the number of times I've had to check the date reading the news lately.....

Girl my comments were said a little in jest but your right, it never occurred to me the injustice men suffer because random women don't want to sit next to them.

TheWoodlander thanks, signed. Equal Pay Act took women to demonstrate and MPs like Barbara Castle to get. So see you all on January 21st.

I don't think i said it was an injustice did I ? What I said was that the general impression given by a lot feminists is that they don't like men very much and that they prefer women. They then complain that women are excluded from male activities, or that they can't understand why other women are not attracted to a place where fear of all of men is encouraged and every opportunity to point out how unfair and biased against women the world is is taken.

Low level sexism is not tolerated when it's men doing it do women, nor is it dismissed as so trivial to be irrelevant, but when it's the other way round it's apparently all right. But sure - you're not sexist.

"What I said was that the general impression given by a lot feminists is that they don't like men very much and that they prefer women."

You have hyper to provide any evidence at all to support this claim.

Oh please - you yourself said that you would rather sit next to a woman because you think you would find her more interesting than a man FFS. Another poster complained that men are generally inconsiderate and there's a thread going on right now where the idea of not wanting to use the same bathroom as men is justified in light of them being stinky and uncaring about hygiene (amongst other points I appreciate).

To quote since you are big on evidence :

"They contribute so much of the evil to the world and I've only ever met a handful that care truly about females and their rights.

I am up for living in a women only village "

"To be honest, I think it is entirely logical" [hatred of men]

...etc.

Sorry, flaxen but are you really arguing this on a thread about a male MP who spent 78 minutes in Parliament yesterday trying to deliberately block a Bill that will protect all victims of Domestic Violence? Because he objected to it having the Women in the title.

Yes, it seems you are.

"Oh please - you yourself said that you would rather sit next to a woman because you think you would find her more interesting than a man"

No. I said that all other things being equal, and in the absence of any other social cues if I had to choose a seat beside a man or a seat beside a woman I would probably choose the woman because experience has shown I'd probably have more in common. And I would be totally fine if a man said the same.

Mind you, most men I know would probably say the same!

But. Wrong place for this debate- sorry everyone.

A lot of the whining from MRAs etc seems to be around women not giving them the attention they "deserve".

It's reminded me of last xmas where we were doing the tables for the work do and we did it and then someone pointed out that that left an all male table, and that wasn't any good. I said, well why not? I mean it's traditional but does it actually matter and she responded that the men "like to have someone to show off to, don't they" (no she's not a "feminist as far as I know". And when it came to it, we did swap around but due to arrival order, the women ended up on one side, and the men on the other. And I realised that the women were all sitting there chatting and laughing and having a good time and the men were all sitting there on the other side looking a bit lost. We did mix around later and it was all good - we all know each other and they are all nice. But I thought - is this our role at a formal occasion? To get all prettified and then give the man allocated to us someone to direct conversation at who will smile amiably etc?

It was all very interesting.

Actually it was me who moved first because I felt a bit sorry for the poor sods :D and they are all perfectly nice so it was hardly a hardship
