A few questions for feminists

ConservativeV8 · 2020-03-19T18:58:10+00:00

1. Why is feminism so small in number? They get plenty of airtime but it isn't catching on. Women know about it so why no support? 2. Feminists want equality of opportunity and equality of outcome but how can you have both when it's impossible? You want to give women choice, but then want exactly 50% of men and women in each industry. This can only be achieved by forcing women (and men) to do jobs they don't want to or choose to do. Explain? 3. Why do you think the earnings difference is due to gender when time and time again it has been shown it has nothing or very little to do with it. Why feminists not take into account the 40 or so factors which affect earnings, such as men are more likely to work longer hours, do more overtime, take less holidays, work more dangerous jobs, willing to relocate, willing to commute further, etc etc? Please discuss.

MrsDoylesTeaBags Seven fingers obviously. I can get more wife work done. Seven toes means that I can get away too quickly from the menz….

AnotherDingle · 19/03/2020 19:22

I’ve seen threads like this all over social media and forums today, so if any other men are confused - WFH means work from home not whinge from home.

isabellerossignol · 19/03/2020 19:22

Oh you're back.

OK, I'll answer your questions if you answer mine first. It's just one question, so should be easy.

Why do you dislike women so much?

He really should ask the girls in his office, they are all anti feminists who agree with everything he says. Muppet.

ConservativeVA · 19/03/2020 19:20

Its not whining guys, its me trying to understand why most women think your cause is wrong.

Please explain.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 19/03/2020 19:19

MrsDoylesTeaBags the toes, because I imagine it would make you be able to run extra fast and jump over roofs and that.

QuentinWinters · 19/03/2020 19:18

Omg worth it for the recipes

I haven't seen the "Discuss." troll for a while

RuffleCrow · 19/03/2020 19:18

The problem is you rest all your questions on demonstrably false premises.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 19/03/2020 19:16

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter back atcha! Endless name possibilities from Glinner-related shows.

I haven't actually looked in the health food shop yet, but they may have some rice flour or suchlike. I do have ground almonds somewhere at the bottom of my cupboard however.

Has this troll guy been here before under a different name then? How do we know there's only one sad basement-dwelling knobjockey trying and failing to get a rise out of us?

MoonBaby1 · 19/03/2020 19:16

This have genuinely added a small dose of normality to one feminists day. For that dear troll, thank you.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 19/03/2020 19:15

Would you rather have seven fingers on each hand or have seven toes on each foot?

Please discuss

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/03/2020 19:15

And it would keep him self-isolated in his mum's basement which is good for everyone.

I missed the Midnight Misogynist.

BeetrootRocks · 19/03/2020 19:13

Let us give the sad man a kicking pls

It will be good for our mental health in these difficult times

isabellerossignol · 19/03/2020 19:13

Imagine hating women so much that you seek out a forum on the far side of the world just to try to bait them. What a dickhead.

BeetrootRocks · 19/03/2020 19:11

Might cheer us all up a bit

He needs to have the piss taken out of him. Brit style.

(Previous post timings suggest poster in USA).

isabellerossignol · 19/03/2020 19:11

I kind of wanted to listen to him whine for a while longer

We've banned them now but if you're bored and want to just chat in this thread, shall we leave it up then?

dkl55 · 19/03/2020 19:10

Haha this is HILARIOUS. what a troll. Why has feminism not caught on? 97.25% of men hate feminists. Etc etc.
De the recipe - YES there's a brill nigella flourless choc brownie recipe somewhere. With ground almonds?

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 19/03/2020 19:09

Why hello there EoinMcLovesCakeJumper love your username

isabellerossignol · 19/03/2020 19:09

Does anyone have a good recipe for a flourless cake? None of the shops near me has any flour left and I'm in the mood for baking.

I made a great one recently with almonds and polenta but it was experimental and I forgot to write down the quantities!

miccymaccy · 19/03/2020 19:09

Didn't your mother hug you as a child?
