......that talks about misogyny gets derailed in exactly the same way. Coincidence?

S'true.

I'm really bad at mathsy stuff and my DH can't change a nappy, bless him, so it proves we are hardwired to be good at different things.

Having a penis does obstruct a man's vision, completely incapacitating him in his ability to see any mess, crumbs, dust etc.

Women are not similarly encumbered.

My husband has to pretend that he doesn't use porn and pretend that he likes to bake cakes because I am oppressing his masculinity with my horrible feminist agenda .

Of course when he's at work, he's obviously commenting on the size of the page 3 girl's nipples and arranging trips to the local strip club, 'cos he's a real red blooded man you see and they can't help it.

You are all just jealous.

JustAHolyFool · 24/01/2013 18:51

When are you all going to stop telling women what they can do with their bodies?

I like shaving my pubes, even though I get an itchy rash.

Chubfuddler · 24/01/2013 18:55

Shouldn't you all be cooking your husbands dinner?

BelaLugosisShed · 24/01/2013 18:55

But the bald, plucked chicken look is sooooo sexy, a few unsightly ingrowing hairs with associated yellow pus filled spots is worth it 'cuz it's what men really like. Wink

DoubleYew · 24/01/2013 18:57

You are all such selfish middle classers worrying about your own lives. Do you know there are poor people, some of whom are women, who live in other countries? I bet you've never even thought of that. I can tell that not one of you cares about them. You should stop discussing anything else and focus all your time and energy on sorting out the third world.

BelaLugosisShed · 24/01/2013 18:57

My DH has let me sit down with the laptop because he's in the kitchen doing important man stuff, you know, proper cooking that women can't get their pretty little heads around.
If I'm lucky, he'll let me make him a cup of tea when he's finished.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 24/01/2013 18:57

I've been thinking about this thread and have to ask: why are any of you even posting here? Shouldn't you all be cooking dinner and bathing babies, leaving your DH to use the internet? I mean, you do realise knowing how to use technology is distinctly unfeminine?

Of course, I am not typing this - I'd break my nails on the keys - DH does it for me. In fact, he formulates all my opinions; I just nod, agree and continue to strain the cabbage.

Chubfuddler · 24/01/2013 18:58

That's okay then bela. Carry on. But only because he said you could.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 24/01/2013 19:04

I'm not interested in all this boring talk about feminism. I only hang around here to tell you the errors of your ways. But it is very boring, so I think you should all talk about another topic of my choice.

I'll let you know what that topic is when I develop some interests outside of baiting feminists online.

I made a dirndl in needlework circa 1982

AnnieLobeseder · 24/01/2013 19:06

I used to be a feminist, but then my DH got me some of those Bic for Women pens, in sparkly pink, for my birthday (this is true, the stupid brave man actually did. He thought is was hilarious!) and I saw how we women need to have our own smaller pink versions of everything for the world to be okay. Our clitoris is even a smaller pinker penis, is it not? It is al nature intended. So feminists need to surround themselves with small pink things, and suddenly they will feel better about everything.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 24/01/2013 19:08

I feel there's a joke to be made about MRAs and small pink things, but it wouldn't be appropriate to make it.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 24/01/2013 19:10

Anyone else dying to know what LRD's jokes is?

garlicblocks · 24/01/2013 19:10

You are right, Annie :)

I'm going to put the next part in another post, as it's a direct C&P from A Current Thread and I'm not sure if that's allowed ...

garlicblocks · 24/01/2013 19:11

I agree that the difference in how beauty is noticeded and treated (both good and bad) is very much a primal, genetic thing. Men, particularly, are visual creatures. And however much we complicate our days with thoughts and deeds that do not relate to procreation, ultimately, our genes want us to procreate.

You can't really evolve past that, can you? However sophisticated our lives are beyond simply surviving, however sharp our intelligence, we all have basic instincts.

which makes me sound like an elderly handmaiden
Oh god, they're on about handmaidens again.....

seeker · 24/01/2013 19:12

I just think it's more hygenic to shave my pubes. It's nothing to do with sex- I just feel cleaner. I think it's ewwwww to have pubic hair that gets all covered with blood and pee...............

I got a telling off from mnhq last week for making a comment about tiny pink things and a deletion LRD

God I read your second post before your guest and thought you were serious for a mo

garlicblocks · 24/01/2013 19:13

... So, as I keep telling you all, Women Have Got It Wrong. If you want a seat on the board of Serco or to be Prime Minister, all you need to do is be as beautiful as you are and stroke your thighs suggestively :)

The world's your oyster. Women have know this through the ages; look at Helen Of Troy and Cleopatra, for example. Feminism seems to have forgotten the Power Of Feminine Mystique!

HTH!

I was going to post, but DH needs the laptop.
