What isn't a feminist issue?

[Jackieharris]

Inspired a bit by another thread but it seems like a frequent occurence that non feminists say that feminists say everything is a feminist issue.

Since I 'took the red pill'/whatever I do see everything as a feminist issue so I'm perplexed at what these non-feminist issues are?

It seems to me that one of the first things you realise as a feminist is how all pervasive patriarchy is.

I don't think anything's exempt from it.

Was it Julie Burchill who wrote an article on how stupid is the idea that having a bath is pampering?

Page 2 and no one has mentioned celery yet…..

why it is that some seeds only germinate when you give up on them in disgust and abandon them in the corner of the garden only to find them a month later looking like baby triffids

I have to disagree with baths, I once mentioned on here that my DH was having a bath and a poster absolutely flamed him for being too feminine, not a 'real man' and told me he was gay and I'm just his beard so I should LTB before he left me for a bloke.

Candy crush is not a feminist issue

Yeah, love Burchill on pampering. A moment of rare coherence.

"Gardener's World. No, because there's never been a female presenter"

Carol Klein's a bloke

Julie is like a broken clock - she will be right twice a day ( well not that often but occasionally) She was spot on about the fawning over John Peel.

whether to process my own payroll monthly or weekly

ROFL, my DH has baths all the time, and most definitely pampers. Plus he likes lamps.

I suspect Candy Crush is a feminist issue because it makes a lot of men very rich. How many women work for that organisation?

Okay I give in, everything is a feminist issue

How many women have been inside a barber? Having recently taken my children to the barber for the first time I realise men "pamper" - they just don't admit to doing it. "Pampering" definitely not a feminist issue (anymore).

You are powerless to resist

Cadbury's creme eggs- they are an everyone issue because now Cadbury's has been bought out they are shit.

Taking a shit isn't a feminist issue. We all do it. Though one of the women at work has never been able to fart in front of her DP or shit in the house when he's in without being very uncomfortable. She's currently ttc, I told her giving birth would get her over her issue wince a lot of women fart or shit themselves during.

I think pampering still is - there are different kinds of pampering aimed at men and women. It's not assumed that men want to go on pampering weekends and sold to them like some gigantic treat, they get exciting things like paintballing and go karting.

Yes taking a shit is a feminist issue. I still remember several long threads about male partners disappearing to take a very long shit whenever difficult childcare tasks needed to be done.

lucycant I wouldn't say that's an issue with taking a shit, that's an issue with childcare and partners being shits- it could easily be any other excuse, my Dsis' exes excuse was that he just had to go and check the oil/water in the car or to call work.

I'm still trying to think what is not a feminist issue. Hmm.

Buffy Leave sequences alone. I like sequences. I think sequences are not a feminist issue.

There's been many threads on mumsnet about people who aren't able to take a shit anywhere but their house. Personally, I'm a shit outside the home mum rather than a shit at home mum. Let's not turn this into a bunfight though.

Is that because you are the one who has to clean the toilet thatstoast?
