Feminist Pub XX - may the summer rains wash the patriarchy down the plughole

[NoTechnologicalBreakdown]

Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

[erinaceus]

I had one glass of wine last night.

No hangover here, either. The people who I was with respected my choices to drink imbibe at my discretion. I like these people even though they drive me nuts sometimes.

Today it is raining here.

[erinaceus]

drink imbibe? I meant one or the other. Take your pick.

[FreshwaterSelkie]

Thank you myown and Tei

I think we've got another MRA trawling for attention and possibly wank fodder today. Suggest ignoring, though I made the mistake of engaging with it on the patriarchy thread before I twigged.

They're SO tiresome. And yet always so convinced that they're INTERESTING and RIGHT and the first men ever to be so CLEVER and INCISIVE. Wankbadgers.

[NeverEverAnythingEver]

I feel like I have chopped down the whole garden, but in fact I've only done a little corner... WIBU to go and employ a proper gardener?

[erinaceus]

NeverEverAnythingEver WIBU to go and employ a proper gardener?

Can you afford to employ a gardner? If so, then go right ahead, YANBU at all.

[erinaceus]

Aah, Friday.

Hello everybody. I am drinking a nutritious and comforting beverage today.

Can I offer anybody else a drink?

[NeverEverAnythingEver]

I'm going to have a glass of wine while washing up.

I haven't had any luck finding a gardener ...

[Felascloak]

I'm on the gin. Not sure feminism is doing me any favours today. I have the rage

[erinaceus]

Never I have heard it suggested that people who wish they had a garden get matched with people who have gardens that need to be gardened, a bit like Borrow My Doggy.

I like this idea.

Rage away, Felas, rage away. I wave my angry fist at the patriarchy.

[NeverEverAnythingEver]

That sounds like a great idea. I did hear once on the radio about this farmer who goes and graze her sheep in people's garden as lawnmower...

[erinaceus]

Yes. In some areas, for example urban areas where few properties have their own garden, there is a real shortage of allotments and a long waiting list to get one. So I think that whilst the sheep might have a way to travel, the whole thing could be pulled off somehow.

[NeverEverAnythingEver]

Good morning all!

I still haven't had any luck finding a gardener. But I'm embracing the wilderness look and planted bulbs instead. It's finally rained and I think it might be time for grass seeds too. And we want a tub of bamboo...

But I need to do some work first!!!

[erinaceus]

Sounds lovely Never

I do not garden, as a rule, but I will water the pot plants, as long as I remember to do so.

I usually work somewhere with a lot of green space and outside space. Today I am working from an industrial estate. It is funny how I do not realize how much I value being able to look out of the window, until I am sat for hours in a windowless room.

[JacquettaWoodville]

BOOM!!!!

[JacquettaWoodville]

:-P

[Xenophile]

[erinaceus]

doe!

[NeverEverAnythingEver]

Last day before school. We'll do something ... But I also have lots of work to do ...

[JacquettaWoodville]

Zzz should go to bed

[Felascloak]

I got unreasonably protective of the board the other day after a poster said there is no proper feminism on MN any more because we don't discuss things like the gender pay gap. So I'm trying an ex pimento due to a topical news item. Let's see how many people actually want to discuss the gender pay gap 😁

[Felascloak]

Why the fuck does my autocorrect think ex pimento is more likely than experiment? It's an anti science backlash I tell you!

Jacquetta what have you been up to?

[JacquettaWoodville]

Back and forth across the country trying to combine family and work. Zzz!
