to believe Santa Claus is a standard bearer for the patriarchy

[derxa]

DS's friend a twenty something male) is an elf at Christmas grotto. There are other elves one of whom is an older woman. Santa didn't turn up one day so DS's friend had to be padded up to play Santa. Why not the woman elf? Also DS's friend has been made chief elf over her and she is furious.

Because Santa IS a man

read this while trying to distract self from wanting to vom for the 10th time this morning- thanks!!!

I clicked on this thread thinking it was on the feminism board and I was thinking 'what the check are the extreme Muppets on now'*

Here,have a biscuit

• Disclaimer: I know not all feminists are extreme but some are clearly stark racing bonkers and opinions on what feminism is differ.

My phone is also clearly stark raving bonkers.

That should've been heck and raving,resoectively!

I did the same TripTrap

for you op...

Do you also all take a stand against Stockings, which is the ultimate symbol of the Patriarchy, having to have a stocking filled with enough to marry your DD off?

I actually don't do Stockings.

If you want a discussion on how the Christian/Catholic Churches ignored and held back Women from being high up in Religious terms and how they destroyed early religious shrines and Churches to Mary Magdalene & Co, it's too heavy for a Saturday morning.

I thought it was a funny thread, is it meant to be serious?

Head elf envy fab

It was meant to be funny but you still have to ask why Santa is a man.

At least he had to be padded up.

Imagine if they said to your friend, "You can be Santa, to save us the padding"

I do feel sorry for the woman because she has been a loyal elf for years. Unfortunately she has a very miserable face.

Because St Nick was a man and he is father christmas well thats who it stems from

I'm not asking, it's a centuries old tradition, they hadn't heard of FWR back in the day.

Because some people are men and some people are women.

I know that's a highly complex idea and far too much for a Saturday morning, but there you go!

Miserable face on an elf , poor kids standing in the line will get it in the neck then when they're tired and pissed off at waiting.

Perhaps they should have had a CIS Santa or a trans Santa?

Miserable elf LOL tbh id rather see a slightly misery faced female elf than the sexy elves we had in our town centre last christmas teeny shorts while the bpy elves had trousers on

Boy*

I'm having images of Buddy in Elf now - 'he's an angry elf'

MrsJayy we had sexy elves here before too, I remember exes jaw dropping while he stood gawping once

Worra Don't start the trans/cis thing!
