If I didn't know better I'd think that "article" was a spoof. I've learnt what "pro-heaux" means which is great.

Interesting to learn that any prospective date must be pro-sex workers though. I'm sure that's a really popular requirement.

Meghan Murphy has written a spoof of it on Feminist Current.

"Queerphobic"
OMFG. My eyes rolled so hard they hurt now.
Also "queer femme of colour".

I presume "pro-heaux" means "centre men who want to pimp women in your feminism".

Honestly, I can't read everyday handmaidenry. It's just a complete pile of wank. Yes, there may be the occasional okay idea on there (date men who walk the walk when it comes to feminism, rather than shouting about what a right on lefty dude-bro feminist they are while shafting women), but the occasional okay idea comes under the heading "stopped clock is right twice a day".

It's funny. They did improve slightly while we had the crazy things EF says thread but it's gone back to bullshit

Sounds like a right laugh first date conversation....

SweetGrapes · 12/12/2017 21:49

Does the first question assume dates with white guys? There's a little disclaimer in brackets but is that enough?

SparkleFizz · 12/12/2017 21:58

Maybe I’m just horribly shallow, but to me, that reads more like a list of job interview questions than a first date conversation.

And also - pro-sex worker? Not sure if that equates to pro-legalising prostitution or not, but if a man I was on a first date with claimed to be pro-sex worker, I’d be awfully suspicious about his motivations.

No idea how I managed to find someone whose values aligned with mine without this helpful article. Hmm

I love the spoof. She's spot on about dogs.
hides from the MN cat- loving brigade

So if I find out my boyfriend is a john I should be super stoked yes?

I can't even imagine the job. Maybe at Everyday Feminism...

A date that went like that would be The Date From Hell.
