Reading some of this feminist crap, I just wonder just what is the problem. Yes, i'm a woman. I like being a woman. I'm a SAHM. Yes, I dress dd in pink, she has a barbie. Ds, has an action man. Does this make me a bad person? seriously? Btw, not a troll.

Does DD have a Ken doll Einstein?

Actually the action man things makes me think that the OP is a troll. They aren't a current toy.

C'mon Einstein, what's keeping you?

Surely as a woman you can multitask and reply as well as doing whatever else you're doing?

What a silly post. Maybe not a troll, but perhaps a little older than you, maybe. Jeez, kids today, eh. NEXT.

It's just like being asked for ID at the off licence

I don't have a willy so could also be an action man.

Valpollicella · 14/04/2011 23:29

I am very confused as to how I should be a 'woman'

I'd like your pointers please.

Don't need a PowerPoint presentation or anything, a bullet point list would be just super

Gosh, I really would never of guessed.

cornsilkily · 14/04/2011 23:32

so you're using the example of your 33 year old son having an action man to prove your point?
Blimey that makes my mum a SAHM then as she has adult children as well. I'll have to tell her - she'll be thrilled.

Valpollicella · 14/04/2011 23:32

Guessed what?

cornsilkily · 14/04/2011 23:32

Val it's a long distant memory for me sadly.

Women are already women, and men are already men. And we're all individuals. Some of us happen to fit gender stereotypes of what other people deem masculine or feminine, and some of us don't.

HHLimbo · 14/04/2011 23:33

I agree with the OP, and whats more, cats should be CATS! None of this half cat-half horse nonsense!

And fish!! Fish and dogs - NO! Fish should be fish, and dogs should be dogs.

Spiders however can be what they like, I give them free will. As long as they stay out of my house.

It was quite a pleasant experience Corny. Off liscence guy was vary apologetic.

I was Grin and 'No it's ok, you're doing your job!'

Valpollicella · 14/04/2011 23:34

What about worms?

Or trolls?
