Yeah, sorry mazupan, could you just quickly answer my question please? You state categorically that that shite article, which you didn't even bother to read before you posted it on here, and have been desperately trying to make out to be in some way anti men, was written by a feminist. Who works for the same company as the Daily Male. Could you please give me her name? I really do need to contact her reference her inability to write from a feminist perspective.

You also pointed out that the first picture is of a woman with her foot in a man's face, which is distasteful, but you failed to comment on the other 3 pictures, which are of obviously happy couples being happy. Did you miss them at all?

Are you ignoring me mazupan? I hope I have requested some clarification in a respectful manner. I do not wish to be rude.

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:58

It's fine to bash men until the cows come home, but if you even look at a woman the wrong way you're a "misogynist".

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:57

Saying it isn't attractive when men don't wash = fine

Saying it isn't attractive when women don't wash = misogynist!!!

But that's feminism for you.

I don't want to feed anything but my own brain. Apologies for my selfishness. I have an inquisitive mind.

Ach, don't feed the troll.

TereseaGreen · 06/05/2014 18:54

I'm going to wait here patiently. I'm nice like that.

The Metro is the same company as the Daily Mail.

Really? And you seriously think that pile of shite article was written from a feminist perspective? Are you really this stupid or are you being deliberately obtuse?

Given that it was according to you written by a feminist, can you tell me which one? I can't seem to find a byline there at all, so that I can write directly to the journailst and point out that they have suggested that anal rape is just an annoying thing men do, that they can't write in complete sentences and that they need to send their feminist card back, because they're doing it wrong.

"and let fly with insinuations that the posters' genitals smell? "

Looks like someone wasn't paying attention.

I was pointing out if I were to take what the article said and swap the genders around then there would be accusations of "misogynist".

And you proved me right.

TereseaGreen · 06/05/2014 18:53

Mazupan could you kindly answer my questions? I have a particular thirst for arguments based on generalisations and I am eager to hear how you aquired your knowledge on women and how your experience has shaped your analysis on women in general.

Thank you.

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

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:50

The Metro is the same company as the Daily Mail. I'm sure they'll take your complaint ever so seriously and give their sincere word it will never happen again.

Where does it state this is a feminist article? Most of the responses here (on the Feminism boards) have expressed just how much they dislike the article. If it was aimed at feminists then they have missed the mark.

All articles aimed at women are not feminist. That notion is quite silly really.

You seem to enjoy making generalisations about feminists and women in general. This is interesting. Do you assume we all conduct ourselves in the same manner or is it easier to assume we all do in order for your theories to carry some perceived validity?

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:40

Again, if a man said "eewww" because of a woman's choice in underwear you would be quick to shout "misogynist"

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:39

If you lot all think men are rapists who wear baggy boxers (quote from the metro's feminist "eeewwwww!!!") and have smelly sacks and penises feel free to leave men alone.

mazupan · 06/05/2014 18:37

If one takes something a feminist writes and then writes the same thing but with the genders swapped one gets accused of being "misogynist".

Double standards much?

If it's "misogynist" to point out it's unpleasant to give oral on an unwashed woman, then by the same logic the article must be misandrist for pointing out it's unpleasant to give oral on an unwashed man?
