"Men are getting a 'raw deal' despite tough equality legislation, Dominic Raab MP writes as he calls for an end to 'feminist bigotry'."

An article by the latest addition to the Conservative cabinet:

Don’t call people ladies. It makes everyone think instantly you’re a gobshite. I mean, you are, but no point advertising the fact, eh?

Just this Grin

Men have run the world for a sod of a long time. If they're having it crap then they know who to blame.

I voted Conservative in the local elections! They can sit on it now. And that is definitely an MP losing a seat. Small majority.

Pratchet · 10/07/2018 19:52

Is that a parody? That is unfucking-believable.

AngryAttackKittens · 10/07/2018 19:38

So the Tories are recruiting potential MPs via MRA sites now?

Have you watched Hannah Gadsby's 'Nanette' ( Netflix special)? Your post chimes with it.

Oh you're a slick one, FullyNotFemale, you sure got us but good yes you did. Smooth.

Men kill men so much that 75% of murder victims are men. Men, stop being violent.

Men are so internally fucked in the head they kill themselves 75% of the suicides (often taking a bunch of innocent people with them when they do). Men, stop being so violent to yourselves and others.

Men are weak, reality-avoiding addicts making up 80% of substance abusers. Men, stop being so violent to yourselves.

Men are violent shits who commit most crime therefore 90% of violent criminals incarcerated are men. Men, stop being so violent.

Men can sleep in parks without getting raped and murdered, making 95% of rough sleepers men because men don't attack homeless men the way they attack homeless women. Men, stop raping homeless women so they can sleep in parks too.

Men are arrogant and think they know everything so 95% of workplace fatalities are men who thought they were more competent they they turned out to be. Men, find your life-saving humility.

MIdgebabe · 10/07/2018 18:02

SO men are destructive to themselves as well as to others.
They are also dominate in positions of power

They have had several thousand years of not listening to women and they still haven't fixed their problems

So perhaps they should change their approach, listen to women, put more women in power and then the changes that benefit women , which are about stopping male aggression, would also benefit men directly

FullyFledgedFemale · 10/07/2018 17:50

Of course he is 100% wrong without any need for further inquiry. Clearly equality means men are:

75% of murder victims
75% of suicides
80% of substance abusers
90% of the incarcerated
95% of rough sleepers
95% of workplace fatalities
Destined to die 6 years earlier on average.

Good work ladies. You really are demonstrating women's capacity to think objectively and make fact-based assessments. Obviously you all love and respect the men in your lives including your significant others and sons.

Raab C Brexit... Lang I think I may be in love with Mr Lang!

But yes, Raab is a complete turd. (Whether polished or unpolished.)

MIdgebabe · 09/07/2018 17:50

Today I am thinking about compromise ( possibly a reaction to the brexit strops)

I hear those cries of poor hard done by men not who do no wrong and yet still get treated with suspicion or worse, discrimination.

I therefore promise that I will stop being a feminist....on the day that it is shown that the rates of violence shown by people with medically male bodies is the same as the rates of violence shown by people with medically female bodies.

pathetic phallusy

Grin

Another one to steal!

Bowlofbabelfish · 09/07/2018 17:45

A bonfire of deregulation... oh just wait for brexit. All those pesky laws that protect women, minorities... they will all go

Procrastinator1 · 09/07/2018 17:39

Raab wants a bonfire of regulation. He's one of the authors of the "Britannia Unchained" bollocks.

nauticant · 09/07/2018 17:36

All I'm seeing in politics at the moment is pathetic phallusy.

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 09/07/2018 17:33

He continued: “I can’t really believe this needs saying, to be honest, but I think it’s so discriminatory and sexist to say that we should only be focusing on violence against women

Sure, OK then, lets re-focus on the people committing the violence.. I dare you.

SlothSlothSloth · 09/07/2018 17:28

Usually with men who spout this kind of thing I just console myself with the thought that they’re a dying breed, but Dom is actually pretty young...

R0wantrees · 09/07/2018 17:20

Grin Mr LangCleg!

Bowlofbabelfish · 09/07/2018 17:19

Raab C Brexit

Grin howling with laughter here.

R0wantrees · 09/07/2018 17:18

There is a literary device called 'pathetic fallacy' which can mean 'using the weather to represent the mood of the character in the text, the typical examples being cloudy and stormy weather representing depressed or anxious states, or a beautiful and sunny day representing a hopeful start.'

It seems the heatwave is breaking over London & much of the UK with rain forecast today!

“Northerly winds will be coming in and beginning to freshen things up,” Becky Mitchell, meteorologist with the Met Office, told The Independent'

LangCleg · 09/07/2018 17:09

It''s Raab C Brexit!

(DH just said that: I can't take credit.)

womanformallyknownaswoman · 09/07/2018 17:09

Let's pretend women aren't getting killed by men. Because my brain can't hold 2 thoughts at once - that the official police stats clearly show male violence is killing and maiming women and children in large numbers but I think women must be exaggerating or provoking men and I am right. I mean how else would the police stats get so skewed?

I think women should spend all of their time at home thinking of ways to moderate their behaviour to stop themselves being killing. /s
