Mumsnet weirdo having a go at [spoiler]'s parents.

[holyzombiejesus]

Some woman on mumsnet posted the following (now deleted).



Note the 'will explain more later' bit at the start.

So she posts that and loads of people agree with her and say the man should have slept on the floor with the dad and stuff like that. I was bracing myself for some horrible terfy 'gotcha' but would have never in a million years guessed it would be this...



What the fuck is wrong with people?

[imitationleather]

That is fucking hilarious.

[Alberon]

She has a point though.


_{She is a totally appalling person thoughThe Mumsnet poster, not Anne FrankShe was appalling tooOnly kidding!}

[Sebastian Cobb]

That is fucking hilarious.

This, saw it on twitter earlier and thought it was a decent bit of trolling. My favourite part is how the thread didn't seem to be particularly stunned by the revelation and were just carrying on with "yeah I always thought that was a bit weird actually, she didn't seem to like it in her diary".

[bgmnts]

Burst out laughing and assume this was a joke.

[Jittlebags]

Makes a change from penis beaker.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Imagine reading about Anne Frank and that being the take from it.

Aside from anything else, it wasn't a two bedroom flat, it was a tiny space of 450 square feet  that they remained in for just over two years.

[beanheadmcginty]

At least I now know Anne Frank's cup size.

[Butchers Blind]

Close one, looks like those Nazis saved Anne from a fate worse than death.

[thenoise]

She was bloody lucky something dreadful didn't happen to her.

[BlodwynPig]

"...she didn't seem to like it in her diary"

I bet she didn't

[popcorn]

what does DDs mean?

[Butchers Blind]

what does DDs mean?

Usually it's tit size but in Mumsnet world it's 'dear daughter'

[touchingcloth]

Makes a change from penis beaker.

Muppets consider recasting.

A post that manages to both sexualise a 12 year old girl and demonise some poor bloke with no evidence, when talking about Anne Frank no less, is pretty much the most mumsnet thing I can think of

[pancreas]

That is absolutely wonderful. touchingcloth, do you want to own up to this?

touchingcloth DESTROYS Anne Frank on mumsnet

[Kankurette]

Mumsnet being shitty about Jews, quelle surprise. Only time people on there cared about us was when they wanted to stop JC and thought they were saving us by not voting for him.

And they're wanging on about migrants right now and why should we take them and why are they all men, etc. And some goober on MN Trolls actually claimed Mumsnet was left-leaning. Christ.

ETA: Frank hated the guy she roomed with but there was nothing remotely sexual going on at all.

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

1) probably because women and children have a higher chance of being fucking trafficked
2) are they "men" or are they 18 year old boys whose mothers want them somewhere away from fucking ISIS and/or the army so they don't get recruited

Me? Grassing up the Franks? To the Nazis? With my reputation?

And isn't it often the case that the men do the dangerous crossing and risk death in the hopes that they can settle in a country and then bring their wife and kids over in a more safe way?

Edit: Oops. Wrong thread.

Yeah, there are far more men seeking asylum than women, but it's more dangerous for women and children, and refugees do have limited rights to bring families (people they were living with before they fled, not distant relatives).

[idunnosomename]

imagine being such a busybody that you think there's a danger of someone you're giving refuge from the Shoah would use the opportunity to nonce your daughter

I'm not sure 'busybody' quite gets to the heart of this person's twisted view of the world. I really hope they're just an honest-to-goodness salt-of-the-earth troll.

[touchingcloth]

I don't really get the "It was Anne Frank" bit in the second post from the OP. Who was? The 50 year old man? The pair of - presumably Gentile - DDs?

The girl who was sharing with the 50-year-old man. The post was literally describing and questioning the Frank family's living arrangements in hiding in an attic.

[Dex Sawash]

How about some names of the people so I don't have to google it and then end up down the hairbrush rabbit hole like last time CaB dropped an AF factoid on me.

But that was with the Frank family. The strangers were outside of the hiding place, so it doesn't work as a post.

I'm fine with the general thrust of the post, it's just the bad analogy which rankles.

The guy Anne was sharing a room with was Fritz Pfeffer, aka Albert Dussel*, a dentist who was living in the annex with the Franks and the van Pels (aka van Daan) family. Miep Gies, one of the women who worked in the building where the annex was (and one of the 'helpers'), was one of his patients and he knew both the families. He was originally from Germany and he and his gentile girlfriend fled to the Netherlands when the Nazis got in, and then when the Netherlands was occupied, they had to live separately because of them being a mixed couple. When Pfeffer moved in, Margot shared a room with her parents, while Anne had to room with Pfeffer and the two of them got on each other's nerves, like, a LOT. This weirdo seems to think Pfeffer was some kind of sex pest. There was nothing sexual going on, if there had been Anne would have written about it (she wasn't shy about talking about her feelings for Peter van Pels, the other teen in the annex, or being a bit bicurious). He was more religious than her as well, so presumably he would have been praying a lot and that probably annoyed her as well.

(*Anne gave the other families in the annex pseudonyms. I wish Barry would bring back footnotes.)
