This is something like the fourth pub chat thread - please pull up a chair at the bar. Everyone welcome. Smile

Old thread is here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/1920422-The-Feminist-Pub-continued?

But it's pretty much full so welcome in.

Oh, I have encounted bitches of both sexes in my time - some of them even were very nice lady dogs Grin.
I have also threatened far more often by men, but also sometimes by women, in my line of work.
The only person who every threatened me with "I know where you live you cunt' was, of course a man Hmm.

Prosecco, yum, don't mind if I do.
Hello, Sauce Smile

PacificDogwood · 17/01/2014 19:31

Oh christ on a bike, must proofread, the above makes hardly any sense at all:
I have also been threatened...

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 17/01/2014 19:51

Actually, it's possible definite that I have been both uptight and bitchy to trolls on certain other threads Grin

(Buffy - my dog is 8 - and has improved so much I hardly dare believe it. 2 days of the drugs and he's like his old self Smile )

PacificDogwood · 17/01/2014 20:51

Aw, lovely news about your mutt, Sabrina Smile.

PacificDogwood · 17/01/2014 20:53

What do you think of this analogy?.
I think I might use it the next time I am confronted with some rape apologist shit Grin

PenguinsDontEatKale · 17/01/2014 21:02

Good news about your dog Sabrina. Although I am very confused and for a minute thought his name was Buffy. And I'm not even allowed to drink at the moment!

Grin Buffy.

In fairness, it would make quite a cute name for a dog.

Hi Little

More importantly Buffy - does this mean you are missing dinner to MN if part of the mission was food related. I am quite capable of ignoring family, but not food!

That's just mean!

Are you still on that Page 3 thread? I wandered in, concluded that that OP was not interested in a debate (and read rather like someone possibly on a mission from another site), read LRD's mad comment about celery and left smartish!

CaptainHindsight · 17/01/2014 21:16

I've had a few Wine already all those tits made me thirsty

Hope I can sit my arse down and provide absolutely no intelligent input what so ever Grin

PacificDogwood · 17/01/2014 21:17

A Page 3 thread? Debate?

Hmm

Nope, sorry, that just does not compute.
Wine

SinisterSal · 17/01/2014 21:19

thta page 3 thread... I just read one random page. I am going go try and not get wound up this evening so that's enough .

Hi Littlelime lemme buy you a drink! Wine

At the pub yesterday one of my colleagues mentioned the Bechdel test and just assumed that I knew what it was.

That made me happy.

CaptainHindsight · 17/01/2014 21:30

Sit on my laurels then Buffy?

Sorry to hear you are in pain, ice is for drinks only! Hope the painkillers start to kick in with a vengeance.

I've just bought The Female Eunuch for 99p - any thoughts?

It's my first foray into Feminist literature, I read the odd blog and a lot of articles but never a whole book on feminism. Guess I have to start somewhere.

PenguinsDontEatKale · 17/01/2014 21:33

I can never, ever, get on with Greer. I've tried a few times, but she always loses me when she starts waffling about menstrual blood.

I am an intellectual lightweight though!
