just saw this on FB with over 20 'likes" so far. AM completely aghast

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree"

words bloody fail me. this was posted by a woman.

Sound like some poor sex-shamed woman.
"Keep you hand on your ha-penny, or no man will want you..."

Yuk,yuk, yuk.

never really seen where the crap about it being OK for lads to "sow their wild oats" while women were "sluts" came from.

I've been eternally grateful for the experienced young woman who patiently ensured my competence. My kids DS and DD were told to ensure that their partners enjoyed it, and ensured that they did to. Fortunately, I've never heard any details, although they both seem to attract nice young people and stick with them for a reasonable time.

This quote is very popular unfortunately. Many educated women I know have it on their facebook profile. It's revolting [hsad]

Yes Boer, she is highly educated. One of my worst FB offenders for peddling this sort of shite is a doctor on Harley Street

Tell her the ripest apples get picked first. Some apples get left on the tree and never ripen, but just go rotten and get eaten, slowly, from the inside out by worms. Such rubbish deserves a rubbish response.

I'm on Pinterest and someone I follow has pinned these gems;

Act like a Lady...Think Like a Boss

Your clothes should be tight enough to show you're a woman, but loose enough to show you're a lady

Treat your body like a temple, not a playground

Dear Girls, dressing immodestly is like rolling around in manure. Yes, you'll get attention, but mostly from pigs. Sincerely, Real Men

That last one is seriously vile. So much slut-shaming fuckery on Pinterest.

She has repinned some stuff from my Feminism board though

This was on the fb of an adult you say? It sounds like an aesops fable for fuckwits.

Facebook is a seriously naff place.

Facebook is a magnet for vacuous, self-absorbed look-at-me types, who love 'drinking vino with the girleez', declaring to the world how much they love their offspring and who they are voting for on Britain's Got the X-Factor on Ice. What do you honestly expect to read on there other than mindless drivel?

Jesus, I must be rotten and easy. I met DH at 20 .

What an awful analogy in so, so many ways.
