The Non-Feminist Point of View

600 replies

I have noticed over the last while that the Feminist section has grown over the last bit.

This does not surprise me, but I feel compelled to ask why this site has begun to ascribe to a sociopolitical ideology when it was originally a resource for parents.

I think that as a result of this discrepancy, non-feminist points of view should have their own section as well. I hope people who disagree with inequalities feminism has created within our legislation will be compelled to express themselves more often.

I don't see it as unreasonable. Since there will be disagreements on various topics, I just figure a non-feminist based section would be in order. This way parents have a choice that reflects both sides of the coin.

Wouldn't you rather be friends with us mdowdall? Wouldn't you be happier? Really?

That 'Women Love Rape' link is so disturbing PrincessHumperdink.

Is that a typical Non Feminist or AntiMisandry view?

Pagwatch · 29/06/2011 18:01

Oh he is trying at least.
None of their other mates have turned up.

mdowdall.

His pores they were open
And greasy and oozing
He never got lucky
When he went out cruising.
Sad

Is there such a thing as non-feminism? I am trying to think what the opposite would be and I can only think of patriarchy, where the power in society is held by adult men. Except feminism isn't suggesting that the power should be held by women (that would be a matriarchy). So it seems to me that feminism is actually reasonably inclusive of men in its desire for fairness.

Who? Not Jamez?

That's terrible, we need to bring him round with love. He's never had love, he's all damaged and hurt.

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 18:05

I'm sure she can floosiemcwoosie. And I'm sure I can spell bullshit.

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 18:09

Jamez2, are you back? I think we should all strat afresh with love and open heats and minds.

Tell us about your life.

SuePurblybilt · 29/06/2011 18:09

Howling Shock. You know him then?

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 18:09

No, Holdall, I am serious. Why don't you want to be friends?

Pagwatch · 29/06/2011 18:09

He's not feeling the love hully

I fear it may be hopeless.

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 18:11

Jamez - I am now really upset. You are from texas! My favourite state. Texans are lovely, what happened to you, darling? Where did it go so wromg?

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 18:12

Love is the way. We will love them into peace and harmony. Their hearts are sad and damaged, or they wouldn't think and speak as they do.

PinotsEvilTwin · 29/06/2011 18:12

Sin - just, erm, thoughts about kittens. Generic, fluffy, purry, cute kitten thoughts.

I can't say sprinkles kittens as that implies I've chopped them up and am dispersing them as evidence. That would be wrong. Obvs.

At the mo, kitten 1 is lying in the sunshine, kitten 2 is asleep in a cardboard box. See - nice thoughts

The only other Shania Twain song I can think of right now is "Man! I feel like a woman"

This might help calm everyone down

(not the bat, or Terry, but something nice, I promise)
