Feminist Pub XXI - The Pub with No Name

[erinaceus]

Welcome, everybody.

Happy Friday.

It'd be a bit mean to make you sit outside with a bag of crisps.

Soft drinks only amy

In this weather I'd be quite happy sitting outside. Not with a coke though

Anyone fancy a . MN is harsh today

What's up mercy?

errol

We were allowed a drink and a pack of crisps...just a pack of crisps IS mean

I don't know where else to put this but I am actually feeling sick after reading this

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/pmqs-live-general-election-theresa-may-rape-clause-law-about-fairness-victims-debate-jereny-corbyn-a7703181.html

And the comments below, mostly about how women always claim rape when its false and such.

My heart goes out to anyone affected by this. Its bad enough it happens to you without having to sit through grillings to see if someone (who probably isn't even trained) 'believes' you or not. No doubt these people 'assessing' the 'truth' will be the likes of ATOS, the companies who cure terminal illnesses in seconds.

Just realised this is a lighthearted thread apologies. Thought it was just geenral chat

I'd have thought the pub is a reasonable place to bring that.

Bloody hell.

How the fuck do qualified research psychologists lack critical thinking skills to the point where they actually contribute navel-gazing bullshit studies to the whole mess? (And who the fuck is funding this research when there are serious issues in the world that need examining!) I mean, I know, I know... "gender studies" ... I just didn't expect it to be so soon into my generic psychology course (Open University) and so insidous. Casually making a reference to "cisgender people" ("people who are not trans"). A bit about sexuality: "Since Western cultures recognise only two genders, men and women..." SEXES. IT'S SEXES.

I think you need the comfy chair to sag into.

You would think it would be possible to discuss mens sexual attitudes on a feminist board. But no. I think there must be a bat signal.....

You would think, quentin! But yanno, women are just as bad and stuff. Diet coke ad?

Oh Christ! I just can't engage anymore today. Please can I have some ?

It's a bank holiday, which counts as a weekend for drinking purposes, so wine all round!

Yep. If hypothetically there was no patriarchy, would women rape as much as men? Zzzzzz zzzzzz

If hypothetically we had no mouths and no arses would he still talk shite?

Why is it, do you think that people who describe themselves as thinkers aren't?

I was just going to say "if someone has a pompous claim to nutrality and objectivity in that username - does that fucking fool anyone?"

I would like to ponder some alternative handles...
'FairAndEven'
'ImpartialWisdom'
'ObjectiveRationalist'
'GodsOwnMouthpiece'
....

You see it a lot on Twitter, "people" with claims to be independent, rational, calm etc being anything but.

It's quite amusing to wind them up. And easy.

I like ImpartialWisdom. Might name change actually- l like to Think that's what I bring to every thread I touch. Thats why I can never understand why people are so foolish as to disagree with me?

I mean whyyyyyyy won't people just acknowledge that I know better than them?

I mean whyyyyyyy won't people just acknowledge that I know better than them?
Because they haven't reached your level of enlightenment Tartle

I've been gardening today, which I'm sure any impartial observer would agree was the wisest thing to be doing on a sunny-ish bank holiday. (so I'm clueless which thread(s) I've been lucky enough to miss, but proffer or to those in need)
