.......the man who played the "I am a feminist" card and who she fell for like a ton of bricks before he turned out to be a arsehole?

They are in the same circle of friends, and she is mostly over him so she can be amused at having picked his name out of the hat. But she doesn't want to waste the opportunity.

You would have to be careful the WEP style donations couldn't be used to show future girls friends "see what a feminist i am, these are the style of present people give me."

She still hasn't decided but she's asked me to thank you all for all the ideas. We've had such a laugh together and it's given her and me a real boost.

On a serious note- isn't it depressing that men are doing this? It's not the first time I've seen it happen- so cynical and manipulative.

Give him chlamydia

@Passive: Hmm, right, I didn't consider that. Maybe adopting a termite for him would be better.
Or add a passage on the donation certificate (if you print it out yourself) where it says in which ways he is not actually a feminist. Small print so he doesn't notice immediately, maybe.

@Bertrand: Yes, it is annoying. But on the other hand, if you pay no attention to what they say, only to what they do, you can rather easily weed out the liars. In my experience, at least.

@Catz: I don't know ... plushy microbes are just too cute to give to assholes. (The little rhinovirus with santa hat is adorable!) And giving him real chlamydia is out of the question.

Just in case anyone ever needs a similar present, here!

poo head game?

Oooch, that's perfect, Bertrand. Though maybe it is too much of a compliment for some dudes to name a cockroach after them. They're very interesting little animals.

I'd get him one of those 'This is what a feminist looks like' t-shirts, you know Cumberbatch had one recently.
