Why is there such a large portion of the feminist movement so against trans culture. Trans people have been some of the biggest advocates for supporting allegedly oppressed groups. Why is it suddenly okay to for feminists (a formally oppressed group) to oppress trans people (currently oppressed group) why?

I’ve not heard of Amy’s @BovaryX. I will look them up. I’ve found veggie jelly to be rather joyless in the past

Sorry, flamingo I wasn't referring to jelly, dunno if they do that. But they do a nice veggie burger, discovered during lockdown....

And to think I paid for the full half-hour argument too. Pfftt.

No you didn't.

🤣

Yeah, I'm sure indignant outrage, followed by wild counter attack is the desired outcome.

Discussing the merits of milk puddings in the context of 1970 school dinners, simply isn't cutting the mustard, women. Try harder.

I have to say I am a little disappointed in the OP follow up.
Pretty limp. Not at all the usual fire and brimstone we've come to expect from our regular tellings-off.

And to think I paid for the full half-hour argument too. Pfftt.

Tinsel Or we haven't responded the 'correct'' way so they can't report us here or froth on Other Social Media about how MN has killed feminism. 😉.
So disappointing.
I'm going to try the sugar free lemon jelly made up with double cream.

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 09:16

Almost as if we're not actually the intended audience

Ha! Certainly seems so TinselAngel It's lockdown performative heretic baiting for screenshots....

TinselAngel · 09/04/2020 09:12

Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post

Well you said it OP.

There seems to be a current trend for an opening gambit of telling us we're all doing feminism wrong, followed by a flounce which bears no relation to anything in between.

Almost as if we're not actually the intended audience.

How does supporting the rights of girls to go to communal changing rooms and undress/be naked separate from male adults oppress the transgender community?

Is a good question. One that we will never have answered along with please define 'woman' without using the word 'woman' and (my personal favourite) why don't you just fuck off?

SentimentalKiller · 09/04/2020 09:00

I am 3 pages too late but we used to make jelly, let it part set then whisk in condensed milk, it would split and half be jelly and half a fluffy set thing
Does anyone know how it's made. I fancy some after this thread

Not round my way they're not. Much reduced bus service - bored illiterate TRAs are much more numerous.

Well given we get a bus about three times a week Floral Grin

I think the perfect lockdown drink is a Bloody Mary. Fresh lemon juice and a serious quantity of tabasco.....

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 08:44

I miss jelly. I’m vegetarian

Hey Flamingo so am I. I just discovered this brand called Amy's. Have you heard of them? They are quite good, a lockdown discovery....

Cuntysnark · 09/04/2020 08:43

I’m very much looking forward to making the chocolate jelly thing today. It’s my goal/challenge if the day. I make up sugar free jelly with very little hot water and a fuckton of Greek yogurt. Fat free or not. Bung it in the fridge and wait impatiently. FYI.

Gin iced tea!

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 08:40

Personally I like the idea of iced tea made with booze

Now we're talking!

if someone wants to be the limitless, formless void that is a woman
Spanx are very good for dealing with that formless void Wink

HorseRadishFemish · 09/04/2020 08:39

How do you start a rice pudding race?

Sago.

HeyDuggeewhatchadoin · 09/04/2020 08:34

Look, @FlamingoAndJohn if someone wants to be the limitless, formless void that is a woman, then who are we to say otherwise?

stillathing · 09/04/2020 08:30

flamingo

Perhaps depends on where you live, but the halal jelly from asda's world food aisle is nice and veggie. It's a sachet to make at home.

QuentinWinters · 09/04/2020 08:28

Love this thread. Very good. Although flashbacks to school dinners not really appreciated. We used to get spam fritters and these things called beanies which were deep fried mashed potato with a blob of baked beans in the middle. And semolina with raspberry jam that tasted like the worm medicine of the time.

It's a shame OP hasn't found it as informative as hoped Grin

Winesalot · 09/04/2020 08:27

DancelikeEmmaGoldman. Lemon Crisps are addictive!!!! But how can you say a dark mint Tim tam is without flavour, sweet I will give you ...

FlamingoAndJohn · 09/04/2020 08:26

Only women can be Feminists, men can be allies but not feminists.

But anyone is a woman if they say they are.

HeffalumpsCantDance · 09/04/2020 08:24

As a historian with an interest in cookery, can I point out that blancmange was originally a dish of chicken and almonds? Sometimes with rice added.

And tapioca pudding was known as frogspawn in 60s schools.

I’ve lost count of the number of times Feminism has been declared obsolete or dead by others, but we keep refusing to obey the command, however desperate the wishing or frenzied the attempts to crush us.
