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?

anyone tried greens creme caramel mix in a packet... surprisingly nice, even the kids eat it

And yet @Blamonge, you had most of the usual posters here on this board waiting for you to come back last night and discuss exactly what you had in mind.

It was an opportunity, not to validate your beliefs, but to open heartedly discuss the very issues you posted. So now that you are here, if your intention is to discuss then do so....

If your intention is to rebuke women, which was the tone of each of your posts.... then I guess you have not achieved your goal.

Not all Bubble tea is made with milk Bovary. It's like having a cold fruit tea. Personally I like the idea of iced tea made with booze. Although a proper brew with milk will forever be my favourite Smile

I miss jelly. I’m vegetarian and the vegetarian jellies you can buy just aren’t as good. What is frustrating is that the jelly you get in pots or in premade trifle is usually vegetarian but you can’t buy nice vegetarian jelly to make at home.

favourite milk puddings

Mostly least favourite, directly inspired by the OPs name.

We're using local suppliers rather than supermarkets which means no yogurt (the welcome successor to the milky monstrosities of some of our childhoods) . But lots of eggs and milk so I'm going to make another batch of baked egg custard in a moment. 3 beaten eggs, 450 ml hot milk, vanilla, leaving out the sugar, strain into ramekins or teacups, top with nutmeg, bake in a bain marie at ~160 for 30-35 minutes.

Proper stuff, pale and delicate, not slimy.

@ALittleBitofVitriol Tapioca Envy not envy.

@Blamonge I'm under 35! Halo Women are oppressed by a patriarchal society and gendered stereotypes.
Only women can be Feminists, men can be allies but not feminists. Hope that helps Grin

@startrek90 my baby loves WBH. Obviously your baby is telling you that she or he does too. I hope it's delicious.

As most of you have suggested I will do one. Feminism is dead thanks to stupidity and hostility in this post

I think you’ll find most of us suggested favourite milk puddings. The only stupidity on this post comes from you. Feminism is far from dead. Feminists will fight to the bitter end to defend the rights of women for safe spaces, equality and the right to express valid opinions based on scientific facts without someone with gender dysphoria crying ‘woe is me’ and claiming we are being ‘transphobic’. Which we have already ascertained by definition means ‘fear of trans’. Feminists are not frightened of trans people. We will not run away and hide from them. We will not be bullied into submission.

Men are feminists now and by the way, you're doing it wrong.

😄

PertEllaTitsahoy · 09/04/2020 08:10

Dances they couldnt spell either

PertEllaTitsahoy · 09/04/2020 08:09

I eat a low carb diet so my go to dessert at the moment is sugar free jelly made with 1 part hot water and 1 part double cream. It's really nice, like a pannacotta.

I like lime jelly with added lemon zest for a bit of zing.

Danceswithwarthogs · 09/04/2020 08:09

I wonder if this is the same person the other day who kept calling people pet...

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 08:08

OMG. From looking back at this thread, I see bubble tea contains milk! And the bubbles are made from semolina? Confused

Danceswithwarthogs · 09/04/2020 08:07

The image I get from the bubble tea stuff is frogspawn

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 08:06

Assuming all feminists are women is also wrong

Some men call themselves feminists. They're often characterised by telling women they're doing feminism wrong.Hmm

Some men are feminist allies. Blokes who are supportive but don't take over and hector.

Awesome.Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out.

I am going to have that weetabix banana thing. Sounds delicious. I am 20 weeks pregnant with the worst kind of sickness I have ever had and that is actually the first thing I have wanted to eat in months. Thanks Lang x

BringbackLang · 09/04/2020 08:04

You naughty women. How dare you have opinions and not centre men in them. Off to the gulag the lot of you!

On a side note I really like passion fruit bubble tea and used to love the pink milk jelly my mum used to make. Lovely with a bit of squirty cream on top Grin

BovaryX · 09/04/2020 08:02

Are you just thrashing around, desperately searching for things to find offensive? How very exhausting.....

Datun · 09/04/2020 08:01

Is it me, or is the frequency of posters hopping mad that women can't be arsed with their self indulgent wankery, increasing?

Datun · 09/04/2020 07:58

Eh? I thought all feminists were hypocrites and bullies?

And, er, old.

Blamonge · 09/04/2020 07:56

May not be here to validate, but you have done so. So thank you. Assuming all feminists are women is also wrong. Please continue to be ignorant :)

So great to start the morning with a genuine laugh. Thanks wims. Grin

Love blancmange. I used to make chocolate blancmange for my family as a treat. Just milk, cornflour, sugar and lots of cocoa.

At school we used to get big serving dishes full of cubes of pink blancmange and jelly. When I was about 14 a girl was being very nasty indeed to me across the narrow table. I grabbed a handful of cubes under the table and shoved it down the front of her school knickers. I will always remember the dawn of realisation in her face.
