It won't stop me talking about the origin of these things as patriarchial and the messages they give out.

Which is fine-it is your opinion and we are all free to agree or disagree. What you can't do is expect everyone to see your view as the accepted feminist view. I am a feminist-I don't agree with everything that I read on MN feminist threads.

Bugger, autocorrect: afford.

[echt]

I think I mean "accord".

[echt]

What Grennie said.

Although I do care that names are changed on marriage, I just STFU about in RL and wish the silly fuckers who allow their names to be taken, would accord me the same courtesy.

[Grennie]

And one thing you quickly learn on MN, is that you can't control how a thread will go.

[Grennie]

Even when I wasnt a feminist, I still thought some women were wrong about their views and actions. Don't we all think about some people?

I do agree it is wrong to degrade women who don't agree with you, whether you are a feminist or not.

Personally I don't really care what underwear you wear, whether you wear make up, change your name on marriage, etc. Up to you. It won't stop me talking about the origin of these things as patriarchial and the messages they give out.

[echt]

The OP invited views. There are many post with what I would see as intemperate, generalised views of feminism, with no real examples, so yes, they will get taken on.

[ZingSweetApple]

OP asked for thread titles, not arguing.

AIBU doesn't mean "let's fight"

so YABU

[echt]

YABU. This is AIBU. It does what it says on the tin.

[ZingSweetApple]

AIBU to get annoyed that yet another fun thread is fucked up by people arguing?

[echt]

Er… we're all socially constructed because we're brought up as social beings: family, class, race and gender. This is merely to state the obvious. These may define us to a greater or lesser extent, as we feel. On the other hand we may feel free of definitions, but others can impose them on us as women, fat, older, married, etc. We can do little to stop someone seeing us this way. It's the way the world, for them, is constructed.

Sometimes the feeling is so cosy we may feel the construct as natural, but it is still a construct. It doesn't mean it's a right or wrong way to feel. To be aware of its construction is to have another insight/view into the way things appear to be. And the possibility that it doesn't have to be this way.

I think, though I don't know, that this how some feminists may appear to be overbearing, though I prefer to think they're just pointing out another way of looking at things.

You have to be a feminist to say someone is a twat?That's new to me!

[Grennie]

AIBU to get annoyed by some MNers having a go at all feminists? As if we are all a monolithic group, instead of a group of women, some of whom you won't agree with and some of whom will even be annoying....like you know, any group of people?

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Of course they can.The problem with this particular type of feminist (thankfully there are still feminists that aren't annoying) is they feel the need to degrade women who don't agree,tell them they're letting the team down,cannot resist trying to change them or telling them they are wrong.

[complexnumber]

AIBU to think that it is my house and if I want to light my farts I can.

... and I shouldn't have to ask MIL if it's ok with her when she is in the room.

[Grennie]

And what about women being abused by their partner who say their DP is lovely? Are feminists wrong to say their DP isn't lovely?

[ZingSweetApple]

AIBU to wish that troll hunting should become an Olympic sport?

[AnyaKnowIt]

But anyone can be annoying what ever they believe.

[AnyaKnowIt]

But voting isn't compulsory so if you wanted to vote, vote. If you didnt, you didn't.

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

That's differently kettle of fish Grennie.That was a freedom and a right.

Not telling women they clearly have no mind of their own/are unable on their own/ blah blah blah if they do not agree that they have the same thoughts as the annoying 'feminists'.

[AnyaKnowIt]

To be honest, I don't care about what underwear you wear

[Grennie]

You know women fighting for the vote were labelled extremists by many? And some women complained that those feminists were being unfair as some women didn't want the vote?

[AnyaKnowIt]

So does the 'im alright so fuck everyone else' train of thought

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Just to add,I actually prefer red satin with black lace underwear but the point is the same -I love sexy underwear for me because I like my sexuality and I love what I get when I wear it

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Not all feminists think the same but so many seem to,or they are the ones we hear.The ones who bang on about us being socially constructed yet try and do the same thing because they think they know what women,as a collective,like,want need,think and feel.

Those are the ones doing the damage.

Along with ones (usually the same ones) who think that feeling good in a dress makes you stupid and shallow ffs
