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.

LOLZ.

Seriously though, I'm a bit worried about you James - did you have a bad relationship with your mother?

And to balance good housekeeping there should be a section about how to make your oven even dirtier and your bedlinen greyer.

Trillian - I think he might have meant "sick".

TrilllianAstra · 29/06/2011 15:34

You call this us being pissed? Hah. pathetic attempt.

1 - we can get a lot more pissed off than this
2 - if you mean drunk then no, not really, it's not Wine o'clock yet

Anyfucker - don't. It's got feminist scabbiness on it.

TrilllianAstra · 29/06/2011 15:36

To balance Relationships there should be a section about how to be a recluse and never ever speak to anyone. It could include tips on which supermarkets have the least chatty grocery-delivery-people.

Once again. Ad hominem attacks.
Can someone please attempt to define a well thought out reason why there is not a non-feminist section. And no...using the "women use this this site" argument is not enough. I know plenty of non-feminist women who have children or are expecting, and are dismayed by feminism.

Now that's nasty Mordred - why would you wish him on anyone? American women don't deserve this, they have enough to deal with.

TandB · 29/06/2011 15:37

I'm dismayed by feminism. It offends me. It has stopped DP chaining me to the kitchen sink which used to be kind of fun.

that pic of james reminds me of the ones that teenage girls do on Facebook

you know ?

the coy sideways look, the sexy squint through the fringe, the knowing snog-me-sideways eye contact

I am in luuuuurve

What is a feminist in your opinion?

Why on earth would anyone be anti -equality? It would be like being pro kicking kittens. No one would take you seriously, they'd think you were stupid and/or cruel.

TrilllianAstra · 29/06/2011 15:38

Can someone please attempt to define a well thought out reason why there is not a non-feminist section.

Because no-one who actually uses the site has asked for one, and because the existence of a section does not require the existence of an opposite section, as evidenced by all of the parodies of anti-ChickenKeepers, anti-GoodHousekeeping, anti-Relationships.

Mordred · 29/06/2011 15:39

GPWM, Trillian.

TrilllianAstra · 29/06/2011 15:39

Alternatively, because the only people who would want an anti-equality section are women-hating men, and they don't tend to last very long around here.

ShirleyKnot · 29/06/2011 15:40

PRO KICKING KITTENS TOPIC?
