just wondering...
Can't think of much myself but thought it might be an interesting topic!
Ok here goes..
My husband left me for a goat
To have a phobia of floors
Please add, it is a boring night...

Aibu to think that women who moan about feminist should have a little rethink next time they vote/ work after marriage/ rights over their own body/ having an education........

I did once start an AIBU asking if I was unreasonable to want to be able to buy single rubber gloves, as the right hand one always wears out before the left. I think I had something like 7 brand-new LH gloves and no RHs. I was told that I was being UR, as I was clearly using the RH gloves in my Michael Jackson tribute band...

poledra

you can turn the LH ones inside out and before you put them on use some cream on your hands.

Thank you for being a perfect example

Any woman who makes a choice to suit themselves that disagrees with a feminist is poorly educated and clearly wrong.

Reasonable people can accept that different people in different situations may want different things and are entitled to decide for themselves without being belittled. Dentists clearly aren't reasonable people or pro choice.

Feminists are a disgrace to other women for this reason!

PMSL at dentists*

I hold my hands up, I need more educating so I don't fall prey to autocorrect again

Where did I say that?

You know the phrase every man is a potential rapist, was actually used to explain why women feel afraid if walking alone at night and a man starts walking behind them i.e. it is not that every man will rape a woman in that situation. It is that in that situation, you don't know who is safe and who may be a rapist.

Most of us have felt that fear when it is dark and you are walking on the street alone and a man starts walking behind you. Although most of those men would probably be shocked to hear the woman had been afraid.

I didn't say you were wrong
I didn't say you were poorly educated, I said to be able to have an education just like everyone else.

And them you go on about having a choice. How do you think you got that?

I've never been scared of men while walking alone in the dark.

And spot on Joysmum.Nobody can bring up feminism of the past because that was different.

It's modern 'femenists' that are the issue!Personally,I know I can do what I want,think what I want and am equal,I also love red lacey lingerie -shoot me (apparently no woman likes this pfft!).I know I can do things because I am a PERSON in my own right with my own mind.I am equal because I act and feel it.Being equal does not equate to not having any gender differences or being identical to men.

You speak like all feminist think the same and are somehow like the Borg?

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

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

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

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?

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

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'.

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

But anyone can be annoying what ever they believe.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
