I couldn't be bothered to find out which bulb was not working in my car when the bulb fault light came on and I asked my partner to have a look and change it for me. I am more than capable of doing it myself Grin

Im a feminist but dh does the bins and reaching for high up stuff so i don't have to get a chair to climb on.

I'm a feminist but...

I knew the food bin needed emptying and I left it for dh!

Italiangreyhound · 02/05/2018 21:45

Reaching for high stuff is a height thing!

I am a feminist but..

I have never been in my own loft.

I have never mown a lawn (i have strimmed the edges)

DH is Head of Bins and i am Head of Bathroom Cleaning. This works for us.

I'm a feminist but

I really do think men should offer me/other females the free seat on the tube not take it themselves

Crumbliest - Is that a metaphor? 😂

DH mows the lawn and does the bins, but also irons and is much more of a clucky hen with the kids when they’re ill. OTOH I fixed the boiler during the cold snap. 💪 We’re sex stereotype fluid in this household.

....

I take the car to Halfords so the "nice man" can check the oil, coolant and water levels. but it's a service and I pay for it from the money I earn (as a feminist).

....

I claimed to know nothing about the importance of a car service when it turned out I had forgotten it. I was let off by the "nice man" at the car servicing place.

....

I chose to stay home with my kids when they were young because it seemed easier than going to work every day.

I often struggle to explain what it means

I'm a feminist but: when the young woman who runs the nearest feed store told me she was four months pregnant and couldn't lift heavy things any more, I decided I'd have to buy hay at the other feed store with the men who lift things. (I'm not a monster; I was very excited for her and I always helped lift stuff, but I nearly burst a gasket hauling the big bales of hay into the ute on my own).

I'm a feminist but

I still spend way too long every day obsessing about plucking my moustache hairs out in case anyone notices them Shock

OutComeTheWolves · 03/05/2018 07:18

I'm a feminist but I'm really into clothes and makeup. After the feminism board, my 2nd most frequented topic is style and beauty.

Mumsnut · 03/05/2018 07:20

Yep, Wolves, me as well

(Nearly typed 'Me too' but caught myself in time)

MillicentF · 03/05/2018 07:22

A lot of these really should be "I'm a feminist and........" Smile

MapleSap1 · 03/05/2018 07:23

Why? This ones a wind up right? Hmm

Writersblock2 · 03/05/2018 08:00

...I have Botox. Shock

P.S I don’t like The Guilty Feminist either - I think it’s too libfem for my tastes.

I am a feminist but I really like glittery sparkly things....... and cute stationary,.....

Opheliah · 03/05/2018 11:39

I'm a feminist but...

I often dress my son in blue and my daughter in pink Blush

spiders.

Thank you!! I was about to say I'm a feminist and ... I love make up and buying make up, it is my calm place applying lots of colours to my skin.

I am a feminist so I do the things I like (such as makeup) for me and don't worry about what men think of it.

OnTheList · 03/05/2018 12:17

I'm a feminist but...

When finding out I was having a daughter, I was so excited about the frilly pretty pink stuff I could buy (she is now gender non-conforming by choice, which I think I prefer tbh). Also in this house we have mans jobs and womens jobs. I have only ever taken the bins out on 2 occasions in 5 years Blush

Amalfimamma · 03/05/2018 12:19

I am a feminist but..........

I get DH to do all the gardening after finding a viper last year. Hate the things are refuse to do any gardening now (unless it's in the veg patch where we have anti rodent and anti snake audio repellant)

Scribblegirl · 03/05/2018 12:37

I'm a feminist but when the cat brings in a mouse, I screech and make DH deal with it.

Should1stayorshould1go · 03/05/2018 12:53

Im a feminist but....

I once abandoned my car at 1am blocking a road, because I was knackered after a shift, hugely pregnant with a head engaged in my pelvis and I just could not reverse the fucker into the only available space without scraping something
I went crying to DH, who got out of bed to put my car in a space

KittyKlaws · 03/05/2018 18:42

I'm a feminist but when the cat brings in a mouse, I screech and make DH deal with it.

Oh me too @Scribblegirl and when she brings in bloody living birds to flap around. I screech like that woman in the Tom and Jerry cartoons. I am hardcore with spiders though - they don't bother me.

GuiltyFeminist · 03/05/2018 18:47

These are great Smile

I'm a feminist but....I still long for cellulite free thighs
