Men pushing in in queues and not social distancing.

Well, I'm not among those who simply "don't like people", so...

So it's unacceptable for me to pass comment, but not the rest of you

You can pass comment, and others may or may not comment on it

Its a relatively fast thread

Errol is as usual the voice of calm wisdom that I most likely am never going to grow up to emulate

I think you are confusing "calm wisdom" for "just ignore any comment which doesn't support the FWR consensus"

I think this thread confirms that if one has a personal bias one will be looking for confirmation of it.

Several posters here clearly think men are selfish, incompetent idiots who are obsessed with and lie about the size of their penises and that women can do no wrong.

My experience is that I haven't found either sex behaving in the way complained of but that a small number of men have apologised for being in the way when they weren't.

I don't like people- it's not as if I've been giving anyone the benefit of the doubt so I'll have to assume the people I've encountered have been behaving.

So it's unacceptable for me to pass comment, but not the rest of you? Why not just ignore me?

I'm not sure if I'm enjoying the merailing or not.

Meanwhile, I've never heard of Matriarchy Chicken but I have seen the same behaviours described by OP and others.

Can someone please explain to me what I've done wrong?

Ok, you weren't calling anyone that!

Here's a notmyNigel for you - my DH pointed out that it was mostly men doing it before I did. When the lads came up behind us at the light and stood so close it was like we were all packed into a lift.

Unsure of the putting people off feminism status of this comment.

I wasn't calling anyone that

Engaging with merailers is perhaps verging towards stupid.

Though on a Saturday morning with no place to go, why not.

Sorry @BeetrootRocks, I reread your post and saw it wasn't me you were calling fucking stupid.

I just need "not my nigel" for a full house

Oh hang on ...

Completely irrelevant- as are the sneering NAMALT comments. The thread was started by Helena giving her account of personal experience. If Helena's personal experiences are valid so are other personal experiences.

I’ve definitely noticed an increase in the amount of men on the phone in the supermarket standing in front of items going ‘They have the blue and the red... no, light blue... which one??’ It’s incredibly annoying as they usually don’t seem to realise that they’re blocking the whole aisle. I suppose you could argue that maybe the woman on the other end is unreasonably specific on which items she wants, but it’s still possible to be aware of the world going on around you.

In terms of joggers though, I’ve found that women are WAY worse! Men seem to generally just run in the road no matter what, making distancing easy. Women (I don’t know if they’re mainly new ones who’d usually go to the gym) are determined to stay on the path no matter what, even when you’re on the inside and literally are trapped with nowhere to go. Walkers too... I’ve spoken to a few friends/family and it’s a common theme that women out and about seem to be unable to give and take when it comes to distancing at the moment. No idea why!

He's not a crazed feminazi.

Maybe citing a male view will carry more weight

Once again, it wasn't me who brought up NAMALT, I was just trying to understand a posters reaction to it.

In my experience it has been mainly men and once I pointed it out to DH he started noticing as well.

I'll say it again, in my experience this isn't a sex issue, it's an issue that some people are just selfish, ignorant and oblivious to others. Last time I went to the supermarket everyone seemed to be trying their best to get their shopping and leave. I was lucky enough to go one evening when it was very quite and I didn't experience any pushing in or entitled attitude from anyone.

Not you, Rufus, your random interjections are one of the best parts of FWR

You haven't expressed any opinions about the actual topic so I can't say what I thing of them, for a start.

WTF

I haven't called anyone fucking stupid on this thread.

An example might be, I think people who believe everything trump says is fact, are.. well fucking stupid isn't a phrase I use much at all tbh. Doesn't feel natural to type it.

I don't think you understand what I said. At no point have I said that to anyone on the thread.

You asked for comments about that, I've commented, now you have decided I've said something I haven't???

It's ironic how any talk of things men do, one example of one man brings about cries of NAMALT and accusations of man hating.

Yet one feminist can apparently turn someone off all feminism altogether?

So you are saying All feminists are like that..

Erm..

Personally I think if a person wants to learn they will. Most if the time they have no intention they just want an.excuse to run back to fa e book or reddit or wherever and condemn all feminists

Well they never seem to have a problem using it taking what they would never have had if these pesky feminist women hadn't kicked up a fuss decades ago.

Gets old. Seen it all before.

Not you, Rufus, your random interjections are one of the best parts of FWR.

If we could at some point get back to the topic of the thread that would be grand.
