"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"

NO JOKING anyone

Punk is here

SuePurblybilt · 21/09/2012 15:55

XP

Punk, I'm sorry for your friend. But I am baffled as to how this has become about men and/or domestic violence or why you're ashamed of this thread?

IvorHughJanus · 21/09/2012 15:55

I have no fucking clue what is going on.

I think if Hully is talking loudly about her vagine at work and allowing others to say 'yes, Hully is the girl over there with the vagine' then she has bigger fish to fry.

That's awful that someone suffered DV and had no access to help. I suppose it must be a matter of funding, a bit like all the rape crisis places that are being forced to close due to lack of funding.

Most places that help female victims of DV are charities - why don't you set up a charity for male victims?

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 21/09/2012 15:57

Vagine smagine.

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 15:58

I was reading an interesting thread about the entymoplogy of the word vagina and it means SHEATH or SWORD SHEATH as in PENIS HOLDER.

That's bad. I prefer vagine I think. Or The Bat Cave as I call mine.

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 15:59

My name in real life is actually Vagine Regina.

So don't take th episs.

atacareercrossroads · 21/09/2012 15:59

No Sue, it does say its often offensive (it doesnt say particularly to employees though)

But its not offensive to me. And tbf thats only one part of the definition.

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 15:59

I call mine Hortensia Ffffffortescue

atacareercrossroads · 21/09/2012 16:01

oh yes it does, carry on.....

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 21/09/2012 16:02

lol @ Bat Cave.

SuePurblybilt · 21/09/2012 16:02

FWIW Punk is quite right about me being horrified if the anecdote was reversed. Doesn't stop the original from slaying me. But quite right.

Bat CAVE? Shirts? I don't think I'd like the cavernous association. Makes one thing of Wookie Hole or Cheddar Gorge.

SuePurblybilt · 21/09/2012 16:03

MAKES ONE THINK, not THING.

PunkInDublic · 21/09/2012 16:03

For me this became about men when it was said that men shouldn't have access to the same rape and domestic violence support as women as they are not a historically oppressed group.

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 16:03

I expect there ARE bats in there.

IvorHughJanus · 21/09/2012 16:04

Someone once sent me this which contains some handy euphamisms if 'vagina' isn't your thing. Personally I prefer 'flap-dragon'.

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 16:04

Oh and the wookie hole.

That's a brilliant name for a vagina

ShirtyKnot · 21/09/2012 16:05

Er, did you read my post about most DV and rape help available for women are charities? Punk.

So y'know? Maybe the men who have been affected could start a charity for men who are affected now. Or you could. Or Rthingy or ANYONE really.

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 16:06

Oh thank you Ivor

Satan's Doorbell for me

SuePurblybilt · 21/09/2012 16:07

Ivor, that IS handy. I like Neighbour of Anus.
But I think I'd choose Ovary Hallway. If I get bored I could change to Cervix Porch or Fallopian Foyer.

Purple headed womb ferret

< not at all sure how that will go down >

Hullygully · 21/09/2012 16:07

IvorHughJanus · 21/09/2012 16:08
