I get that we have a precious little echo chamber here, but is he right that most of the women in the western world just don;t care, don;t see the need and wish we'd all FTFO?

Is that a really deep metaphor Bluntness ?! Grin

It's the patriarchy in action - women always have to be the smaller table.

Batteriesallgone · 16/03/2017 16:02

I'm struggling to give a shit about an OP who doesn't bother to come back tbh

Batteries, I suspect all the "jokes" put her off.

BertrandRussell · 16/03/2017 16:14

All those people "having a laugh and a joke" might have been a bit off putting.

I'll keep a link to this thread for the next time somebody says how rude and intimidating and bullying feminists are...........

nobodysbabynow · 16/03/2017 16:30

Really, bullying? Because we should treat the opinion of some random man about what most women think with more gravity and respect?

Batteriesallgone · 16/03/2017 16:51

Surely someone who puts the words 'precious echo chamber' in their OP can put up with a few jokes. Otherwise it's a bit...precious...

IAmAmy · 16/03/2017 16:51

Yeah, feminists are "intimidating and bullying", not men who patronisingly tell women they're in a minority for opposing misogyny, misogynists who abuse women constantly or the misogyny we face daily. It's the women who fight that who are "intimidating and bullying" Hmm

I hope the OP tells her husband to do one, he sounds horrendous. I would if anyone close to me said something like that including my dad.

ChocChocPorridge · 16/03/2017 17:16

We punish it severely in this country

Bwaahahaaahaaaahaaaa - not that this is a joking matter...

Our conviction rates, hell, our 'taking it to court' rates are pitiful.

One guy got of recently because he 'tripped up and fell on the woman, and his penis slipped inside her'.

DJBaggySmalls · 16/03/2017 17:49

When you get down to the nuts and bolts, most people who oppose feminism do so on the grounds that they believe feminists hate men, or that we are all 4th wave SJW's.

VestalVirgin · 16/03/2017 18:21

You know, I am usually not a jealous person, but if my husband claimed to know the innermost thoughts of most women in the western world, I miiight be a bit suspicious that he's having affairs. Lots of them, in fact.

I mean, he is a man. Most of his friends are probably also men. And yet he claims he knows better than you what "most women" think?

I wonder why he's never told you about all those female friends. Just saying, if I was you, I'd not be so trusting. Wink

HelenaJustina · 16/03/2017 18:29

I luffs you all, that's all I have to add!

Batteriesallgone · 16/03/2017 18:30

DJ what's a SJW?

Lessthanaballpark · 16/03/2017 18:31

OP of course most women don't identify with feminism because the backlash against it has presented it as a movement of man-hating ball-breaking pearl-clutching harridans.

If one wants to attract the opposite sex (which most women do) one is advised to downplay the crazy feminist and up-play the cool girl.

exWifebeginsat40 · 16/03/2017 18:36

awaiting big reveal that this is yet another thread about trans people. SURPRISE!

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2017 18:37

I'm not sure most do, at any given time - a lot are perfectly happy with their existing OH (of whichever sex), a proportion are probably fed up with them, some are of course more interested in attracting the same sex and quite a lot have other priorities.Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2017 18:39

My guess, from the time of the first post, is that the OP started this tired and fed up, went to bed and forgot about it.

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 16/03/2017 18:44

OP has form for being a GF, Errol, I recognise the user name. But I'm loving the "I asked, and most women don't give a shit about what your DH thinks". That and the "hey we can replace those really annoying adlines '8 out of 10 women thought sparkly glitter shit cosmetics (TM) hid their wrinkles' with 'OP's husband says women think so, so it must be so.'"

HelenDenver · 16/03/2017 18:58

"Tea is vile.

There, I said it.

Vile."

Oh.
My.
Goddess.

That is going to make the celery/radish schism look like a storm in a, err, prosecco glass, mate.

You ok hun?

Xenophile · 16/03/2017 19:10

Ah well Helen, it appears that I am a mean old bully, so who'll care?

Albadross · 16/03/2017 19:10

Sorry yes I meant feminism!

Attracting males is very low on my list of priorities. If I find a male who is worth attracting, then perhaps I might make more of an effort, but attracting males in general? I'd rather know how to get rid of their unwanted attentions.
