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.

Now watching The Feministly Hitch-hikers guide to the Feminist Galaxy.

Should we sing along?

"So long, and thanks for all the feminists...."

sorry, that was a bit offkey, wasn't it? My most feminist apologies.

DS has been off from nursery in an act of feminist defiance, with the chicken pox.

I've been subjected to The Feministly Hitch Hikers on a daily basis to cull his anguish at being cooped up, and reluctance to play with anything that requires more than 5 minutes of a feminist attention span.

We're now eating feminist spiderman candy sticks.

I am going for a feminist nap, because I am exhausted growing this feminist baby.

How feministing far along are you, SLTS?

I'm also taking a feminist nap, whilst DS is quiet. I know he'll wake me up in a feminist manner if he needs anything.

Grumpola please feel feministly free to give me more feminist details about your feminist 4 week old, because I am getting a bit feministly broody, and so details of froggy newborns and that wonderful smell would be feministly appreciated.

oh god that smell!

[feministly daydreams of another feminist baby]

My skirt's quite short today. That counts doesn't it? I'm pretty sure the suffragettes fought for that one.

The fact that you're even wearing a skirt makes it like a post-modern feministy statement you know!

I am currently swearing at the printer in a very feministy fashion. The fact that I am able to express myself thus means that there is no longer any need for feminism in the workplace.

No, it was bras that the suffragettes were interested in Alice, they burned them!

This feminist baby will join me fighting the patriarchy in 25 more weeks. Though if its like its siblings it'll want to hang in there longer.

The suffragettes were so ahead of their time, they burned bras a symbols of female oppression before the concept of bras as a symbol of female oppression had even been thought of. They may even have burned them before they were invented.

SLTS - if your baby is late it's clearly because he or she is taking a feminist stance on patriarchal notions of time!

Slts your baby will only be 5 weeks older than mine! Maybe we should agree they will marry, I'm pretty sure that would be feminist.

I thought the suffragettes invented bras so they'd look more sexaay and empowered

Oooh, can I play too? Feminist DD and I are sitting here feministly listening to the Ghostbusters theme and DD is feministly dancing to it.

I just feministly sung "C is for Cookie!" to DS while he danced around. His dancing was empowerful!

The Suffragettes didn't invent bras They invented perspex platform shoes. And thongs. And that farking ugly piece of tat on the thread that inspired this one. Oh yes ahead of their time.

I am currently crushing the patriachy by making goulash while DP acts as a footsoldier of the menarchy by putting the children to bed.

Well, I've just renamed my right knee, "The Patriarchy" because DS has just been sick all over it.

Later, I intend to smash the patriarchy by eating chocolate rich tea biscuits.

We can be feminist bump buddies Alice. Maybe suffragettes invented bras because they needed a symbol of female oppression to burn at a later date. That would make perfect sense.

I've only got feminist wotsits. I think I might be doing it wrong. Surely if I was doing it right there'd be cake?

I want feminist wotsits Actually I'd be happy with F4J wotsits if I'm honest. I mean the goulash was feministly delicious as was the feminist flapjack I had for pud but come on wotsits? Oh yes.

I dunno, dollymixtures. Aren't they a bit phallic to be truly feminist? Feminism 101 offers no help on phallic foodstuffs...

No, they're sex-positive feministy.

SEXAAAAAY WOTSITS!
