Feminist Pub 14: The Bluestocking, a place for feminist chat and feminists to chat

987 replies

Welcome!

This is the 14th incarnation of the Pub and is meant as a place to drop by with random thoughts and meandering chats, on feminist or other related themes. Anything you want to mull over but not necessarily start a thread about. Alternatively, flop onto the chaise lounges with some

We have a pub goat, a feminist cannon for firing at crazy sexists and a variety of drinks and snacks. And stools/bar counters at female friendly heights. And a crèche in the back somewhere

Will link the last pub in the next post!

What the actual fuck?

FrauHelgaMissMarpleandaChuckle · 02/12/2014 20:20

Have any of you seen the thread about the wee girl and the disco and the short skirts not being seemly?

I am so angry I can't post. I would get deleted.

Happy birthday Puffins

Fibonacci I also don't have children. I've not been kicked off here yet.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 02/12/2014 19:54

December birthdays do indeed rock!

Thanks all, a virtual G&T sounds lovely!

The list of things banned from porn, and the answer that it has removed things women find pleasurable from porn is a leetle weird... I know some women do enjoy some of those things, but really????

Happy Birthday Puffins! and then for you

Happy Birthday Puffins!

Ooo! A G&T! What a fabulous idea!

yonic Are the Christmas lectures televised? (Couldn't find out from website ... Has anyone else noticed the trend of websites to be prettier and less informative? )

Lurcio I'm a bit surprised myself how much I've taken to the music. Maybe there's something in this Wagner operas business after all!

Now to prevent another skirmish. "He let me do this!" "No I didn't" "Yes you did" "Yeah but I've changed my mind" "Waaaahhhh!"

AnnieLobeseder · 02/12/2014 19:00

This bit particularly puzzled me: "and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure." Huh? None of the activities listed seemed to be ones that tend to get women's rocks off.

AnnieLobeseder · 02/12/2014 18:56

Happy birthday Puffins!

Yonic - an acquaintance of mine (who is a LGBT campaigner and very active in politics) was bleating about that on FB. Normally he speaks sense and our opinions broadly align, but in this case it was all "wah wah wah I don't care how badly women are treated in porn I don't want the government regulating it". Disappointing.

BrightestAndBest · 02/12/2014 18:36

Can I scream (and then have a G&T) please? DB just mansplained something to do with my job to me. Aaaaaaarrrgh

I dunno, but I don't want their job!

Here's a better job - Danielle George doing the Xmas lectures this year...

December birthdays are the best

They sure are! happy birthday Puffins

Yonic the subject of that article is madness. Female ejaculation? Why?! And facesitting but not choking someone with a penis. Who makes these decisions?

SconeRhymesWithGone · 02/12/2014 14:52

for Puffins. December birthdays are the best.

Happy birthday Puffins! Sorry that your work involves wanking Santas - are you in Artificial Insemination?

Interesting article here, though I didn't like the tone of the commentators much:

Happy birthday, Puffins.

N'owt wrong with being a Wagner bore, LordCopper. Don't get much time to listen myself, but did catch Tristan and Isolde on the proms in the summer, and had a lovely wallow in that.

DemistletoeAndWine · 02/12/2014 14:04

Happy birthday Puffins!

UptoapointLordCopper · 02/12/2014 13:41

Puffins Happy birthday!

Fibonacci Not worth being friends with people like that. Hang out here!

FibonacciSeries · 02/12/2014 13:35

Happy birthday, Puffins!

I've just unfriended someone on FB for shaming me for not being a mother (please don't kick me out of MN now!)

PuffinsAreFictitious · 02/12/2014 13:30

< goes back to bloody work with it's wanking Santas>

UptoapointLordCopper · 02/12/2014 13:16

Sorry to be a Wagner bore .

Quite Ebear. But no one would say they don't value diversity. I wish these people have the courage of their conviction. They are cowards.

EBearhug · 02/12/2014 13:14

Just because people say they value diversity does not mean they do.

UptoapointLordCopper · 02/12/2014 13:07

Finished! That was quite good. But the goddesses looked particularly unimpressed with the proceeding - more of a here-we-go-again eye-rolling look. I like to think that at the end Fricka would have told Wotan that if he dared to trade her sister off for another poxy palace she would whack him over the head with that lethal-looking stick. Though she probably didn't sing that ...

UptoapointLordCopper · 02/12/2014 12:32

Forgot you can actually pause youtube. Must go and have lunch.
