Explained in this link. Basically, he bullied and shut down a female caller who said she'd be frightened to share a changing room with men. He didn't just take an opposing view - he ridiculed her.

Yet another liberal bro reveals himself as a misogynist. And a stupid one. Even if he doesn't care about women in general, he has 2 pre-teen daughters. Will he really want them changing and showering with men?

Im rubbish

I ignore or give the benefit of the doubt for ages, sometimes thinking 'i dont like you but i could be mistaken. then i post something quite innocuous but possibly sharper than i would usually be on here

Then i feel guilty and say something conciliatory in case ive made a mistake

And in real life i wouldn't hesitate to say something sharp and I rarely back down...on here im a wuss

I’m sure I recognise your style of writing. And this is very reminiscent of a derailed thread a while back.

Have you name changed?

cuirderussie · 16/11/2017 05:29

Erin Pizzey's dog. Well that's just knocked my news stories this month of child marriage and lack of abortion provision which affects tens of millions of girls and women into a cocked hat.

I’ve been coming back to the thread every now and then for a while now, wondering if there was some new policy I didn’t know about that was making everyone pretend to buy that Ruth was a) a woman and b) genuine, despite him giving himself away more or less from the start. Glad it turns out not to be compulsory after all...

If MRAs actually gave a shit about men they should be out campaigning to bring about tougher health and safety regulation at work. Of course they are not interested in that because they don't give a shit about men.

I use bot as the now accepted term of someone spreading misinformation

That used to be a troll. Although troll now seems to mean "somebody posting something I don't agree with/being mean".

Makes me feel like an internet fogey.

*Sorry that was rude of me. Of course you're not Paul. Just a wannabe.

ShoesHaveSouls · 15/11/2017 23:57

Keep going Ruth - it's fun. Its my bedtime now, but I'll see your MRA arse in the morning.

Are you in the UK? Most we have here are US based bots (Miffler, I use bot as the now accepted term of someone spreading misinformation - as Ruth has gloriously proved). Ruth - Now you've admitted it (not that you needed to). Shall I call you Paul...? Grin

Miffer · 15/11/2017 23:56

Ok, going along with the argument that I'm an MRA, why might that be? I mean feminists are such a lovely bunch, right?

That is the problem with MRA all over. It sees itself as opposed to feminism. I mean what the fuck? I thought it was about mens rights?

I know I shouldn't feed it but I really don't want to go to bed.

Miffer · 15/11/2017 23:54

I suppose its how you define danger. I did consider of rewording it to be clearer but I couldn't be arsed as the point remains. As far as I am aware it's not a case of accepting anything more of a statistical fact. I am not invested enough in this to actually look up the stats and am happy to be proved wrong.

ShoesHaveSouls · 15/11/2017 23:53

Ah Ruth so you are Grin - we all knew that.

Miffer, I'm a mother of sons. One is 15, the other is 13.

I don't accept that.

Sure you have. You're an MRA. Of course you've seen that - got it straight off Paul "women ask to be raped" Elam, dintcha?

UnbridledRuth · 15/11/2017 23:48

Unless this is what MRAs do....help women?

Miffer · 15/11/2017 23:48

Ruth is not a bot. A bot is automated. I can thing of many things to call Ruth but a bot is not one.

If we imagine a world were Ruth was genuine for a moment... I have thought all the same things. As a mother of sons I have questioned my beliefs that women as a class are oppressed by men as a class. Especially when my oldest turned 15 and suddenly entered the most dangerous demographic to be in (a 15-34 year old male iirc). Then I realised that it was patriarchy that was putting him there, just like those child soldiers. Of course I like a good dose of Marxism along with my Feminism but I'll leave that for now.

Yeah.

It's because she joined the MRA's. Does that help at all - bearing in mind you've read their websites?

The other side of the coin being - a load of bullshit. Yes. Well done.

Anyway - you've proved yourself - so thank you for that. You read and repeat lies on MRA websites.

OFGS - why post it then? Just to then say 'oh sorry, no that part of my post is not true" ??

Why should we take anything you say seriously then?

Either you're a personal friend of Erin Pizzey - or you've been taking bullshit posted on MRA websites seriously - while coyly simpering "I'm not an MRA but..." Sod off with that.

UnbridledRuth · 15/11/2017 23:18

Whatever!

I've already acknowledged that the dog part was a bit unfounded and that the main thrust of my point is that she is an individual who has done a lot for women but has been victimised because she doesn't fit the modern feminist agenda, like many feminists of yesterday. But you clearly chose to ignore that.
