MailOnline has contacted Dawn Butler and the Metropolitan Police for further comment.

The murder of trans teen Brianna Ghey at the hands of two teenagers shocked the nation - but police who investigated the killing and ultimately brought her murderers to justice say they do not believe the crime was motivated by hate.

Her killers had drawn up a 'kill list' featuring four other children, while Girl X had expressed a fascination with serial killers.

Text messages sent by Boy Y made reference to Brianna's transgender identity, including referring to her as 'it', asking whether she was a 'femboy or a t*****?' and whether, when attacked, she would 'scream like a man or a girl'.

Detective Superintendent Mike Evans, head of crime at Cheshire Police, told the Mail after the trial concluded: 'If it was not Brianna, it would have been one of the other four children on the list.

'It is just Brianna was the one who was accessible at that time and the focus of those desires.

'In a strange way Girl X was obsessed with Brianna, almost attracted and intrigued by her. With Boy Y, there is some really horrific and dehumanising transphobic comments.

'Brianna was not killed because she was transgender, but the fact that she was transgender made her a bit more vulnerable and accessible.

'Whoever they had attacked that day they would have shown that level of contempt and disrespect for, there is nothing to suggest it was a worse attack because Brianna was transgender.'

The matter will be decided by the judge when aggravating factors are considered at the February 2 sentencing hearing.

Girl X and Boy Y will be named after they are sentenced after an application was made to the court on behalf of the PA news agency and ITV that has been supported by Brianna's family.

Trial judge Mrs Justice Yip said she was in favour of removing the restrictions, but said the order would only be lifted on the day of sentencing.

Lawyers for both defendants opposed the bid, citing possible consequences for the killers' families. Girl X's family have already received death threats, they said.

The prosecution took a 'neutral' position, Mrs Justice Yip added.

She said: 'The public will naturally wish to know the identities of the young people responsible as they seek to understand how children could do something so dreadful.

'Continuing restrictions inhibits full and informed debate and restricts the full reporting of the case.'

Wait… Is the sex toy just an ad, or something that the site has branded/cooperated in?!

Sorry, but not going to scroll through 25 pages of muns screeching about dildos to satisfy my curiosity.

Poor boy. I’ll bet this is just the tip of the iceberg and she’ll raise a very sexually/personally confused young man.

The Mumsnet thread about the same.


This comment there sums up the whole thing

So, someone tweeted at her:

"FYI you've been mentioned on transphobic forum mumsnet, that's where the pile-on is coming from"

She responded:

"Oh I wondered where these nasty vicious inhumane people were coming from.

Time for me to unfollow and report Mumsnet to @metpoliceuk

Thanks for the info Tom"

So:


  1. She hasn't read the thread in question, simply relied on a claim by someone on Twitter.
  2. She claims she will report Mumsnet (not just the thread, but the site) to the Metropolitan Police, and even tags them in, because obviously the Met don't have more important things to deal with than reading an internet forum.
  3. She is reporting Mumsnet, not because of anything that has been said on Mumsnet (she hasn't read the thread, remember) but because some people on Twitter have been rude to her, and she thinks they are people who have come from Mumsnet, even though she has absolutely no evidence that this is the case.
  4. Having decided to report a popular internet forum to the police on the basis of not a single shred of evidence, she has decided to announce this decision to the whole of Twitter, with no apparent consideration for how ridiculous it makes her - and by extension her political party - appear.


I ask this question in all honesty: how is it possible for someone so lacking in basic thinking skills to be an elected representative?

The only thing the post neglects to add is that this is all but guaranteed to be the incoming government next election.

Edit - there's also a more active thread there


Edit 2 - they linked to this delight
