AIBU to think that scoffing lemon drizzle cake and shagging toyboys is a feminist act?

[BasilFoulTea]

Because I enjoy doing both and I'm a self-declared feminist, so it must be, right?

Or is that just a fucking stupid way to look at the world?

Because just because you think you're a feminist and you like doing something, that doesn't mean that every single thing you ever do, from eating cornflakes to dancing the tango, is feminist.

It's lacking in critical thinking and common sense, to think it is.

IMO.

I made feminist chocolate cake, and then went out leaving my husband to wash all the bowls etc. I consider this a feminist act of extreme feminist proportions. That'll teach DH .... something.

Lemon drizzle cake may be all well and good for you, but stop OPPRESSING those of who can't stand it, and actively prefer eating Ryvitas and cream cheese. Yes, you can be a feminist and eat Ryvita! We aren't silly weak brainwashed by the patriarchy cracker fiends...

Ryvita, with Philadelphia & low sugar jam. Cheat's cheesecake. Nearly cake.

Well that's as maybe Basil, but light-hearted suggestive jollity is very definitely not a feminist act.

I am watching 'She-wolves' and eating no cake at all

Ryvitas? Low sugar Jam? No cake AT ALL?!!

Handmaidens, all of you

Have just eaten loads of galaxy in avery feminist way

Will now feminstly brush teeth

And then I'm off to have a feminist snooze.

I have drunk wine, lovely red wine...and now I might have some more

I have not more red wine

I may pour myself a glass of absent DHs white in a box.

In a feminist way

Careful Basil, else you'll be judged as Prim. Yes: PRIM.

And it's a bloody nightmare finding pearls to clutch, and pussybow blouses to don, and half moon spectacles to blink over...

Yay sex whoop! Sex is the bestest way to be a feminist! Yay whoop.

I have just done an hour and a half of ironing as a feminist statement.

That the sort of thing you mean?

I'm off to make a feministy cup mug of hot chocolate, in my feministy Doctor Who mug, and read Catching Fire in a very feminist manner, then go to feministing sleep...

'feministing sleep'

Love it!

I'm a comic feminist genius.

It's totally anti-feminist to eat cake without first making sure that the whole sisterhood have access to equal cake. Some poor feminists have NO CAKE. NONE. WOE.

Also, sometimes men don't get cake Poor menz.

I'm going to sleep now. Obviously my dreams will include in an anti feminist backlash a fluffy, lacy covered strap in the shape of dark fluffy chocolate in which I consume in a feminist empowering way, without any abuse whatsoever. I'm in control. Yay.

And he's younger, so much younger he could be my son. Yay! Empowering or wot? Sex. Yay. SEXXXay.

cake for the menz apparently

Empowerfulizing feministy cake - innit

Although I prefer this

HAHA!

Sunshine, you have made my day...

May do a bake sale, for my local refuge, serving vagina cupcakes... ;)

For my wedding we served up many m&s chocolate cakes.

DH does the ironing in the house of SLTS :smug: You people have really missed the boat on feminism, everyone knows it's about enslaving men and making them do all the boring houseworky stuff.

WHY are you silly girls discussing cake? Surely you have better things to discuss? Why are you worrying about your middle class cake when you should be worrying about something more worthwhile like the lack of hot chocolate in third world countries? You and your cake, you don't know how lucky you are.

Also, I think of myself as a self declared feminist and I think this discussion of cake is really alienating other self declared feminists. It's too controversial. Bloody radfem feminazis.
