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.

No more than you Einstein.

At least HHLimbo is funny

wasps should be wasps. None of these monster wasps that keep hanging around the place.

Valpollicella · 14/04/2011 23:38

Bacteria should be bacteria.

None of these super ones that are resistant to all kinds of antibiotics

OP: Anything to say on gender dysphoria? Or intersexuality? I can wait while you go and look them up, of course.

I think the poodles not being poodles thing is a bit much. All these Koodles, coodles, rotoodles, labradoodles and so on.

HHLimbo · 14/04/2011 23:42

Yes, Banners! We must spread the word! Down with horse-cats and dressed up bacteria!

You might be a while SGB.

I'm still waiting for my Einstein Approved Women's Behaviour List.

And I asked so nicely...

'Spiders however can be what they like, I give them free will.'
I agree HHLimbo and anyone who has a problem with that will gert hairs kicked in their face. Typical spider behaviour that. Grin

Top tip - if you ever find an Action Man in a charity shop, check out his pants.

Old and valuable ones have blue pants and not the nudey ones.

And if you can then get your DH to eBay them for you (cos as women, y'know, you wouldn't be up to suc a task) you might make yourself a bit of pocket money to buy a new pinny or something with bows on

Valpollicella · 14/04/2011 23:56

(tip above is serious, despite the addendum of attempted humour)

[Hairy lesbian joins the thread, looks round in disbelief, gets the message that Flowerpot doesn't want to be like her, wanders off shaking her head, determined to find a thread about brown leather sofas and pebbly shit]

I'm curious to hear your thoughts about hermaphrodites

working9while5 · 15/04/2011 23:15

Jesus Christ.

Tea bitch.

I know it was seven pages ago but I have to just say: wow. Wow.

Olifin · 16/04/2011 00:24

I know working. Tea bitch really made me cringe.

colditz · 16/04/2011 00:34

I do not want to be caught by a charity shop worker, looking down Action Man's trousers, thank you so very much!!!

AnnieLobePassoverSeder · 16/04/2011 00:38

Have to say I'm astounded at the number of women who are very confused about feminism. It's a very simple concept...

Equality for women.

That is all.

It's not about being un-feminine or hating pink.
It's not about hating men.
It's not about wanting to be a man, or being more masculine.
It's about being a women, whatever kind of woman you like, and not being discriminated against because of it.
It's about the right to be able to choose to like pink, or hate pink, or have a career and get paid the same as everyone else, or stay at home, or bake cakes, or marry a man who bakes cakes, or wear high heels and make-up, or wear sensible shoes and trousers because you want to and not because of expectations, or even laws, being imposed on you.

How on earth can that ever be a bad thing?
