River Island 'Anti-Nag Gag'

Really. You have more important things to think about then women who are raped by their boyfriends and don't even recognise it as such? You have more to worry about than men who are raping their girlfriends?

Good for you.

Women sometimes nag

Men sometimes nag

Women can be lazy

Men can be lazy

Less a disgusting item, more a slice of life.

I'm sure theres a Womens version out there, but hey ho were all adults aren't we :)

Frankly there are more important things for one to concern ones self with.

HTH.

Not sure why the writer is getting that much flak. She effectively just wrote the list out. The list was compiled by other women's answers. The only thing she didn't do was emphasise how awful & criminal some of the items were.

I don't think she ever intended to provide any analysis. Maybe she should have (although tbh the list speaks for itself).

Or is it the premise that the MRAs are getting in a lather about. That women dare to question what men do to them in bed?

Anyhow, back on topic... it's a disgusting item and I'm disappointed that RI have ever stocked it.

To be honest the article is not about true feminism more something that young(ish) girls would titter at over a glass of Chardonnay. An insult to the intelligence of just about everyone.

Just to be clear (as I don't think my earlier post was), I don't want to tar and feather the journalist, nor to demand her excommunication from the sisterhood. The piece she wrote for Metro was shite and completely unpardonable. She's taken a lot of flak for it on social media, and deservedly so, but some of it has been abusive and misogynistic (a woman who writes frankly about sex is a slut, obviously). So now she's digging in. I hope she'll be able to distinguish the valid criticism from the invalid, but I fear she'll just block it all out, because we're drip-fed the idea that feminists and misogynists are parallel versions of the same stifling, authoritarian enemy.

Enzima Thank you for that, just the information I was looking for. I shall keep my eye out for her further work and see how the feminist blogging pans out.

It is astonishing really. Sometimes people just see what they want to see.

I think actually Grimble the mazupams of this world hate women, not just feminists.

That's what the Mazupas of this world have to do - pretend that any old shit they object to is written by a feminist, 'cos that way they reinforce the hackneyed old idea promulgated by other Mazupas that feminists are man-haters.

They hate feminists, ergo feminists must hate men.

Logic fail.

The woman who wrote that article is a feminist. No doubt about that.

She has a blog, in which she poses as the voice of a gender/generation to insist that young women are "quite happy settling for a mediocre job" rather than competing with men; equates wanting to have children with happiness, and working with lack of fulfilment; and describes her #2 "life milestone all women in their twenties should aim for" as "buying yourself a really expensive pair of shoes". She writes copious lists of fashion trends, but none of feminist theorists.

Nevertheless, a man has stated with enormous self-belief that her feminism is beyond doubt, so I shall bow to his superior everything by concurring.

Christ that list is just absolutely fucking awful.

And clearly someone is playing silly buggers, pretending that they didn't understand the one about blow job/gag reflex.

On the basis of which, I would suggest ignoring.

and there's no such fucking concept as misandry ffs!

It's as likely and as possible as being racist toward white anglo-saxons.

It's not a feminist pic, we went through that before. I even stated myself that it's distasteful.

The journalist isn't a feminist either. She writes lists.

You really are a ridiculous excuse for a person, aren't you?

You don't read an misanthropic article properly, and then tell us that that's what we believe. You then insult us when we point out that you're wrong. You constantly and spectacularly miss the point of anything that is said to you.

I believe TereseaGreen has a question for you. She appears to be the only person who still has time for your ineptitude.

These trolls are messing with my mind. I don't even know if I want the vote any more.

mazupan - what is it about the article that makes you think it's a feminist piece?

The fact it's not complimentary towards men?

If that's why, then you don't know what feminism is.

Buy a jumper from River Island, fine.
Wear it with a nag gag and you're a misogynist!
No wait, a feminist!
Who likes the smelly body parts? Is that the misandrists? Or the daily mail?
I'm so confused. :(

So what the hell does a picture of a woman putting her shoe in a man's face have to do with "equal rights"?

They were 3 happy couple pics. So that makes the feminist pic ok does it?

What shit logic.

Her name is on the page. It isn't that difficult to miss.
