"I'm not a feminist"

"oh, I'm so much less of a feminist than you are"

"I'm so not a femynyst I don't even know how to spell it"

I didn't. I'm not taking any notice of this either.
It's just that I noticed there was a potential catch 22 situation. Which I'm now being blamed for.

What is the point of this thread ?

How does it aid equality ?

enimmead · 21/09/2012 12:46

"They would love to have women go and make the tea. Especially in lippy and short skirts. But only if they've done the ironing first."

Isn't that a bit of a patronising and generalising comment about men? Especially those who who want men to have access to DV units?

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 12:48

What's the point of half the threads on AIBU? Confused

How do they aid anything other than cyber bun manufacturererers?

good point.

missymoomoomee · 21/09/2012 12:50

Hully are you suggesting that the men who are campaigning to have equal services for men and women in the instances of DV and rape only want women to make tea and look nice?

Thats the sort of ridiculous comment that makes me not want to be associated with the word 'feminist'

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 12:50

oh good

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 12:51

LOLZ!

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 12:52

I'm really liking doing a LOL now and again. I might be behind the times and all that but there is something deeply satisfying about a capital letter LOL. the lol though, that's still AWFUL lol.

gordyslovesheep · 21/09/2012 12:53

Bloody good post Latara I am a feminist and proud of it - I also shave, wear make up, dye my hair and have fuck off heels ...I believe in equality, fairness and choice

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 12:54

I'm not a feminist because they shout a lot and it's not very attractive.

Baby Jesus wants ladies to be calm and quiet and sweetly pretty.

gordyslovesheep · 21/09/2012 12:54

oh and if men want refuges they can get out there, march, campaign and fund raise like women HAD TO - why should they just point at what women have achieved and moan 'snot fair we want that' - go out and make it happen

NigellasGuest · 21/09/2012 12:54

Lauren Laverne says people who are not feminists are thick.
And what she says, goes

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 12:55

Also, I like to embroider my own chastity belt and beat myself up when my hubs is a bit too tired to do it for me.

Kayano · 21/09/2012 12:57

You've turned the whole thread into a pitiful laughing stock and have mocked make suffered of dv?

Hmm brilliant feminism

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 12:58

what me?

I have mocked make suffered?

God I'm good.

missymoomoomee · 21/09/2012 12:59

oh and if men want refuges they can get out there, march, campaign and fund raise like women HAD TO - why should they just point at what women have achieved and moan..

Really

So you think that men who suffer DV and rape should have nowhere to go to prove a point?

Nice attitude.

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 12:59

It's hardly turned the thread into a laughing stock. Considering at the beginning of the thread everyone was screaming for it to be deleted I find that a bit LOL.

And where's the mocking of DV?

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 13:00

Can't we round them up and not believe them and send them home with a little chat about trying harder and not provoking stuff?

I thought that was the idea?

gordyslovesheep · 21/09/2012 13:01

what do you think WOMEN who where 'victims' of DV did - NO ONE cared - the feminist movement made all that happen

men have exactly the SAME option - go and demand it's done - why si that unfair?

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 13:02

Oh everyoen goes on about bloody women all the time

women this women that

what about the MENZ?

Won't someone think of the MENZ?

Working their little butts off to come home and be slapped.

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 13:02

Talk about "tactics". One minute we're discussing why women identify as non-fem, the next we're talking about men who get raped.

enimmead · 21/09/2012 13:03

Your comment about the men at such men's rights meetings only wanting women to look pretty, wear lip gloss and make tea says a lot about your view of men.

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 13:03

They're not even allowed to wear PINK cos the women stoled it

Kayano · 21/09/2012 13:03

They are doing that and you are ripping the piss out of them. It's disgusting.
