What little acts of rebellion or activism do you do?

[Steelworks]

I’m not talking about going on marches, but minor things, that you know about.

Mine is I won’t play Michael Jackson songs, after all the alleged behaviour, which certainly wouldn’t be accepted by today’s standards.

The second is I won’t buy McCain products, after they put out an advert for Smileys, which referred to ‘knocker’s’ in them. I thought that language had died out in the seventies.

I've got several relatives who had cancer picked up by screening, my mum has breast cancer and she survived because they caught it early. I would prefer more screening!!

We used to stay at holiday cottages where the owner is very eco minded and every cottage is supplied with Ecover. Washing up liquid, cleaning products, everything. It makes my hands sting, no idea what's in it but I can't use it. Now maybe I understand why

He was found not guilty in court.

@NovaF call me what you want, I take golf course safety very seriously and so do all golfers I have come across. If you find that entitled and dull that's your business, I call it responsible.
It sounds like a very risky place to play and a dangerous place to walk. I wouldn't be there with a toddler, and if I was I would be moving promptly along paths that crossed the course, for safety and respect.

I live in an area of very wealthy and not so wealthy. Lots of wealthy people have "normal" cars, nothing flash... and a lot of the less well off people have expensive cars they bought on credit. The young men with souped up cars aren't wealthy either.

I do the animal thing. I did it when referring to a bird and my husband said how do you know it's female, he then added I am not trying to be funny I genuinely am interested. Well in the same way you "know" that everything is male my love.

Patriarchy chicken although I live in a nice area and I honestly find it's less necessary than when I go back to the town of my birth which is a bit rough, men are genuinely confused what to do. I also just sit on mens legs if they spread into my seat, just pretend I haven't seen them.

Its well documented he had vitiligo 🙃 many children have said he was protecting them from the predators in Hollywood he had an abysmal childhood and yes that left him mentally unwell but he wanted to keep children safe and protect them from abuse .those parents wanted an easy payday why on earth would you allow a child to continue going somewhere they were being abused and you knew why wait so many years 🤔

I was sharing a flat with a deranged woman who was as a stroppy as a badly raised teenager. She often went traveling leaving me in charge of her cats without even asking me if I would be happy to feed them or clean the overflowing trays, the bathroom was covered with a film of dust of the sand of the trays.

I have never mentioned it but… I often used her toothbrush to clean the bathroom.

At some point we had a proper fall out, I knew she would be waiting for another shouting match or to tell me she wanted me out but at the same time I knew she wouldn’t reimburse any money I had paid when I paid the month in advance and thought she wouldn’t be able to relax if she didn’t know when I was going to show so… went back to the flat on the same day, took all my stuff, locked the bedroom door behind me and left. I posted the keys to her at the end of the month.

Fuelled by Guinness We really didnt care. Irish politics/politicians are about as genuine and lovable as their British counterparts . Also for every election and referendum it means that 1000s of signs bigger than an estate agents for sale sign appear overnight. The whole thread was just getting a bit preachy, so I thought dome good old middle aged misbehaviour might entertain.

I refuse to click on obvious click bait links. If it's about something that piques my interest, I can usually figure out what to google and look it up on another website.

Yes, it's petty and pointless but feels better than clicking on all this shite.

Even if he didn't have vitiligo, maybe you should consider what the world must have been like for black men if they would pay to change the colour of their skin given the chance?

old Landrovers are money pits. You need to be rich to have one.

Proving my point above.

Anyone who has a modicum of curiosity about the veracity of the Michael Jackson allegations can discover more, and maybe have the maturity to just listen to a different viewpoint , instead of hanging on to what they 'know'.

This recent video from a true crime investigative YouTuber is illuminating and she went to a great deal of work,bi found it fascinating:

I refuse to use a really popular chain of fish and chip shops in my area. I applied for a job there at 13, did the interview and got it. I was so excited, I ironed my uniform myself and spent my months of saved pocket money on some decent shoes.

Only for the manager to call my mum the day of my first shift and say that actually, there wasn’t a job, I had been offered it by mistake and the person doing the interviewing didn’t have the authority to hire people. This was about ten days after the interview.

I was heartbroken. I can still remember how gutted I was and how much I cried. Still won’t go in there now.

I do the 'assuming' that everything's female.

Apart from the obvious like blackbirds.

One of many depressing things I've heard over the years was a little boy ask his mum what an optician was, and she said it was a man who looked after people's eyes. I lost a little bit of hope then as I'd thought younger people were more switched on until that point.

Haven't spent a penny in Argos since trying to return a faulty kettle. A transgender employee treated me to a lecture on all the ingenious ways that customers try and defraud Argos by returning used goods - when I argued back that the kettle was faulty he (M) said "am I meant to give you a refund because of the way you look?" - I looked like the white middle aged woman that I am, and presumably was trying to use that privilege to get a refund 🙄. I did get my refund in the end but haven't spent a penny with Argos since - and I had spent thousands with them before that.

Refuse to watch Carol Vorderman on TV because she did adverts for loans with sky high interest rates - being a mathematician she should have known better.

Neither do I watch or listen to anything that Joanna Page from Gavin & Stacey is in as she has done betting adverts.

Won't watch anything that Meryl Streep is in either - for her support of Roman Polanski.

Also refuse to shop in Lush or any bookshop that refuses to stock J. K. Rowling or Robert Galbraith novels.

Speaking of JK - also refuse to watch anything that any of the TWAW brats, who made a fortune from starring in her films, are in.

Honestly thought not shopping with Lush was my only act of rebellion until I thought about it 😁

Depending on the age of the child that’s surely a normal thing to say?!

Bless. What is an expensive car to you?

With your bum on their legs, or draping a leg over his?

This thread is fucking batshit

Is this to all of us? I am 54. Sadly at 10 I didn't know what misogony was.

I think everyone on this thread needs to Google activism and also actually start giving a shit about the world and the people in it

That's not rebellian that's standing up for your beliefs

ha ha yes, fun though. harmless.. what car do you drive Dodo? how much is it worth?

These mugs, I like to use them in meetings. They always get comments these
