Minor male entitlements

But it's always good to see the misogyny keeps oozing in. Proves the point of the thread.

Both boys with breasts and social x rays are fucking horrible ways to describe people. As is the assumption that women are only capable if reading one type of literature. Slightly lessens the impact of the put down really. Not surprising though, given who it came from.

You appear Buffy really keen to throw a blanket over what had actually been posted. I've never indicated a need/desire to reduce women's reported experiences of male entitlement - I wouldn't do it, not here nor in RL. But it's a seam you wish to consistently try to mine.
And I don;t mind advising you or Puffins to get a grip when the slight obs I had made were characterised as 'brute misogyny'. Only in a v small bubble of experience would that be sustained.
So yes, dragging those women who have suffered rape, and RS, into what passes as your 'argument' ( and grind about me) was remarkably cheap by you. But..unfortunately.not surprising.

But I'm rarely surprised by Larry's opinions

ABland and Buffy,

They are quotes, actually. Never mind...sense of humour (or knowledge of modern literature outside the feminist cannon) should not have been expected.

I'm surprised by Pan's attitude on this thread. I'm mainly off FWR these days, and appear to have missed his masculinist (?) development. Pan used to get it quite often - I mostly enjoyed his questions & contributions. He's been acting pretty much like a patronising twat today, though :(

"And it is not as if they are spending a fortune either as the 'social x rays' or 'boys with breasts' don't actually want to eat, or very little indeed...."

Christ, Larry. That's truly horrible. I won't be responding to any more of your posts.

And, also, in late response to a question above, we were talked into buying a Bugaboo when we knew nothing about the realities of babies and children. We ended up using a cheap second hand McLaren far more in the end, as it took up less room and was less fiddly.

'In fact larry's pram thing is also about women and children not taking up any more than their allotted space (whatever that may be - less than a man obviously) no matter if they need it.'

The pram is used to transport children too young to walk. When you arrive at your destination, assuming said baby is awake, you take it out of the buggy and sit he/she on your knee or beside you, depending on age. The buggy then gets parked out of the way, unselfishly.

And, yes, it is mainly women I see condescending to waiters as they try to squeeze between buggy equivalent of SUVs where little Petronella is not actually being got out and stimulated but parked with a dummy in her mouth. And it is not as if they are spending a fortune either as the 'social x rays' or 'boys with breasts' don't actually want to eat, or very little indeed....(I do realise that that is a little bit of a caricature, by the way..).

My point is not actually that women act in a more entitled way than women, which I don't actually believe, it is that both men and women can act in unpleasant and entitled ways in the UK today, and certainly in the demographic in which I live. If one did a survey, I suspect sex would not even register as a correlation.

You don't have to search, do you? I am ocassionally here.
Lets leave it here, shall we? Nothing gained, and share the

Buffy - all of those things you list are accurate. You were being 'cheap' re rape victims and RS, you were being 'boring' ( in 'having a go' - it's like clockwork), and yes, it reads like a little diatribe.

Buffy - you've taken time out to expand on what little you know of me. I don;t wish to 'derail' here (though I haven't 'digged' at you, whatever that means.) and fwiw my 'voice' here is no 'louder' than yours, and always much worse received. So I don't take well to your hectoring and attempts at 'bullying'. I know lots about male entitlement, being a male. So from the other side.
And yes it does appear as stalkerish stuff, tbh. I post, you follow up with some wildly inaccurate comment. Seems to be your pattern. So best wishes with that.

I used to use my pram as a weapon so no man dared not give way to me in a narrow space.

Just catching up..Buffy, something I missed previously.. please don't label me as a " nice right on" chap? It's like me labeling you as a 'well-mannered lady' ifswim?

and following the 'gregarious' use - ease up! It's beginning to feel like being stalked by a Catholic priest.

At 5mph, it sounds like a class 3 scooter that can be on the road.

yes, it's a 'protected' cycle only lane, passing in front of Man City's Etihad stadium. With a nice wide pavement running along side. Didn;t mind being told to f-off really.

Was it a cycle only lane?
