A few questions for feminists

  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?
  1. 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?
  1. 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.

Thanks Clara 👋

  1. Clearly untrue.
  2. Eh? 50% in every job? Never heard that demanded myself. Where did you get that? If you think that's what feminism is then that explains why you think there are hardly any feminists.
  3. Men work more because women are pushed into doing all the wifework life shit that enables men to work lots not worrying about the kids, dinner, homework, birthdays much.

But you’re 5 hours early... what’s wrong? Are you self isolating?

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.

  1. Why have feminists launched Corona virus on the world? Don't you know it will hurt women too?

Not convinced the OP is here with the best intentions, so we're removing this now.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 19/03/2020 19:05

Ooh, this is going to go well. No coincidence that this new poster has popped up just after all the schools have closed.

BeetrootRocks · 19/03/2020 19:05

Again?

Hello you're earlier than usual.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 19/03/2020 19:05

You again 🙄 I take it you're in isolation as this is rather early in the evening for you.

ConservativeV8 · 19/03/2020 19:04

No answers. Earnings difference is a clear example. Feminists do not take into account the many factors which determines earnings difference, they only focus on one small factor - no wonder they don't get taken seriously.

Is it the weekend already?

isabellerossignol · 19/03/2020 19:03

Why are you using the word supposedly?

ConservativeV8 · 19/03/2020 19:02

9% of British women consider themselves feminists.

Why are women not supporting this ideology, which is supposedly for the betterment of women?
