to wish that people would stop assuming I'm a feminist just because I'm female?

Does this happen to other people? It's beginning to annoy me.

OP posts:
BitOutOfPractice · 28/05/2014 23:09

Let's invite everyone. We can all speak probably all at once

Actually I'm looking round and I don't see the op any more.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:10

Funny, that.

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:10

Shergar is dead. I am sorry to be the one to break it to you, pag. What with you being pissed on holiday 'n' stuff.

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:10

I do have fucking awesome ankles.
Just so you know...

The Op is reading and learning, no doubt.
This is a public information broadcast, dontcha know

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:11

Public information about Shergar and Pag's ankles?

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:11

The only thing that would cheer me up is being invited to some feminist events.
[hopeful]

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:11

Pag, I betcha can't get 'em behind your neck

< eggs on the drunk woman >

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:12

Even my private space is all male: DH, 4 boys and 2 male guinea pigs.
I so need a women only event.
Where are all the invites, eh??

ThatBloodyWoman · 28/05/2014 23:12

I want to know what happened to Womens groups of the 80's where we all got to wear our best dungarees and support Bonnie and her boyfriend troubles, and go on anti apartheid demos.

We never even saw each others ankles in our monkey boots...< wistful >

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:12

Hey, knowledge is power, even if it is about deceased race horses and a finely turned ankle or so Pag claims

OwlCapone · 28/05/2014 23:12

Threads like this remind me why I have hidden all the feminist topics.

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:13

Oh lord. Don't.
I'll put a hip out for sure.

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:13

Do you know, I have never, ever owned a pair of dungarees Shock, never! Have I missed out??

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:13

Pag, I have an event for you. here you go

BitOutOfPractice · 28/05/2014 23:14

I cannot believe the shameless objectification of women going on on this thread. Call yourself -non-- feminists.

I might write a paper about this

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:14

pacific, are you on the women and space thread over in FWR?

Not that it is quite the level of sparkling debate over here, natch.

I really, really, really want to go to Radfem2014 with pag. We'd rock up to a hall full of happy dangaree-wearing lesbians (I speak from prior experience, I'm not being homophobic though I accept it may occasionally be hard to tell) and she'd demonstrate her pretty ankles. We'd be awesome.

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:15

owl there's one in it for you too, if you play your cards right Wink

I had indian cotton faded green ones Pag.

< right on >

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:16

Ooh, I've just noticed this thread, plus three from FWR, are in active convos. I am chuffed.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:17

(Like, the five big ones ... not the hundred page thing ... yeah, I'll stop wittering to myself now ...).

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:17

You would be awesome, LRD: you with your painted nails and Pag with her ankles.

Some of the nicest people I've known are lesbians btw Live and let live, I say. They are so normal, and nice, and don't even look like lesbians at all. 'Tis amazing.

I am not up for serious debate, no idea what attracted me to this one. It was only ever going to end in one of two ways: bunfight or funny derail. At least this is fun and soothes my troubled mind tonight.

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:18

They don't make dungarees big enough to contain my bahookie Grin
