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.

Morning how was everyone's feministing sleep?

I had a nightmare that resulted in me waking the house with a blood curdling scream! I'm pretty sure though it was a feminist response to patriarchy. So it must have been a feminist act. I've now had a shower with lots of lovely lady products that have made me feel all empowered. Tis great! Two pieces of world changing already today

I snored like a big fat man in order to ensure Equality.

Then I made the children make their own breakfasts like every day so I wasn't oppressed.

Hurrah!

Well I am lying in bed with eldest DS watching CBeebies. How much more feministy can you get? Younger DS is sleeping - dreaming of infiltrating the patriarchy and crushing or from the inside no doubt (he's 5 mnths old - but ambitious).

I had a row with dh over lunch boxes this morning.

That's the sort of thing that give feminism a bad name.

Well I'm reading the feminism topic whilst drinking feministy coffee at work (which in itself is a feminist statment and has fuck all to do at all with paying of any household bills).

I'm introducing DD to concepts of patriachal power within heteromonogamous relationship structures by watching Ms Piggy singing "what now my love" on the muppets dvd. I'm also drinking a feminist cup of tea. oOooh Candice Bergen has just turned up (on the dvd, not in real life) and is doing a skit on how womens work is never done and has just attacked a redneck muppet with a shotgun

In other news, reports are coming in that some feminists had some fun on a MumsNet thread last night. Don't they know this is the sort of thing that gives feminism a bad name?

No if they chose to have fun then its a feminist choice. Cause feminism is all about choices isn't it

AAAARRRRGGGHHH!

I have feministly taken my children to their various (sadly probably non-feminist) educational establishments and I am now having a feminist cup of tea with an even more feminist KitKat.

After this thread I may feministly invite my toyboy over later. Is it more feminist if said toyboy (who has previously declared feminism to be definct ) started a conversation last night about how it was silly for anti-rape campaigns to be aimed at women, why had no-one thought to aim them at men?! I nearly fell off my chair in surprise.

For Comrade

(though it's kind of lost its punch now due to the time lag)

I've just consumed a feminist chocolate truffle made by a (probably feminist) female colleague, 'Cos, as a feminist, I'm worth it.

Ooh, Mooncup, you've given me an idea. We could start our own T-shirt range with feministy slogans on a la that well-known feminist champion L'Oreal:

"I ate a chocolate muffin - because I'm worth it"

Sleep, Messy?!? REAL feminists don't sleep. We spend all night being woken up by small snotty nosed feminists who despite being only four weeks old have worked out a brilliant way to smash the patriarchy except they can't talk so they can't explain it to us.

Then we cry a few feminist tears and make our poor toyboys take the tiny feminist out in his pram so we can go back to bed.

But we can't sleep, due to having imbibed too much feminist caffeine.

Aaaaaarggghhhhh!!!!

I've been to Tesco and bought a food processor, but it's OK because I'll be mostly making feminist cake with it. After the toyboy shows me how to work it as the instructions are too hard for my fwuffy brain

Sunshine :o

I've just slopped my lunch down my t-shirt, this is a feminist act even though it was an accident.

I've been scoffing Peanut (harking back to the old nickname...) Feministy M & M's. It's the eating woman's Dworkin.

I'm also watching Herbie; Feministly Loaded. And about to do the feministing housework. Whilst listening to some feministing emo music. And singing in the most feminist manner possibly.

Wait, what... Wilson, you read the instructions?

Why would anyone do that?

I have just eaten some feminist flapjack. It really was, DP made it...although he doesn't self-identify as a feminist...

Oooh can I play? My toyboy DH is feministly on his feministy spring break, and last night declared his feminist intent to keep demonhellspawn feministintraining DS home from daycare and feministly take him to a feminist toddler playdate in the feminist park, as it will be a feministly balmy 24 degrees here later today.

I stupidly feministly said this was a nice idea even though I'm fucking feministly working from home today.
feministintraining DS has been a clinging whining monster all morning so I feministly took him to the feminist swings down the road, where my hyper-butch but nonetheless feministly adorable dog did a massive feminist shit and then feministly chewed a stick while feministintraining DS ran around picking up rubbish and feministly trying to eat it while I feminstly listened to The Rachel Maddow Show on my ipod and tried not go to insane.

After an hour of feministly excercising my feminist dog and feministintraining demonspawn son, I feministly returned them to my H, feministly ordered them all out of the house, and am now feministly staring at a pile of marking, while drinking my second cup of very feminist tea.

Hurrah for the revolution!

oh, and while I was out DH did feministly make some feminist oat-and-raisin biscuits to take to this playdate, and I suppose he did feministly leave me two of them, so I might feministly forgive him.
