The other day I was in a pub and for the toilet door signs there was cartoons drawn on which vaguely resembled a person on each door with thought bubbles. The male toilet the thought bubble said football and the female toilet said shopping.
I came back tommy table and said "have you seen the doors it's awful, I think about things other than shooing, in fact I hate shopping". My male friend said abruptly and annoyed "I don't like football but I wouldn't get upset about it" then my female friend sniggered. My DP said oh it's only a joke.
But I felt like I was told to shut up as it didn't affect the male therefore you female mustn't be upset by it or even make it an issue.
I think I get so downtrodden by friends surrounding my thoughts on feminism.
Am I being hypersensitive to equality? Thoughts please?
