Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

They know who I mean

OK I found out about sealioning, that is a very bitchy of you all

Wowser

Massive sweeping generalisation right there

I don't spend my life constantly subconsciously aware of potential predators

What am i missing

I thought subconscious meant that you didn’t know you were doing it

I don’t think I consciously look for predators

I quoted another poster. I don't think the quote actually makes sense

Actually, looking back, I can see it does look that way. I just wanted to understand certain things that were being said. I'm going to sign off now. You'll be glad to hear.

watching the somewhat surprising development of this thread I hate to say you are totally sealioning.

Justhadathought, I've certainly noticed that there are some men and women who seem to derive an almost disconcerting amount of happiness from their submission to their partner but that could equally be that they're simply enjoying not having to plan. Certainly, if they're both happy with their relationship, I see no reason to question its validity.

@Femail

That’s good that your supervisor stepped in.

I hope this crisis makes people appreciate retail staff more.

Oh sorry, I'm back merailing.

I couldn't care less what you call me. I know I've learnt today never to comment on a feminism thread unless I agree wholeheartedly with certain posters. It's been a real eye opener to know that some women can display some of the traits that they dislike in men. If some of you enjoy belittling others and being condescending then crack on.

The other term people use to describe the behavior you are exhibiting in this thread, Comicshadows, is merailing. Perhaps you prefer that explanation,

Good Lord shock, I've spent most of my life single but can still recognise that a couple might find each other's company comforting, even if there's no immediate communication, especially during this difficult time

Yes, there are many men who like the cosiness of coupledom...and who are happy to submit to their partners wishes, in certain respects.
Isn't there a saying ( amongst 'sensible' men) that a "happy wife makes for a happy life". I see lots of women who are firmly in control when it comes to all things domestic, and beyond...... and I also see lots of women who are subservient to their male partners...and in arenas of the sort that I know I could not personally tolerate.

You really do have a problem with women departing from the approved concensus don't you IONA?

You pre-emptively straw manned an insult which no one came anywhere near making. Now it's "sea lioning"

Why don't you just tell anyone who has a different opinion to shut the fuck up? It would be more honest.

Thanks so much for that.

Oh sorry, I guess I must be sealioning again....

Oh give it a rest. Think what you like about me. I'm neither sealioning or a troll. Move on.

You asked for an explanation. You got one.

Men are the worst from my experience working in a supermarket and they are often the abusive ones
Last week one was moaning about only being able to buy just 3 tomatoes and could of brought a pack but wanted loose ones. Then on the same day a man was moaning very rudely at my colleague so I stepped in and told him not to be so dam rude were here risking our health and your moaning about meat. He said hes not being rude so my supervisor came over and took him away

Why trail around behind her, performing no useful purpose when he could sit in the car or stay at home and leave space for others’ safety.

It all makes sense when you realize how controlling many men are. Many of the men are there to supervise, and if necessary correct, the woman and to pay at check out because she has no access to money.

Good Lord , I've spent most of my life single but can still recognise that a couple might find each other's company comforting, even if there's no immediate communication, especially during this difficult time.

12th rule of misogyny: Women's ability to recognize male behavior patterns is misandry

That’s an excellent point @TheBewildernessisWeetabix.

There seems to be a lot of sea lions about this weather. They must be bored “ working from home”.

Justhadathought is one of the most thoughtful regular posters. She is not denying any one's experience or observational skills.

No, you are denying my observational skills. Of which you know nothing and I know everything

No, I'm not....what we observe and pick up on often has much to do with our own personal experience and expectation.nobody is denying your experience.

I never take a man shopping. Why the heck would I want to do that? I like being in control of my own experience, and I don't tend to choose men who like to control mine. That's my experience. It's different to yours.

Oh give it a rest. Think what you like about me. I'm neither sealioning or a troll. Move on.

Comicshadows, the thing you are doing is called sealioning and it is a form of trolling.
So, if you are not here to troll you need to stop belaboring the questioning of the right of people to express their opinion about the opinions of others when they are effing stupid.
