Since I killed the old one.

yes really interesting MarySue. If I could be bothered to, I'd argue with it, but it's too late and too much of my life has been taken up by this already. Maybe someone who keeps different hours from me will come along or maybe I'll come back and waste several more hours of my life tomorrow...

He's awful!

Link me someone tall dark and handsome.

And oh the choice thing... the ignorance about the sex industry
And the best person for the job who always happens to be a white rich man
And the lies about pay statistics
And the crap about how DV is dealt with - it might be dealt with, but not properly

But it's so late

MarySueFTW · 04/07/2011 23:02

The status quo is the rich getting richer... especially at the moment, as Cameron's housing reforms will make millions of families - children! - homeless. Can we all not prioritize helping them and realise who makes us fight over rights and resources while they laugh all the way to the bankers (to give them more of our money?) Feminism seems like a real distraction right now, sorry.

Oh yes, caring about half of humanity is such a big distraction

Women's rights are way down the pecking order

Oh my I can't disagree with you there HRH

Carminagetsprimal · 04/07/2011 23:04

The ultimate male sex god,

Thank you HerBex.

HerBeX · 04/07/2011 23:05

You help women, you help the poor Mary.

Poverty is a gendered issue you know

Thing is is that hollyoaks bloke handsome or pretty?

I would say he is both. As is Johnny Depp.

Whereas Robert P is merely pretty.

MarySueFTW · 04/07/2011 23:08

"And oh the choice thing... the ignorance about the sex industry"
Don't assume we're all ignorant.

"And the best person for the job who always happens to be a white rich man"
Agreed, I hate it too. What's yr solution? Don't suggest a book, tell me tomorrow if your tired.

"And the lies about pay statistics"
I was open minded, doesn't seem like crap

"And the crap about how DV is dealt with - it might be dealt with, but not properly"
I agree, but I don't see how you've addressed what i've said. Probably better to wait until you can post something other than 'this crap is a load of stupid crap, but I'm too tired to explain why.'

I thought you were quite unreasonable before, but I warmed to you more in this thread, so I'm not being mean.

Carminagetsprimal · 04/07/2011 23:09

JD is pretty boy handsome deffo

MillyR · 04/07/2011 23:11

I would say that Johnny Depp is more handsome than pretty. He's too far down the handsome end of the spectrum for me anyway.

MarySueFTW · 04/07/2011 23:11

"You help women, you help the poor Mary."

If its by addressing objectification in the media or the top 500 CEOs only being 3% female, I think it would be easier to help women by helping the poor.

Seriously people, you are all wrong:

I'm just hoping I can still afford college, what if they start cutting all the needed scholarships and grants for women?
