I have an adult blog on tumblr and I post adult content. I follow other blogs like this which will openly post porn etc. Thats why I followed them. But, a lot of the time, they post things such as
"I hate men! Men are all pigs and rapists! Kill all men! I am a feminist!"
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't feminism all about equality? why are they like this?
I come home to a DP who treats me like a princess. If I say no, it's no. He'll open a door for me and all that crap (one thing these tumblr feminists don't like, is they HATE men doing ANYTHING for them. I don't understand why.) He is NOT a rapist, a pig, he can be an idiot but thats why we love our DPs. Apparently I am a shit woman for having a male P.
I got a compliment from some guy in the street saying I looked good on a night out. he asked me if I had a boyfriend and I said yes I do, so he said ah man cool have a good night then walked off and congratulated my partner for having me! According to tumblr feminists, he raped me just by looking/talking to me. Anyone want to tell me why?
These people think that if you are transgender (FtM) you are just as bad as a man because you identify as a man.
And also, these people like to make words up for themselves. Like, "I am a transfat feminist who is schizophrenic and has PTSD, I am triggered by anything to do with fattism and the colour Teal."
are these people serious?
Like, I'm all for equality. I just want everyone to be equal but under no circumstances can I see these girls/women to be feminists when they don't want men, they hate and want to kill men and all transgendered men and bring their sons up as girls.
This is not feminism is it?
Are they being serious?
It winds me. Anyone who can not wind me and still answer this OP will get a Cake & Brew Grin

Ok.... a question only Buffy would know.....

Are you reasonable, even when you have toothache, when having to deal with racist ideologues with no clue about class analyses?

My (feminist) DP has a tumblr, this is the absolute truth.

DP doesn't hate men, think they're all rapists, think transgender people are anything other than what they identify as themselves, or want to raise our sons as girls.

Oh, and he posts algorithms on his! Grin

(did I mention tumblr can be a little bit boring?)

Someone once told me to attend a fancy dress party with a tray of fake canapes, a crucifix and a pointy stick and tell everyone I was Buffet the Vampire Slayer.


As you were...

Buffy, no deletions. You are indeed the Buffy we know.

SGB, would you have been very reasonable in your buffeting?

I believe you, Buffy.

Um, sounds familiar, AF. Captain Jack?

He opens doors for you? Would you be stuck in the toilet forever if he wasn't waiting outside to turn the door-handle? What is it with anti-feminists and MRA's and door holding? I see it all the time... 'Oh, some dude let a door shut in your face? That's what you get for wanting equal pay bitch! if you'd stayed as human property you'd get DOORS opened for you. That's what you're missing out on!'

I knew Buffy's middle name without googling too, but I am not Buffy. Or Spartacus.

I am a very colour-specific signature instruction, which is extremely boring but not as boring as bits of tumblr

I am fond of both "vexatious" and "capricious". I may spend today being capriciously vexatious. So there.

I used to work with a man who opened doors for me. Fine, that's just politeness, if he went through first.

However, he also refused to enter doors I was holding open for him. Even if I was inside, holding an inward-opening door, and he was outside.

The resulting skirmishing, banging of door on elbows, leaning over at ridiculous angles with arm outstretched to keep the sodding thing from banging in his face while I preserved his 'gentlemanhood' was beyond ludicrous.

I broke the standoff by refusing to budge one day. It took a good five minutes of 'No you', 'No, you', 'No, really, YOU.' Then he got pissed off with me when forced to give in.

I'd happily miss out on that shit.

SingingSilver, I know! Why is it that they don't bang on about laying capes over puddles for us to walk over?

Come to think of it NO ONE has ever done that for me Angry Now that is something I would be willing to give up my sexual, political, economic and intellectual rights for ....

Oh Adam I have been there done that, feel the pain. The confusion on their faces as you open the door for them is intriguing, it's as if they are wrestling with some inner moral dilemma "if I walk through this door now will I have to hand my balls back?"

It's just a door FFS!

Well, sameboat, capes + puddles was in the Middle Ages, when men were really men.

That's what happens when feminists take over and emasculate men. You start whingeing about women being burned at the stake for imaginary crimes, and suddenly wouldn't you know it, you've got wet ankles.

Think on.

I am disappointed to learn that LRD is not a real dragon but am strangely reassured about AF's status. There are still things you can rely on on the interweb. Grin

I know about the opening door thing! What is it about me that disqualify me from holding doors open for people? >

And I've never walked on capes. Wouldn't it be slippery? I think I'll risk a wet ankle. Would it rude to refuse? But hang on - I've got waterproof shoes and boots! Yeah! Dilemma over. See - technology is the answer.

As a child I got locked in the loo twice. It's never happened to me as an adult though.
