No, I don't think this is hatred of a woman, not if you examine the other posts these dickless little boys have made from the safety of their stinking bedrooms, for them it's hatred of women, pure and simple, it's misogyny, not sexism. And like david_carnell, they make me ashamed of my gender.


Also, if you examine the abuse Ruby got from posters who could be positively identified as women, it was far more general abuse, nowhere near as specifically misogynist as the abuse that came from posters who could be positively identified as men.


And yes Tr? , the first bit of my post was in answer to you, making the same point as Red Devil's, though the rest of my post was for everyone. Sorry, I should have separated it into paragraphs.

You think there are lots of woman posting rape jokes?

Sadly, I was recently told a rape joke by a woman. The other women in the group that evening gave her an incredibly hard time about it.

I'll give an example from Frankie Boyle:


They?ve bought out a condom now for people with premature ejaculation and they?ve put an anesthetic in the lining that makes you numb and you can last for longer. Or, you can wear it inside out and you don?t have to wake anybody up!


There are jokes and there are jokes. Some people get upset about people using the word 'frape'.

I did it on purpose. Or is it not obvious to you?

But it rather undermines your own argument. Is that not obvious to you?

Or the uproar caused by those unable to refer to gay or black people without using such words?


ETA: Y'see I'm sure you meant "jokes that use unacceptable terms like..." or maybe meant to put inverted commas around both words, but by not doing so you you can easily be misinterpreted; pedantry perhaps but there IS a case for the proper use of grammar, punctuation etc.

I did think about apostrophes, or even asterisking some letters, but decided it'd have a better impact this way?

Pretty much. It's got a quite engaging pair - Mel & Sue - presenting, and Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry judging. It's funny, interesting, undemanding, and endearingly British.

Via the incredibly nastiness of some people for whom a cake show can only be improved by aiming rape jokes, disgusting insults and wishes of insane violence at one of the competitors, and indeed her family. Good work, some unspeakable human beings.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
