Original poster

I've got quite a simple question that I just can't answer - why would a woman not be a feminist?

Surely everyone wants equality of opportunity, don't they?

Would appreciate the opinions of those feminists far wiser than I.

I didn't insult anyone else or say anything that wasn't true.

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 23:21

Very childish imo.

I didn't come here to have a fight I came here to tell you why I thought that some women didn't want to be feminists. I have witnessed people on this forum tell people they can't be feminist if they are a sahp which plays into a stereotype and deters women from wanting to be feminist. I don't know why I have been asked if I was dropped on my head when I was a baby and called a twat.

When did I offend or belittle someone sorry I must have missed that.

Again they aren't my mythical standards I didn't make the stereotypes nor am I the one that tells women that they can't be feminists because they are a sahp.

I pointed out that women have been bashed on this forum for being a sahp you cannot deny that. That reinforces one of the stereotypes. I have never been on an mra forum and I wouldn't go onto one either because most of them are dickheads

MitchiestInge · 18/03/2011 23:03

even intelligent and thoughtful men will have little of value to add to a discussion about what women think and feel

Where? You keep banging on about "some feminists". Who are they? Where are they? Is it the ones they talk about on M R A forums? They can never seem to name or quote any (non-fictional) ones either.

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 23:00

My purpose is constructive debate just what exactly is yours when you are insulting me for no reason.

There was a question asked I answered with what I think deters women from feminism.

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 22:55

I didn't say that the irony in that post/thread was reinforcing the stereotypes I said that there are feminists reinforcing the stereotypes that were in that thread.

MitchiestInge · 18/03/2011 22:55

not that it isn't very thoughtful and helpful of you to add your insights and ideas omg but what is your actual point? That feminists should - what?

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 22:53

They are quite obviously views held by some feminists if you deny that then I suggest that you are the one that is being obtuse. As for posters defending themselves there was nothing to defend against. I would understand if I had insulted the poster I commented about but I didn't and no it isn't considered bad form considering a lot of people have posted about what other people have said in other threads.

AyeRobot · 18/03/2011 22:53

Did you get dropped on your head when you were a kid?
