AIBU to wonder why any woman would identify herself as [2]

[garlicnutter]

... not a feminist?

Since I killed the old one.

BH; yeah why not

Heck, I'm a student. We're supposed to spend most of our time stoned, right?

And Goblin, you dark horse...

oh god yes

Me?
I can't imagine what you are implying DKMP.
Have a brownie.

Deja vu and I've not even inhaled.

I looked at your thread peanut - great idea but the feminism section really isn't for me - I just haven't got the time to get involved in serious debate these days - & to do some of the issues justice you really need to spend hours on-line - I just can't.

I've missed the last 5 hours of this, but will respond to ExoticFruits anyway.

I'm not objecting to boys having their own single sex leisure activities. I don't have an issue with it at all.

I am simply pointing out that it is untrue that all the boys' activities have been taken over by girls. They haven't. Lots of single sex activities still exist.

Biscuit? Pringles?

I've got choccy biscuits and fizzy wine (again)

How interesting that you claim to be the new feminism omigawd

Because I've never seen you express anything that sounded remotely feminist.

Do I take it that the new feminism is a little bit like the old not-feminism?

I am actually quite pissed off that Mumsnet is allowing this thread to continue in the way it is. Constant snide implications without having the balls to actually come out and name people.

I can't be bothered to waste more hours of my life engaging with this shit, I think these threads were set up in order to divert us from debating feminism because lots of MRA's are really threatened and angry about women talking about the specific injustice that is directed against us. And there is a strand of lefty boy socialist type politics, that thinks women should make the tea come the revolution and they utterly resent our intelligence and energy being directed into improving our lot when they think we should be working for them, as usual.

They do, Milly, they do. I like Woodcraft Folk for jollity and non-genderness.

Herbie, we's all stoned now. And not one person agreed with Omigawd, so chill.

@Herbex I seemed to have united both non-feminist and feminist with my mini-manifesto. I shall take my bow now :)

Sorry, back... Trying to make sense of my revision material. Ironically, I passed the exam to which I turned up having not revised, after having no sleep the night before, and read the short story on the way there.... Oh. And I fell asleep in the exam...

That's like the BNP saying they've embraced multiculturalism, omigawd

Well done on passing your exam -
I have an exam in October but I'm so far behind with my reading I know I'll fail with flying colours -
Honestly, if a fly enters the room I'll look up and watch it - literally anything can take me away from what I'm supposed to be doing.

Thank you, Carmina. It's kind of been a kick up the backside. On the tail end of a bad year, I kinda slacked off last semester. But nope, this is kind of a reminder that I can do this.

Good luck with your exam as well. I find a small snack, plenty of water and some lavender oil helps me relax enough to revise... when I do revise, that is...

On a weird note, I do better when I don't revise... someone explain how that works, please?

you're obviously just super intelligent

I have to read something over and over before I fully understand and absorb it. I had set aside a few hours tonight to do some reading but I ended up watching a programme on BBC2 about church restoration ( which was fab ) and now here I am on bleeding MN - [hopeless case]

HRH same here... I might just let my DB hoold my laptop hostage until August

Carmina, I doubt it, but tthank you anyway! some of us just have short att... I've missed Eastenders...

I almost failed my degree due to Doom II (thats how long ago it was). It was that or write my dissertation. In the end I had to go home and get my mum to sit in the room with me to make sure I did it and even then I browsed sodding encarta as I could make it look like work.

It is hard to stay focused when there's so many distractions /

Nightcap anyone
