Sorry. Inspired by another thread. Grin

Challenging questions for feminists.

Do feminists believe slates or tiles are best for the roof?

Do feminists prefer fitted carpets or floorboards with rugs?

Do feminists believe gammon is best cooked in cherry cola or classic coke?

Do feminists believe potatoes should be mashed or roasted with roast chicken?

Do feminists believe that before they smash the patriarchy, they should focus on male victims of domestic violence or prostate cancer?

I could go on all night but you get the picture. Hmm

We don't have a dryer. I feel deprived. I never felt that before. Has my consciousness been raised?

It may need encouragement at this stage rather than congratulations. It is only at the first stage of it's transformation if it still physically manifests the mere.

ShumbTucker · 23/01/2015 14:00

I never thought of that Lightning, I will go home and congratulate it later. The resourceful little scamp.

My dog rubs its arse against the dryer vent grimble, make of that what you will. Shock

grimbletart · 23/01/2015 13:54

My dryer goes round and round and emits an awful lot of hot air…is that clue about its sex?

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:54

Or become a shattered mere.

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:53

perhaps it is also merely attempting to cross dimensional space, to become something more than a mere temporally-bound physical manifestation, to develop into a jump-into-as-many-times-as-you-like ideal.

"Well at least she is constantly wet which means it is at least it is living up to some of its gender ideals..."

Sentence structure fail there...I'm sure you get the gist.

ShumbTucker · 23/01/2015 13:46

My washer refuses to drain water properly. Its probably a woman, doing it wrong. Well at least she is constantly wet which means it is at least it is living up to some of its gender ideals...

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:37

Actually I meant to say out of my washing machine, which is working class and proud of it. I don't have any of your poxy middle class dryers. I declare class war! Take that .

[You know, I think I was supposed to be doing something today]

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 23/01/2015 13:36

[Grin] I am loving your work Buffy. And indeed, Shumb's ad (what in the name of actual fuck?) did in fact make my teeth grind uncontrollably, so maybe we're onto something here.

Feminist dentistry. Bite the patriarchy!

scallopsrgreat · 23/01/2015 13:32

Loving this thread Grin

I never knew celery was so despised before I came on MN. Mind you, I'll eat pretty much everything. Apart from baked beans. They are just food of the devil patriarchy. I'm pretty certain I could make a case that eradicating baked beans would eradicate male violence and end womens oppression.

ShumbTucker · 23/01/2015 13:29

Lightning Its a middle class tumble dryer, only interested in progressing its own privilege at the expense of working class tumble dryers, it spits out pound coins, boden and misandrist comments Wink

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:22

Perhaps it's a disembodied kitchen, hovering slightly out of sight. And therefore out of mind. After all you can never step into the same pub twice.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 23/01/2015 13:22

If we are in the kitchen, I'm going to show y'all how to cook okra.

xpost. Oh dear. A slight disagreement on where we are in the pub.

UptoapointLordCopper · 23/01/2015 13:17

We are always in the pub. It's a feminist thing.

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:16

Pub's kitchen, I think. In our place.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 23/01/2015 13:13

Are we in the pub?

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:12

great minds, grimble. Definitely great. Not the other thing.

LightningOnlyStrikesOnce · 23/01/2015 13:11

You get pound coins from your dryer? I only find the odd few cents in mine .

Hands up for a [feministcannon]! I want a go.

Incidentally where's our (presumably feminist) goat got to? Has he run off to protect his male kids? Or has she (did anyone ever think to check) gone on an empowerfulling round-the-world beer fuelled holiday current-state survey of international sisterhoods? Maybe she can rule on the most-acceptable type and presentation of celery upon return.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 23/01/2015 13:11

Okra must be cut up, dipped in cornmeal, and fried. This is the only way.

grimbletart · 23/01/2015 13:04

Whatever happened to the feminist goat? Hasn't anyone fed it? Is it an ex-goat? Sad

ShumbTucker · 23/01/2015 12:20

The conversation has clearly moved on but I would like to add my two pence worth. I like my condenser dryer as when clearing out the filter I find many, many pound coins and as a money grabbing female with magpie tendencies this pleases me as much as smashing the patriarchy and getting my laundry done

Do feminists believe that vented tumble driers or condensers are best?
LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 23/01/2015 12:09

It makes my teeth feel funny.

Anything which makes my teeth feel funny is usually a tool of the patriarchy.

But as we all know sistes-sisters, the plural of 'it makes Lonny's teeth feel funny' is not data - Dr Buffy would be hard-pressed to make that argument to HQ.
