Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Footprints in the butter but cheese will do Grin

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:27

Rufus "How do you tell if there are 4 elephants in your fridge"

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:32

ROFLMAO at the mini outside....

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:36

Right i will stop now Grin

I do love a good elephant joke

I even like the helicopter one Grin

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:45

Thank you Rufus
that was fun Grin

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:46

No no...thank you river

Everyone is sick of my jokes

Partly because i find them hysterically funny and usually cant get the punch line through as im laughing so hard

I am now attempting to drink Haig whisky, watch dirty dancing, mumsnet and read my book

This is not going to end well

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:51

Missed my mouth

And read the same paragraph 4 times

Im being distacted by Mr Swayze

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:56

Rufus "Partly because i find them hysterically funny and usually cant get the punch line through as im laughing so hard"

for a minute there I thought you were my sister....but she doesn't like whisky

once we were staying in a posh hotel and were laughing so hard at silly jokes, we thought we better go from the bar to the room

then the next joke made me laugh so much I ended up spitting out my drink half way across the room and I was so relieved I wasn't still in the bar...!!!

anyway, I've made a new rule for myself - no internet after 10pm - in order to help with my chronic insomnia so hopefully someone else will be along to join you in a Dirty Whisky Dancing mash-up.....

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:57

Rufus "Im being distacted by Mr Swayze"

well, that sounds innovative Grin

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:59
Grin

You have a good nights sleep river

QuentinSummers · 04/03/2018 22:11

I don't get the helicopter one Blush
Aaaw Patrick Swayze. RIP.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 22:18

The Guardian is not accepting any realistic comment on their (self) congratulory
www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2018/mar/03/womens-liberation-movement-march-1971-in-pictures

I posted a comment saying, basically, "Yes, great, but what about current women's rights and men's self ID?" And mentioned DV and rape shelters and assistance, toilets and changing rooms, women's sport, and health and social care.

Comment appeared briefly then disappeared again.

I think it is now time for me to give up on the Guardian.

Sorry, didn't know where else to put this, but I must put it somewhere because I'm pissed off.

Good health to you all, and thanks to you for being here!

SophoclesTheFox · 05/03/2018 06:39

You're far from alone there, lightofa. I was a lifelong guardian reader until about three years ago when they went off the reservation over women's rights generally. The rot set in with their refusal to report the New Year's mass assaults in Cologne, and then went completely to pot over trans issues and their absurd censorship BTL.

I've given up on online journalism more or less altogether now, the quality is so low, and. I read the New Statesman in hard copy instead. I can cope with that.

HairyBallTheorem · 05/03/2018 08:04

Quentin, it's an onamatopoeia. Ba-doom (two hit the land) tish (the third lands in the lake).

Cwenthryth · 05/03/2018 08:30

Well, I just got my first Twitter blocking. For agreeing with a transwoman who posted they are against self-ID. Literally a 2 tweet exchange, I said I 100% agree with them, but that makes me a TERF, after I said pls don’t assume I’m cis, sorry they were being attacked and asking who attacked them. Apparently I called them male (I didn’t) and this is an attack.

Feel a mixture of frustration, annoyance but also like I just got my wings. How does this logic make any sense to the people that believe it?
