More substantive info needed.

Otherwise, YABU.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 25/12/2011 23:42

Perhaps you should go take it up with them ?

I know i will be told IABU.

More info, ok: I only read the first 2 threads. I found one of them very patronising and the other very silly. So basically i feel put off reading any others. Which is a shame because there are sometimes good discussions there.
I feel that some threads actually give bad name to Feminism and they think that they serve it. I find this annoying (after few drinks).

I think you will feel a little silly in the morning Xmas Smile

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 25/12/2011 23:51

And yet the myriad of wankerish threads in AIBU hasn't stopped you visiting this section?

Laquitar · 25/12/2011 23:51

FreudianSlipper · 25/12/2011 23:56

yes i often get annoyed after visiting the femenist section usually by a story of yet another woman or group of women that have suffered terrible abuse

Laquitar · 26/12/2011 00:02

Freudian did i say i want any support towards victims of dv to stop? Please.

BarfTheHeraldAngelsHeave · 26/12/2011 00:03

I have the solution.

Read all of the feminism threads, but stick "AIBU" at the start or the end when you read the OP or title so you can pretend they are in here.

There's nowt in the feminism section thats sillier than stuff you'd find in AIBU.

HaveYourselfAMardyLittleXmas · 26/12/2011 00:07

YABU for not giving proper reasons.

I suspect that, even if you gave reasons, you would still be unreasonable.

Laquitar · 26/12/2011 00:10

Grin Barf

But at least the silliness here is not pretendious and it doesn't give a bad name to a group that has done and still doing serious and good work.

DioneTheDiabolist · 26/12/2011 00:17

Nah, YANBU. But understand that, like Politics and Religion, it is an entirely subjective forum based on belief. Belief is as individual as, well erm, the individual.

Keep going to that forum, it's good to put forward your views and have your beliefs challenged. It will increase your knowledge and understanding. If it gets too much, leave it for a while.

It's ok.

seeker · 26/12/2011 00:18

Let me guess. You get annoyed because you like men and wearing pretty things and you think feminists are telling you that you can't do either? Or is it that you've nvwr had the slightest trouble making your own way in ther world and you think women are equal now and there are no more battles to be fought? Or ia it that you think men and women are just different and some are just better suited to some jobs than others? or is it that you think prostitutes and lap dancers are making strong powerful independent choices in ther lives? Or is it that you find feminists strident and humourless? Or all of the above?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 26/12/2011 00:22

gosh, don't be silly, seeker

Laq is a feminist

she simply doesn't like the other feminists on here, that's all

because they won't STFU and listen

Laquitar · 26/12/2011 00:22

Er? How much drink did you have seeker Hmm

OP posts:
AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 26/12/2011 00:22

or summat like that...

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 26/12/2011 00:29

I don't really understand how a feminist posting in the feminism section about how a major cultural event in some aspects reflects the structure of the society in which it takes place, is in any way controversial, upsetting or irritating. But I shan't quibble, because as you say, it's the season of goodwill to all men...

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 26/12/2011 00:38

Well apparently neither can Laquitar LRD as she hasn't actually given any reasons why she is annoyed/thinks the feminist section is silly.

Laquitar · 26/12/2011 00:42

Hand can you please read before you post and don't put words in other's mouths?
