to totally fail to understand why Sexism is never seen as bad as racism??

[chemicalsister]

Following on from the Saudi Olympics thread, I keep getting upset about Sexism thriving in the modern world when racism is quite correctly - seen by the fast majority as clearly wrong and abhorent.
Even educated professionals have wound me up recently asserting we sholud adapt schools, especially first few years of infants , to better suit boys and their poorer attention span,
AND poor boys now do less well at exams at 16 so we must reduce course work etc..
I am old and remember when boys did better than girls at 16-- There was no outrage and plans to change exams then! It was just seen as inevitable ..... Fume!

forty don't worry just keep plugging away at the message and the absolutely best way is to lead by example.

Sigmund I am a feminist. I live my life in a way that forces equality both ways as much as possible. I have never read any feminist theory and therefore cannot be defined or dictated by it.

To say all those who define themselves as feminist are the same is as ludicrous as saying all catholics hate homosexuals as it is in the doctrine.

Is that not allowed then Kim? MN stipulated that FWR was for everyone to debate, it's not a closed feminist forum. This has been done to death. Maybe I am keen to put forward an alternative view that is important to me? I don't see feminists holding back on none FWR boards when something crops up that they disagree with.

Explain to me why I should? I have tried very hard just lately to employ PARD. It is usually me who is attacked, the post above is a perfect example.

'To say all those who define themselves as feminist are the same is as ludicrous as saying all catholics hate homosexuals as it is in the doctrine.'

But it creates utter confusion. It also means that people decide to lump you in with the feminists who bulldoze their way into public consciousness..think Greer/Julie Bindel et al...it's an unfortunate consequence of not having a cohesive movement.

It is usually me who is attacked, the post above is a perfect example.

You'll live mate

I fucking love me a cupcake KIM.

Check out my posting history Kim, your statement is untrue. That's about all I have to say on that matter.

I want women to have equal access to recouses as men and to be seen as equal in the work place which means men would be seen as equal in the home and in other areas of their lives.

It's called "feminism" but unlike "men's rights activism" it actually helps men.

'You'll live mate'

Oh, that's OK then

'I checked out your history. It's fascinating.'

Not as fascinating as your history.

Well that's true.

But you can't deny it's varied

'but manage to get scared of randoms on the interwebs enough to report them'

Re-reported.

No, I can't deny that Kim!

You already said you reported me on thread, is it a secret now?

Blimey! I was making a joke, not recommending a course of action.

No, I reported your most recent post, the one stating that my posts are bollocks. In my view, that's a personal attack.

MNHQ were very specific that while I can not call you bollocks, I can call your posts bollocks.

And you posts are super bollocks.

Thing is Partridge, you keep attacking me. My posts are bollocks, I'm thick & I live in a cave etc...you have asserted this three times. I have been civil towards you. Attacking me is not necessary, you can make your point without it.

NO you are talking bollocks by saying "feminism says x y z"

where xy and z are, you know, not true.

That isn't attacking you it's stating a fact. MNHQ presumably haven't got the time to read every thread so they delete as necessary. but It's pretty obvious you are being goady.

Oh and I never said you were thick and live in a cave, I said you assume women reading your posts are and that they will believe you.

Please do read my posts before reporting them
