to believe that most feminists are in actual fact giving women a bad name?

I, along with most women I imagine are grateful that women fought to give us a vote.....

However I believe that things have gone to far..I hate women who moan and bitch about how they can't have everything!!!!!!!!

No your damn right you can not have everything ...if you go to work full time when your children are young, YOU WILL MISS OUT!!!!!

Why should women have it all???

I believe that most feminists think that they are more worthy of having everything then men and guess what you are wrong...men dont have it all...most men still work full time and still miss out on their children..

Men used to provide for their families...Men used to have a little pride...I don't think that that those women all those years ago wanted things to go this far...where some women see men as useless and think they can do everthing with out them..including having children...fair enough if you split up and you end up a single mum thats one thing but choosing to have a baby alone is just plain selfish....women should not be allowed to use a sperm doner if they are single..

So you feminists who think you are better then men and that you can have everything..YOU ARE WRONG...I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear me OP, all those capital letters and exclamation marks. Is it cathartic at all?

BelleDameSansMerci · 04/06/2011 20:31

OP, it's a shame that the equal rights those feminists fought so hard for were clearly wasted when it came to your education. Do at least try to compose a literate post to support your fundamentally flawed argument.

BH - I really feel uncomfortable when people take the piss out of spelling mistakes - It's unnecessary.

So dads don't miss out then? Why's that OK? Maybe we should try to change things so both parents get to parent and work?

BooyHoo · 04/06/2011 20:35

i agree with you about spelling mistakes. it isn't nice. we cant all have a masters in english. nor are we all english speaking as a first language.

but your posts (on all threads not just this one) always seem to be deliberately provocative. as if you are always looking for a rise.

I wonder if OP was using a stone to type with...in her homely cave, whilst gently roasting a dinosaur to eat over the fire in anticipation of hubby's return from his hunting.

ug, ug...

Primalscream · 04/06/2011 20:37

Yes her spelling isn't great, but it's her views that are up for debate.

So the OP is to be compared to a war mongering dead PM....yes, I can see the parrallel

opalinski · 04/06/2011 20:41

me too...I must be pm standard as I cant spell

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 04/06/2011 20:41

Has there been a 'call to arms', or something?

I personally think that any woman who calls another woman 'brain dead' is no feminist, just outstandingly rude and condescending. Ditto with the picking up of spelling mistakes and suchlike. How does anybody know what education the OP has or hasn't had or what she does in her life? So rude and unnecessary.

TheFlyingOnion · 04/06/2011 20:42

hmmm in my more tragically single moments I do wonder if everything was easier when you just got married and had kids at 18 and then stayed at home...

No choice therefore no hand-wringing

EauRouge · 04/06/2011 20:43

That might be the stupidest OP I've ever read.

BelleDameSansMerci · 04/06/2011 20:43

Erm, if the "spelling mistake" comments are aimed at my rather pointed post, I meant the OP's education in general as she/he clearly doesn't have much understanding of social history.

BelleDameSansMerci · 04/06/2011 20:44

Although, the "literate comment" was just me being a bitch.

Since when did you have to work full time to be a feminist? Since when were we all single parents? Since when did we think were are all better then men. Since when did we think we could have everything or even want everything whatever the hell that entails? Just wondering...

Primalscream · 04/06/2011 20:48

BH - I'm really sorry I'm rubbing you up the wrong way, certainly not intentional Blush

AwesomePan · 04/06/2011 20:48

This is a mumsnet competition, isn't it?

Sperm doner? Well, when you look down at a lamb donner kebab with only the strips of meat on it facing up in an elogated sphere......well..it can look kinda....well...erm.....gulp!

microserf · 04/06/2011 20:49
