I can't quite work out why this annoys me so much. Thoughts?

There is the rather obvious use of past tense for starters ...

LOLOLOL at this surely it's a piss take?

It has to be, right?

Tell me it is

Can you imagine being stuck on a desert island with that lot and knowing you were going to be there for 20 years and if you wanted sex, it was going to have to be with one of them?

The utter desolation. The despair.

Oh shit it's more of those 'we support women's liberation' tossers. Of course they know far more about it than we do, we're doing it all wrong. Thankfully they're here now to save us all from folly, madness and manhating. Oh, and I bet the'd be willing to shag us too.

To be fair, you can't draw any conclusions about the opinions of sane people from youtube comments anyway.

Wasn't the grey haired one the boss bloke on Fantasy Island?

I'm waiting for the sequel, myself. It will be called 'You bitches, we have shown you our sensitive side and you still won't go out with us.' Or maybe just 'Waaaaa!'

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 12:13

you could tell

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 12:13

Yeah could tell they all had stiffies really meant it.

Ahem

Dear Men,

We, and by "we" I speak for ALL womankind, forgive you. That's why they call us woman"KIND" - we are kind and feccund, and so forgiveness sprouts forth from our Godessy parts.

We, understand that sometimes it is hard for you to battle your natural superiority manliness. Because you are weak, you have made mistakes and forgotten to make allowances for us feeble women. Like an older sibling winning a race in the park, you look back at us struggling on our weak little ankles and feel remorseful that you didn't give us a headstart. We probably should have taken better care of you and then you wouldn't have been so mean.

But now you are sorry. All of you. Every single man. And so we clasp your bald and beardy little head into the smothering warmth of our heaving bosoms, and we forgive you too.

There. All better now.

I feel a bit ill after watching that.

Oi, creepy guys, actions speak louder than words. Apology, smology.

Bwaghahaha! Knobbers.

Eew. I need a shower.

Creepy and so, so wrong.

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 10:18

Thank you seth. Grin

I'm in the process of moving out of my house in order to do some major work to it - this is what happens when I have too much to do and am a bit stressed. I let loose here a bit rather than face the mountain of tasks.

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 12/04/2011 10:12

you've been on very good form lately Beachcomber. Wink

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 10:11

Oh and bet these obliviousness knobheads think that our ladybrains will be flooded with gratitude, and we will be so admiring of them forgiving themselves for centuries of oppression (that was never their fault in the first place), that we will swoon with thankfulness. (To our knees, they hope.)

Ooh they have got right on my wick.

InmaculadaConcepcion · 12/04/2011 10:04

Nice of them to apologise on behalf of their sex Hmm

I felt like a lot of it was them saying "sorry we've been accidentally shitty to you".....

So that's all right, then.

Earthymama · 12/04/2011 09:55

I follow a woman on FB and her 'thing' has always been about the strength and courage women find to challenge all the oppression and prejudice they face daily.
Recently it's all been about bringing men on board, engaging with their feminine side etc etc. I guess it's our role as nurturers? Smile
I just thought she must be in love or lust!!
However, I thought how hard it is to have this world view and live with men!

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 12/04/2011 09:52

oh FeMNists, I love you so much Grin

I haven't watched it yet but I HATE it when people idealize femininity. Ian McEwan does it all the time in his books.

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 09:49

"Unconscious masculine" "I'm aware of the forces of the unconscious masculine psyche"

Fuck off.

This is one of the most sexist, entitled, controlling, manipulative, self absolving, dishonest, egotistical, self satisfied, morally incontinent pieces of patriarchal bullshit I have seen in a long time.

Did anybody else feel really unsettled by the wholly fucking inappropriate and gratuitous images witch burning and child prostitutes?

Wankers.

Beachcomber · 12/04/2011 09:28

Did anybody else want to cattle prod the whole lot of them every time they said the word 'feminine'?

I'm not feminine you dickheads. I'm a human being.

They just got it so so wrong didn't they with all that sexist blinkered patriarchal crap about worshipping our beauty and femininity?

Fuck off you privileged narcissistic wankers - I don't want your chivalrous worship of my femininity. Femininity is my prison - it is a tool to oppress me.

Your apology doesn't count for shit if you don't actually understand what you are apologising for. Anyway - I don't want a creepy apology that just sounds like you are trying to get into my pants put me on a pedestal of femininity. I want you to stop with the oppressing already.

This is just New Misogynist.

Sheesh.
