Suggestions for a feminist Godwin's Law.

[RM76]

I have only been on Mumsnet for a couple of days, but reading a few threads here leads me to believe that feminism needs an equivalent to Godwin's law, hopefully it would be another weapon in our armoury when faced with derailments on feminist issues.

A few triggers for this new law might be, for example:

Misandry.
Feminazi.
Hysterical women.
It happens to men too.
Porn's not bad because...
It's feminine empowerment.

Also what would we call it?

"men are more visual than women"

"I don't think women know what they want"

"I don't know why feminists want to over-complicate things"

hullygully, how dare you say that. It's outrageous.

Linerunner, I agree. I always think "I love women" is a surefire indication of a misogynist. I went off Howard Jacobson when I heard him on the radio respond to accusations of misogyny in his books with "How could I be a misogynist? I love women".

"You don't look like a feminist"

Oh I love that one Line, one of my faves.

Ditto:

"You don't sound like a..."

"I idn't know you were a..."

I'm a bloke, I'm not offended by the whateveritisoffendsyouwomen per se,

Hully, you've been let of the cellar then?

I don't do [insert choice if wax fanjo / wear high heels / go to lap dancing clubs / etc] because of male pressure! I do it because I like it!

you can't keep a good woman down (in the cellar) feministe

hully

grey they don't wax because they like it, they wax because it's hygienic- hairy fanjos are disgusting!

And, of course, the old kitchen joke.

If you check out any drumming videos featuring women on youtube, this is quite literally every other message, amongst much worse. Apparently I'm a man hater for wanting to play the drums!

The best Internet thread I have ever witnessed was of a girl in a drumming competition (she was awesome) all the usual oh so original kitchen jokes followed, but also the best Troll slap down I have ever seen:

Troll: What kind of a kitchen is that?

Troll killer: The kind where her dick is bigger than yours, maybe you should
make her a sandwich!

Made my year!

Sorry, kitchen 'joke'.

Hully so glad you're back!

"Feminists will be given their own break-away session at the conference."

This has to be a drinking game, surely?

It happens to men too... Drink!
Feminists have no sense of humour... DRINK!
I choose to be completely hairless because I feel cleaner that way... DRIIIINNNK

Oh, go on, then.

"Well you haven't convinced me, so there can't be much to it."

"feminism has been more of a curse than a blessing"

"feminism has screwed us over"

I see the professionally offended are out in force - mine's a double!

Troll: What kind of a kitchen is that?

Troll killer: The kind where her dick is bigger than yours, maybe you should
make her a sandwich!

Kaboom! :o:o:o:o:o That's a great comeback.

I love all the misogyny bingo quotes, they're brilliant.

'but feminism is about CHOICE so you can't tell women they can't choooose to be (insert awful surrendered female thing here)'

And bingo!
