Really. Just heard about this as a "thing". Honestly, like there aren't enough important issues out there some women feel their biggest battle is AGAINST feminism. Lets just shoot ourselves in the foot then. Gaaaah!!! Had to get that off my chest Grin

Interesting article by Louise Pennington here

Oh reah, and for those who feel feminism hasn't done one thing or another for this or that (eg 16yo mums on sink estates) - thank you , bang on. Jobs not done, is it?

Wow, so I missed out on a whole heap of discussion in the last week!! Having caught up, as the OP I felt it with summing up my opinion (yes, I'm conceited like that) Grin. (A) young women against feminism are disrespectful of their mothers/grandmothers/distant relatives/friends thereof who have made it possible for them to be voting, working, educated women with CHOICES. They may not choose to be feminists themselves vocally, but that choice would not be open to them without "radical feminists" like those who threw themselves under horses to get this years' crop of new voters that right. We wouldn't say it's radical now to claim a female vote, and we may in 100 years (or less) see some radical feminists of 2013 as leaders instead. (B) the older you get, the more choices you make in life, the more you recognise that those choices make you a feminist of some sort. Deny it if you like, if you are determining your own future then YUP, your a feminist. Because its a broad theology, even if people in this thread even aren't always treating it as so. You can be extreme or mild, but most of us are on the spectrum somewhere...Wink . I bet those women like the Dove advertising campaign. Yup, they are secretly feminists too! (C) progress isn't linear. What worries me about these women being anti- feminist is that there could very quickly become a period of time where we look at 1950-now and say "golden age for women's rights in the west". I fear this - actively. You have only to look at Afghanistan to see how quickly a country can renege on women's rights. Ok, it would take A LOT for that to happen in the UK, but actually, I could envisage a time where the US started going that way (vis. Abortion rights, etc.). So that is why I find the "movement" disturbing. It's unfair to history, untrue to the women themselves, and more importantly could unravel what we've all achieved.

Just off for a picnic in Perry Woods. In case any MRA want to come and find a real life feminist and abuse me in person. I'll be the one holding hands with a man and occasionally cuddling a male child....

I had roast chicken. Smile

CaptChaos · 03/08/2014 13:04

ABland sounds yummy! Sort of like our 'iffits' - if it's in the cupboard, and I can be arsed, I'll cook it.

CaptChaos · 03/08/2014 13:02

No..... we already have already covered that..... you chose to ignore it, so we're choosing to ignore you. So far, you have not adequately proved that any of your MRA pals have been threatened by anyone. Prove it, and we'll pat you on the head and tell you to do one of the many things that feminists have been told to do when MRAs attack them. Including your friend judgy bitch. Who is an MRA. By her own admission.

You'll notice I'm using very small sentences, so that you can more easily pick out the few words you will quote to attempt to make me look like a bad bad person. You know, without including letters from other words.

Happy days.

"Fridge surprise", in which ABland cooks everything in the fridge that's near its Best Before date Grin

mehekugi · 03/08/2014 12:56

"Whatcha having for lunch?"

This is what a feminist says in response to hearing other feminists have threatened a woman for starting a social media hashtag.

That says it all.

CaptChaos · 03/08/2014 12:56

I think we'll probably go out for something, then take the hounds for a postprandial constitutional, as one does Grin

You?

ABlandAndDeadlyCourtesy · 03/08/2014 12:51

Yeah, fair point capt.

Whatcha having for lunch?

Mehekugi, you read all those awful horrible threats and you pick one that you don't think is a threat, even though "meat" is a well known sexually objectifying phrase for women?

Agenda, much?

CaptChaos · 03/08/2014 12:36

Thanks for the personal abuse, pretty typical to be fair, but not very imaginative.

mehekugi · 03/08/2014 12:35

"All that meat mmmmmm"

You call this a "threat"??

Are you calling her a liar?

If that load of bollocks you have posted are examples of threats made to her, then, yes, I rather think I am.

The following are actual threats, made to a feminist by both men and women. I'm sorry if they make you feel nauseous, they would do that to any human being. She received these threats because she had the temerity to give a speech about domestic violence and rape. I really apologise that they will be horribly triggering to a lot of women.

