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 bought some treacle cornflake tart in my necessary grocery shopping yesterday, and OMG it's almost orgasmic.

What? What?!! You can buy this?!! Where? How?

TinselAngel please tell me, I need to know!!!

We have a few of those. They tend to get very cross when they say "well I think that biological differences naturally lead to sexed roles in society and feminism is wrong to say it's mostly socialization" or something similar and everyone else fails to jump in with enthusiastic agreement.

Why on earth would someone come on a feminist board and assert that female people are no longer oppressed?

I read it as the poster thought that women's place in society was a result of innate differences from men.

In which case, women's rights are completely pointless.

Then I switched off, obviously.

It kind of sounds like something an MRA would do. Weird that.

Oh now you're talking - my favourite drink. Try it with a touch of wasabi too.

Oooh

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

ShockThanks

Wouldn’t it be grand if female people were no longer oppressed anywhere in the world?

No FGM, no sex-selected abortion, no infanticide of female babies, no child marriage, women owning 50% of the world’s land, women owning 50% of the world’s wealth, women making up at least 50% of all national and local governments, no need for women to engage in prostitution or surrogacy...

Why on earth would someone come on a feminist board and assert that female people are no longer oppressed?

Women’s Rights are Human Rights.

Did they forget that? Or do they just not give a tiny single shit?

‘It has a wash of a kind of sugar syrup

And that is how fairies become trans sugar plum-fairies in the womb.’

Fallingirl. That’s the best😂😂

Personally I like the idea of iced tea made with booze

Ask and you shall receive (a recipe at least).

You can experiment with agar agar or add 1 ounce of carrageenan for each cup of liquid , boil the mixture for 10 minutes, and then strain out the carrageenan.

You can add cornstarch (cornflour) to high protein flour to create cake flour.
Using strong flour for brownies or biscuits (cookies) will be just fine.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 09/04/2020 21:22

Ah forgive me I clearly dreamed up the custard tarts!
All the places selling eggs at the backdoor near here need a 15 minute car trip (& had stopped selling the week before lockdown)

Happy to low/no egg for a while but the lack of flour & especially yeast is a bit more of a challenge...

Tartyflette · 09/04/2020 20:37

You can make a very fine bread and butter pudding with stale croissants or brioche, or that Panettone someone gave you last Christmas...

ErrolTheDragon · 09/04/2020 20:33

One of the many recipes using bread flour in that link caught my eye - Compost Cookies.

The other ingredients include chocolate chips, pretzels, ground coffee and potato chips (crisps, obv). Confused

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 09/04/2020 20:29

The idea of biscuits is formless and limitless

[nods sagely]

Isn't it the stale/soggy test? (I don't mean this as a metaphor, btw)

Google got me this...

Having failed to find any more proper flour, what can I do with strong flour that's not bread.

Needs to be on the high treat/low effort end of the scale. Blush

He has eaten the hot cross buns.

I shall send him out to buy more!

The science of biscuits is complicated. The idea of biscuits is formless and limitless. Are slices biscuits or are they cakes?

This might help with the softness issue: www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/09/04/345530660/the-science-behind-baking-your-ideal-chocolate-chip-cookie

Also BuzzShitbag I see what you did there. Grin

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 09/04/2020 19:22

FlamingoandJohn Yes they do, I got an early Easter treat which was M&S Fried Egg Whips, which where walnut whips but with a mini egg on top instead and caramel and fondant inside. They didnt' last very long.

I've seen so many new food creations here, what is a Bitch Tart and how vile is it?

TinselAngel · 09/04/2020 19:14

Tarts too.

DuLANGDuLANGDuLANG · 09/04/2020 19:14

I really, really want an egg custard tart now. Damn you, bitches Grin
