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.

You're all invited to my event

How To Be a Goady Fucker on a Forum.

OP you especially need to attend this one.

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:19

That's two events right there.
Thank you AF !
LRD - we would be awesome Grin

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:19
Grin

Yeah, I'm not doing serious debate tonight. This has been pleasant, though.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:19

pag - we would. It's really a mystery why no-one has yet invited us.

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:20

HTBAGFOAF - hm. Not a v catchy acronym.
I see a marketing problem there.

TheSameBoat · 28/05/2014 23:21

I saw that too LRD and felt a frisson of happiness at the thought we might be overtaking the world at last!

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:21

I am rubbish at serious debate on feminist issues because I am so badly read and don't really do the lingo.

WillieWaggledagger · 28/05/2014 23:22

do you know there is a genuine conference with the acronym INANE? (it's not a feminist conference i hasten to add)

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:22

No worries, pag. My FB feed is full of 'em < airy wave >

AnyFucker · 28/05/2014 23:23

< polishes fingernails on collar of manky dressing gown >

WillieWaggledagger · 28/05/2014 23:23

well, it's not an anti-feminist conference either. but feminism isn't the conference subject

WilsonFrickett · 28/05/2014 23:24

You guys are funny.

Funny feminists.

I'm going to start a funny feminist event.

It shall be called 'feminists of fun

Corporate sponsors will be LK Bennett (for the kitten heels) and Levi (for the dungarees) and we'll have tree workshops (which I will lead, as 3 yrs at drama school has well trained me for this eventuality)

Op will not be the keynote speaker because it will make her sad.

Who's in sisters?

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:24

Don't say that AnyFucker, I'll start shouting at you to list them.

WillieWaggledagger · 28/05/2014 23:25

you could have bridget christie wilsonfrickett

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:26

Oh, oh, the acronym could be 'FFF': Fucking Funny Feminists.
'Cause feminists swear a lot well, I can do, when called upon

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:26

Aww.

Womyn referring to each other as sisters always makes me happy, willie. In my cold, dark soul.

What's the INANE conference, btw?

ThatBloodyWoman · 28/05/2014 23:26

Me.
But so long as I don't have to understand all the first, second and third wave (and tree) confusion.

I just want to dig me ol' dungers out again and walk the walk < goes misty eyed >

WilsonFrickett · 28/05/2014 23:26

Millions of xposts.

You've all started your own events without me.

And no-one has asked me to attend or speak

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/05/2014 23:27

No, no, FFS! It has to be Fucking Funny Sisters.

(It's not only me who finds 'sister' inappropriately amusing?)

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 28/05/2014 23:28

Wilson can I put on a puppet show? The Vagina Monologues with Punch and Judy (balancing things out for the OP's approval)

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:28

I'll just attend and sing Kumbaya or summat.

See, all those waves confused me terribly too. It's probably me feeble female brain wots overloaded, but I can ask DH when he comes home.

Pagwatch · 28/05/2014 23:28

The OP isn't going to tell me, is she?

I have to go to bed drunk assuming it was a pile of horse shit and that there are no random feminist events going on without me.

Well that's an unexpected turn of events and no mistake.

WillieWaggledagger · 28/05/2014 23:28

INANE – International Academy of Nursing Editors

i'm sure they're very relevant as nursing editors go!

PacificDogwood · 28/05/2014 23:29

FFS!!
That's genius Grin

ThatBloodyWoman · 28/05/2014 23:29

I could bring the Brownies to sing ging gang goolie goolie goolie goolie watcha.....