I’ll start off with the ones that saw it as more of a game; these often came with hashtags like #rapecrew and #rapecrewforever appended to them:
• You need a good smashing up the arse
• Call the cops we’ll rape them too
• Everyone jump on the rape train —–à @Ccriadoperez is the conductor
• So looking forward to titty-fucking you later tonight – I’ve got an invitation to your anus
• Some of us, me, don’t need consent to know what a bitch needs
• Wouldn’t mind tying this bitch to my stove
• U wanna rape with me? – this was said to another man, including me in the tweet
• I always whisper “surprise” well not always, but it’s implied
• Carpet-munching cunt needs to get raped
• All that meat mmmmmm
• Can I rape you?
• Im gonna rape you, be very afraid – enjoying having the media at your doorstep? Better hope there isn’t a rapist disguised as a reporter
• Silence is golden, but ducktape is silver
• This joke is like a rapist. It’s going to score whether you like it or not
• RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE over and over again in capital letters
• Seemingly supportive message with #hopeyougetraped at the end
• Sent me pictures of sexual assaults, of domestic violence, of men’s faces twisted into deranged expressions, with words like “ain’t no brakes where we’re going” or “There ain’t no breaks on the rape train” superimposed over them.

And then there were the more overtly violent and graphic messages:
• @rapehernow disgusting bitch…should have been aborted with a hanger
• SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH…OR ILL SHUT IT FOR YOU AND CHOKE IT WITH MY DICK
• After strangulation, which organ in the female body remains warm after death? My cock
• Stop breathing
• I will find you – just think, it could be someone who knows you personally
• @rapey1 WOMEN THAT TALK TOO MUCH NEED TO GET RAPED
• rape her nice arse
• Raped? I’d do a lot worse things than rape you!!
• I’ve just got out of prison and would happily do more time to see you berried!! #tenfeetunder
• I will find you and you don’t want to know what I will do, you’re pathetic, kill yourself before I do #godie
• I’m going to pistol whip you over and over until you lose consciousness while your children(?) watch and then burn your flesh
• I hope you get raped and die soon after #bitch
• You’ll never get me…you’ll only feel my cock when it’s raping you slut
• Open that cunt wide bitch…you about to feel da pain
• I’ll paint your face white while you beg. [look up] To be released LOL
• I have a sniper rifle aimed directly at your head currently. Any last words you fugly piece of shit? Watch out bitch.
• UR DEAD AND GONE TONIGHT CUNT. KISS YOUR PUSSY GOODBYE AS WE BREAK IT IRREPARABLY
• FIRST WE WILL MUTILATE YOUR GENITALS WITH SCISSORS, THEN SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE WHILE YOU BEG TO DIE TONIGHT. 23.00
• And finally, from a man who repeatedly tweeted at me about how I was a witch: Best way to rape a witch, try and drown her first, then just as she is gagging for air, that is when you enter

And then of course there were the bomb threats, like:
A car bomb will go off outside your house at 11:40pm. I will be watching you to make sure it does
A BOMB HAS BEEN PLACED OUTSIDE YOUR HOME. IT WILL GO OFF AT EXACTLY 10:47PM ON A TIMER AND TRIGGER AND DESTROY EVERYTING
And even the joy of some racist abuse like: Perhaps if you keep your fucking spick bitch nose out of UK politics you wouldn’t get abuse

And then there was the taunting about how powerless I was:
Blocked me other account, many more lol
New account up and running lol
It’s great to be back after 30 seconds

mehekugi · 03/08/2014 12:12

"So..... no actual threats at all,"

Are you calling her a liar?

CaptChaos · 03/08/2014 12:10

So..... no actual threats at all, just a sad regurgitation of time honoured MRA tropes and bullshit.

Thought so.

Micah Holand "Feminists be like: "we need more female ceo's. But the number of male garbage collectors, soldiers, construction workers, coal miners is just right" feminist hypocrisy is almost too good to be true"

mehekugi · 03/08/2014 12:06

quote from Facebook

"Shiva Alexander G - Woman shares picture claiming that all men are predators, she suffers 'stare rape' or men are to blame because no one dates her. *feminist silence

  • Woman shares picture about making her own choices and not identifying as a feminist for it. *feminist outrage ensues* OH MA GERD YOU IGNORANT!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT FEMINISM IZ!! FEMINISM LOVES MENZ!!"
