The Roots of Misogyny

[wukter]

Why is practically every human society across all times, places and cultures dominated by men?
I have read that War on Women article that MillyR linked to. It's chilling. Why is it everywhere?

I would be interested in your thoughts, or maybe there is actually a simple, widely accepted answer that I could be pointed to.

lol, thanks vesuvia... allow a girl a bit of artistic licence, will ya? i know perfectly well what she patented. lolol.

saf, i think anyone who can cite 'angry harry' as a credible source of information is in real trouble.

Did I say I was citing it as a credible source of information? It's just an opinion on the feminist movement which happens to be held by many people, including me.

Perhaps I should have linked articles from the Times, y'know, that well respected newspaper who have just told Clare Balding where to go.

no, because she's a troll, dittany.

actually, no, much as i don't want to get dragged in, i must respond to your last post, dp. if loads of people agree with angry harry it is because they are moronic beyond all redemption. i worry that they have the vote. he believes in CAVEMEN, ffs. truly moronic, you must see that... surely? there's so much to that article that is just rubbish, anyone with half a brain can see it, so to link to his ridiculous rants as being somehow credible and reflecting your own opinions... well i'm embarrassed for you.

but look how you have hijacked the thread and wrecked it for those of us who were enjoying it.

and look how you are still here despite having said yesterday that you would only come back for one post then leave. (never mind your promise to stick to music).

i think she believes some of it, dit, but because her form is so transparent by now, i think she is on a wind-up most of the time and that is her principal aim. i think she likes to think of us as smug boden types or hairy lesbians (yaaaaawn) and gets a bit of a hard-on from winding us all up and ruining otherwise pretty fascinating threads. so, a troll.

dittany, please take no notice of aitch.

And yes you're right, there are 1000's of people who think like me, infact my opinions are pretty tame in comparison to most, but it helps aitch and people like her to think I'm not real and just making it all up...I'm not sure what they're frightened of..

duuuuuuurr, i believe that you think what you're saying is smart, dp, it's just that your analysis is transparently factually incorrect and simple-minded. please note the fact that you never actually say anything, you just lob in obnoxious and nonsensical questions. as with the bnp, when you are required to expand your thoughts, you link to someone else's words.

and do i think there are thousands of simple-minded women out there who believe this shit? of course i do.

it just means feminism has more work to do, not less.

anyway, didn't you promise you'd go? (again)

and seeing as you have no intention of sticking to your word about the music threads, why don't you start a thread of your own about angry harry and how clever he is, and stop hijacking this one?

oh I see, you think only women who have degrees coming out of their ears have the right to an opinion? if someone can't type out posts worthy of the Lancett they are to be ignored? I'm so glad I'm not a pompous snob...I don't agree with most of what dittany says, but there's warmth & humanity about her..her posts are not about point scoring, whereas yours always seem to be..?

Ignoring would seem to be best. Aitch you will never succeed with dp, so perhaps best to leave her to it?

dittany...I was going to reply to you, but I've just seen the last post so I guess it will have to be another time..

Apologies for breathing prolesworth....I believe some non-feminists do it to stay alive...(how bloody dare they)

lol, yes, the sucking up while picking off another stage, well spotted riven.

i didn't say anything about degrees, dp. nick griffin has one from oxford, doesn't he?

and yes, yes, we should ignore. but let's face it, this thread is over. can anyone actually remember what the last good point was? points win to dp, yet again. i do wish she'd just piss off.

lol. there really should be a list.

Daftpunk, I believe you have two daughters and I'm pretty sure you would want them to be able to get on in life, the workplace and all that without anyone telling them they are not good enough.

Please can you now get off this thread and come and talk to me about football on the other thread instead?

DP it has been well noted now that your opinions have no purpose on this particular thread. you have said you will go. now please do it and leave the rest of us to discuss the OP.
