that these men make me want to vomit?

How dare they apologise on behalf of me for something I didn't do.. I must have missed a meeting. I've never burnt any witches! Ok, maybe a couple, but they were real witches I promise. Or am I being an unreasonable man, like all my evil kind, and your wondrous feminine energy welcomes this humble and sincere, er, thing?

MQ is a flower facist, obvs

Well, I've watched a bit of the youtube video that ShoesyTwoesy linked to, and frankly it was saccharine beyond words - so sweet I got tooth decay just listening to it. I couldn't watch to the end - I didn't have a bucket handy.

And, speaking for myself, I do not expect or want today's men to apologise for other men's actions.

There is no question that sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, oppression, discrimination (whatever its basis - gender, race, sexuality etc) are wrong, and any person involved in these should feel ashamed and apologise - but I am not sure that the consciousman manifesto is the way forward. Surely what matters is that we respect other people and treat them the way we'd like to be treated - do we need a honeyed video manifesto for that?

AnyFucker - you apple dandelion!

[gets into the swing of insulting people using flowers and fruit]

Fecking flower racialists, as bad as fruit bigots.
Discrimination, people. It saddens me. Can't we all just get along?

TAB, you Yellow-bellied Marigold, you !

disclaimer I only linked the thing as the poor man was having si much trouble. I didn't watch it

Ah - and apologies for being so far behind the times - I didn't realise this had already been dealt with in Feminism.

Am now off to carry on with my domestic duties - making tomorrow's Shepherd's pie, tidying the kitchen, and doing the ironing.

I got bored 3 minutes in, anyone make it to the end?

The op has grown on me, can we keep him? Pleeeeeeeease????

I fear we have scared him away Honeydragon.

Apology accepted! So it was you all along you lying twunts.

I'm going to make my husband quote this word for word, in a circle of tealights...possibly wearing a toga. With some ivy round his bald head.

And I want a complete apology, otherwise I'm going to divorce the fucker!

A fruit bigot sounds like a rather pleasant pudding.....

One of them gracefully requests intimacy...

Does "fancy a bit tonight after your bath love?" fit into this category please?

Didn't we already do that creepy link?

Is Sunderland the one I always assume is on the south coast but actually isn't? Or is that Southampton?

Pear-shaped weeds!

[wonders if someone will start pelting actual fruit]

On a serious note, no I will not apologise for things other people have done, although it is wrong. I do sometimes feel ashamed that some of it still happens, and for the stuff I sometimes here on here. But surelymen saying how ashamed we all are for our race is just gonna continue the divide? Can't we just say that "People" have done cruel things in the name of prejudism of various kinds and that we should all move on and stop dwelling on our little biological differences? Stop caring what reproductive system or skin colour or orinetation, and get on with life?

Southampton is on the South coast aubergine, as the name would suggest. Northampton is err, in the Midlands

"LOVE the fact that a bloke has had to have a helping hand from a woman re. technical stuff!"

Yet another thing for the womanly helping hand.....pass me a banana

I was about to apologise to all the Bananas that i have ever split.

Now i see i don't need to bother.

here op here opppy oppy

"Those pansies were vilified on the Feminist thread several weeks ago for being pillocks looking for pussy"

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them. That they were these simpering creeps who thought that by being sensitive and faux right on they may finally get laid

oh and yes I am a flower fascist

I think the Bananahead has now made like a banana and split.

Noooooooooooooooooo! I liked him, he has to come back.

MayorQuimby .... I find my self perturbed to be wholeheartedly agreeing with your sentiment.

I thought it was a bit over earnest but also rather moving... I do enjoy a bit of American style over emoting and sentimentality...

Was inspired by binfullofmaggots DH wearing toga with ivy crown reciting consciousness manifesto to her.

I'm off to find my DH and see if he's also up for it...

Yay, let's get them together and do it - I have a maxipack of tealights from IKEA, and DH is always moaning I have too many of them

Can anyone provide the Ivy headbands?

I imagine he will come back, but with a different hat on IYSWIM.
