SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 10:28

This should have a warning! I am going to have nightmares about that pictureShock
What's up with it's faceShock

HBStowe · 11/04/2019 10:31

Kindness is obviously the ultimate goal of feminism dontcha know

Bezalelle · 11/04/2019 10:35

Why does it have the face of a demented cat?? Horrifying.

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 10:37

What's up with it's face

I think it has the head of a Bratz doll.

C’mon though. It’s totes how we should feminist, yah?

Is it a school project? I'd probably have been quite proud of that aged 13.

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 10:42

I don’t think so Deadly. I found it on Twitter but I think it came from a fully grown up Facebook group.

ThatDeadlyJetty · 11/04/2019 10:43

OK, not the line about the jiggling butt. Obviously by age 13 I was already consumed with shame about my developing body.

TwinsTrollsAndHunz · 11/04/2019 10:45

It has a butt for ‘jiggling’.

YAY! Feminism

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 10:49

Rightly so Deadly. We should feel both ashamed by our bodies AND empowered enough to let men do as they wish with them.

I'm sure I saw some irony knocking around on MN a few months ago, has it been put into storage somewhere?

HavelockVetinari · 11/04/2019 11:33

A jiggling fucking bottom?! What's feminist about that?? And what's that bollocks about "giving people the benefit of the doubt"? Yeah, no. That shit is what gets women killed.

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 11:35

long - the unicorn isn’t, sadly, ironic.

It is a Very Serious Feminist, espousing all that is important to women.

Seriously. It’s not ironic. It’s from the Women You Should Know Facebook site.

Christ on a bike, Smile. My apologies. This is Kardashian type feminism is it? I have no words.

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 11:54

I know, long - it’s unbelievable isn’t it?

OP posts:
longwayoff · 11/04/2019 12:14

It certainly is. Perhaps her boyfriend designed it Confused

DioneTheDiabolist · 11/04/2019 12:33

Not my cup of tea, but some woman did it and is proud of it. This feminist has no desire to piss in that feminist's cornflakes.

I'm not sure what your AIBU is OP, but I think Y probably ABU.

CoffeeMilkNoSugar · 11/04/2019 12:50

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Nope.

How fucking awful.

If this is feminism, then feminism is dead.

recrudescence · 11/04/2019 12:55

The feminist unicorn swore! Naughty.

SmileEachDay · 11/04/2019 13:02

This feminist does not think that unicorn is a feminist. In fact, this feminist thinks that unicorn is peddling some deeply damaging messages about how to be a girl/woman.

I'm not sure what your AIBU is OP, but I think Y probably ABU

It’s more of an ITUBU (Is this unicorn being unreasonable)

HBStowe · 11/04/2019 13:10

Christ I assumed it was a joke. It’s so explicitly unfeminist I thought that was the point.

Also, we don’t have to take the extremely vapid stance that just because a woman does something we all have to be proud and supportive in the name of feminism. Women do things that are actively harmful to other women all the time. It’s ok to call that shit out.

DioneTheDiabolist · 11/04/2019 13:16

Maim misogyny.
Stomp on sexism.
Poke injustice.
Stare down predatory behaviour.
Sniff out discrimination.

What is deeply damaging to women or feminism about these messages?

Alsohuman · 11/04/2019 13:19

It’s a fucking joke, people. You’re all confirming the propaganda that feminists have no sense of humour.

InspectorClouseauMNdivision · 11/04/2019 13:21

Well. That jome is selling for 40 quid per jumper
