" Thinking a Prime Minister has a shit sense of humour and that's all there is to this storm in a tea cup isn't evidence of hatred of females purely because they are female. And you wonder why people think you're overreacting? Wow!"
Er, did you actually read the rest of what I posted Lucky? Because if you did, and you'd read the rest of the thread, you'd know what I was getting at.
But thanks for your advice on us all being grateful that we get much bigger crumb portions than the tiny crumbs the women in Afghanistan get, so we should stop bothering to discuss this. Do you tell the women in Style and Beauty to stop whingeing about the fact that they can't get a nice summer outfit because if they lived in Afghanistan they'd have to wear burkhas? Or is it only when women point out something not good enough from a feminist angle, that you feel the need to tell them they shouldn't be discussing whatever it is they are discussing because there's something bigger and more important that they ought to be discussing?
Someone helpfully posted the link to the feminism 101's why are you discussing x when you should be discussing y page. You might want to take a quick look at it, you'll recognise yourself. And if you want to discuss your friend's work in Afghanistan, here's a thing, you can start a thread about it. And I'm sure you'll get lots of people wanting to discuss it with you. And hopefully, no one will post something along the lines of "why are you discussing this when climate change is the most important issue as if the world gets consumed by floods, there'll be no burkhas anyway."
