Want to know what I dislike most about feminism?

Stereotypes?

"all men are pigs, all men are rapists, men don't care about their kids, only men are perpretrators and only women are victims, all men eat children etc etc"

Some feminists even want men to take responsibility for the actions of rapists and apologize for them.

Well the reality is everyone is different and unique. Some men are pigs but some aren't, but some feminists just love tarring everything with the same paintbrush don't they?

Oi, Dave! Get your dick out for the girls!

hester · 11/01/2011 22:52

Dave, I can't help feeling you can do better than this. Do try. Right now you're letting me down, yourself down, and the whole of trolldom down.

Am I really anti-feminist when I want equality for both genders? Isn't that the definition?

Because I was accused.

A different opinion to yours doesn't automatically equal trolling.

Of course you're trolling. Why say otherwise?

Dull trolling though. Hackneyed Sad

sethstarkaddersmum · 11/01/2011 22:43

probably tired ones, you can imagine the scenario - 'All right then Dave. All men are rapists. Whatever.'

ButterPieify · 11/01/2011 22:41

I own the SCUM manifesto Grin

DH bought it for me, also DD1 did get hold of it and rip it a bit.

Slightly concerned that baby DD2 has only ever managed to rip a little bit of a bible...

"No MN Feminista has ever expressed any of the statements expressed in the OP."

Perhaps not real feminists but many women claiming to be feminists certainly have.

I am not trolling.

section that should say obv, not session

HerBeatitude · 11/01/2011 22:38

I haven't come across any man-haters in the feminist session Gigantaur.

Only in RL and on the rest of mumsnet, and they are the women (and some men) who don't identify as feminists or feminist sympathisers.

And now I really am off to bed. G'night everyone. Smile

"Takes off dungarees, stomps out burning bra, shaves legs"

Your words not mine.

"there are however a few who do match the stereotype you portray and that is a shame. it is the "man hating" feminists that cause so much bad feeling towards the movement."

Yes!

on the whole the feminists on Mn are very intelligent and well informed.

there are however a few who do match the stereotype you portray and that is a shame. it is the "man hating" feminists that cause so much bad feeling towards the movement.

but thankfully they are the minority extremists you find in any movement.

I think you should spend a little longer on the feminist pages Dave, you may be surprised.

thefinerthingsinlife · 11/01/2011 22:31

Since when have we stopped conforming to stereotypes? was it in the newsletter?

TCOB · 11/01/2011 22:30

To be honest I only judge men on whether they are a good shag or not. Sorry!

sethstarkaddersmum · 11/01/2011 22:30

he's probably done his homework and read this

(btw guys, apologies for my last post - I've asked MNHQ to delete it)

Ormirian · 11/01/2011 22:28

And another reality is that some feminists are sensible reasonable people who don't conform to stereotypes. Shocking, I know....

hester · 11/01/2011 22:27

All men are obviously rapist pigs, and all women are wonderful or innocent victims of the pigs in their lives. Come the revolution men will be women's slaves and we will all have hairy legs hooray.

There you go, Dave, now you can quote me.

Yawn.

HerBeatitude · 11/01/2011 22:27

So Dave, can you offer any hard evidence of your opening assertion that your list of crude and simple-minded stereotypes is what feminists think?

And er, with regard to your question, "want to know... etc", the honest answer is, no not really, no-one actually gives a shit, you're not that interesting, you're not that bright and we don't really care.

You're not David Cameron are you?

It's just us feminists, when we aren't plotting to ruin mens' lives or comparing labia, we love a good bra bonfire :)

TCOB · 11/01/2011 22:23

Okay maybe not bra-burning. But I am worried about child-eating. DH is looking full and I haven't heard anything from my DS for a few hours...
