to think that by marrying and procreating feminists are potentially going against their feminist ideals

[hardhatdonned]

For you Eggy :o

I explain the miners strike to my chucks...while pinning Cath Kidson ribbons in their combs.

Actually I don't know what has worried me most...the idea that I can't be feminist and have kids, or that I can't keep chickens and be working class.

OP have you heard of the Patriarchy?
Women are not equal to men when they simply try and behave like men (go out to work for example) - that is women conforming to the male ideal.

If you are a feminist you value traditional women's roles (such as childcare) to be of the same importance as traditional male roles. And the ideal is for everyone (women and men) to have a choice.

Oh and to not use rape as a weapon of war/oppression but that's just a small point.

Are chickens posh, then?

are they ever! boden florals everywhere, if you let them

chickens have no eyebrows. is this because sexist society has caused them to wax?

ps, thanks for that lactose intolerant tip earlier, I used it on this thread and looked way smarter than I normally do...

God, I'm coming to terms with a lot tonight.

1. I may be killing my chucks with left over cheese toasties.
2. I am middle class.
3. I am not a feminist.

My world is in tatters...

No. It's because they don't have any hair anywhere. Not even eyelashes. Although, if you look really closely, they do have tiny feathers in an eyebrow-like place. Actually, if you look really closely, they look like scary-arse dinosaurs.

Oh, you won't kill them word. It just tends to give them the shits. Birds in general can't process milk, what with not being mammals and all. They prefer frogs and mice.

I think hardhat's thread has died a chicken-related death.

cockadoodledo.

I didn't know that!!!!!!
Mine are like feckin' dogs, pecking round for any left overs etc.

poppy there's more than one way to skin an anti feminist

Yep, mine too. Greedy feckers chickens. They are also fond of grapes, but the coop has to be hosed out the next day

Poppy, chickens go bok-ARK

I haven't read the whole thread sorry but isn't feminism about women have access to choices and opportunities? SO as long as they are chosing to marry and procreate and are not being forced into it then they are not going against their ideals.

xstich - yes, absolutely!!! That's about right IMO.

What is bok-ARK?

It's the noise a chicken makes

Oh my god.

Don't they go 'BWARK-bwark-bwark-bwark'?

Poppy! Don't reopen the debate!

Poppy stands corrected.

What a joke

That WC people can't keep chickens: why, Nan was as WC as they come 916 kids in small council house etc etc) and she kept laods (all nicked from what I am told)

For the MC tis just a phase. For the rest of us, is eggs for life

Posh people keep their chickens in Gypsy Caravans and decorate them with bunting

what, they decorate the chickens with bunting? tied from their comb to the top of their tail?

I heard a rumour that some chickkens are made to wear lipstick
