Friend of a friend got herself deliberately pregnant 7 years ago in the hope the bloke would want to marry her. He didn't but takes more than care of her and her DS (rent,car, clothes,holidays, private school etc etc),sees his DS every weekend, and drops everything when she calls because she can't control DS on her own. She harps on constantly about how proud she is to be an independent feminist when it seems all she does is ask for money and help from this poor bloke!

I am also a single mum but grateful for any support my ex can actually be arsed to give me

Feels like she is she just using feminism as an excuse to be a gobby under achiever?

I'll make you a bespoke one out of bacofoil so you can get yourself some huge diddies.

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/08/2013 16:08

Could you wear tin-foil hats on the new bosoms? I must spend more time in S and B with you well-informed feminists.

FrigginRexManningDay · 26/08/2013 16:11

We don't wear anything on our bosoms,the Rockefeller's want us to show them off so that they distract the menz whilst they take over the world.

OP, YANBU. Real feminists are bra burning, man hating crusaders. She is a fake and phoney. She has let down you, she has let me down me, she has let down herself but more importantly, she has let down feminism. Shame on her!

Still trying to work out how she got herself pregnant.....scratches head, looks in knickers. Nah, don't think it will catch on.

Lionstigersandbears · 26/08/2013 17:02

Apologies, should have worded it differently. She planned the pregnancy without consulting him. Better?

You should feel ridiculous. Your pigeon accent is terrible.

  1. A real feminist would never question another woman's right to call herself a feminist.
  1. You will never see the whole picture no matter how many details you think you know.
  1. You are being a judgey judgerson.
