Coworker taking feminism back 100 years

A coworker of mine is using her body to get where she wants and has qualms about it. She has quickly received two promotions and I fear they have been gained by inappropriate means. She wears these tight pants where you can see the outline of her labia. I don't know how to address this or knock some sense into her without coming off as jealous or threatened. It's like, cover your tits and use your brain even if it means struggling like the rest of us. Just because you have a fancy vergina doesn't mean you can use it to get ahead of the rest of us who prefer to keep our legs closed.

Now if the colleague was tripped up by their labia , you can see how they'd end up flashing them round the office...

I have never needed to know the singular Yonic. Grin

Hey, maybe that's how feminism was set back 100 years? It tripped over the coworkers labia (labium, labiae) and was propelled back into the past?

TheEggityOddity · 24/05/2015 21:49

I get all my prermertions with my vergina. I hear you get two prermertions if you have a per-he-nis.

TheVermiciousKnid · 24/05/2015 21:53

So here we are, back in 1915. No votes for us, no internet. And it's all that beastly coworkher's fault.

It's all most dis-satisfactery. Sad

Look on the bright side: we may be too late to have prevented the Great War but at least we'll know what to avoid in 1939.

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 24/05/2015 22:32

Ooh. Can we have a 'would you execute a teenage Hitler ' discussion.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 24/05/2015 23:10

No, but I'd have a go at executing a post Mein Kampf one.

If you caught him in his teens you could give him a clip round the ear and tell him not to be so damn' stupid. And buy him a set of good quality oil paints. The pain-free way to change the course of history Smile

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 09:01

Ah yes. what a sensible feminist answer. Catch him in his teens and fix him.Grin Grin

This entire thread is insensitive. My vaginas are very pronounced and some people have a hard time finding pants that don't show off just a little bit. It's not like we can wear baggy sweat pants to work. Don't judge someone over something they can't control.

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 14:10

You have more than one vergina and it is externally pronounced?Shock

Bushmom · 25/05/2015 14:14

You can joke all you want, but it's quite rude to make light of a very serious issue I was trying to make a point on.

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 14:22

Hmm Have you read this thread. And you chose your sensitive user name why? And suggested on another thread that we all bump vaginas.

Why, forgive my cynicism.Hmm

Bushmom · 25/05/2015 14:24

Why even come here if you aren't trying to empower other women and instead resort to trying to tear them down? Get out of here with that nonsense. There is no reason for that.

Isn't the weather awful for a bank holiday? It must be really dull for all those school children stuck indoors.

Bushmom · 25/05/2015 14:50

Haha something must have this Penguin person bored! Maybe it is the weather.

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 14:50

It's ok here. Chilly but dry.

Isn't it memorial weekend in the States too?

TheVermiciousKnid · 25/05/2015 14:55

It's not just the weather that's dull.

YonicScrewdriver · 25/05/2015 14:55

It's really nice where I am. Which is Abroad.

Bushmom · 25/05/2015 14:56

Lucky!

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 14:57

That is showing off Yonic.

PenguinsandtheTantrumofDoom · 25/05/2015 14:58

Do you have Wine and a book too? If so I may weep.
