Ive done a little browsing in the feminism section and i admit its intriguing, please forgive my ignorance as i dont know alot about this all.

I just want to start by saying i was raised to respect everyone and i truly do, my view on equality is simply if some one, man or woman is good enough to do the specific job they aspire for then they have every right to get said job/goal, again if this is slight ignorance forgive me, i post this topic because i would like to learn and be less ignorant, love me some knowledge.. :)

So i suppose my question is broad and depends on the individual person's view, but what is the over reaching/ultimate goal of feminism ? or what does it mean to you personally ? and please, dont think im trolling or anything i genuinely want to learn a thing or two, thanks :)

@thebewilderness your running low on insults, the troll thing has been used several times before please enlighten me with a new one

lolli18 · 03/05/2018 21:38

@thebewilderness but women do that too so not a gender thing... next

... continues rant as now I'm angry.

And you know what? All my friends colleagues who have gone on to do great things have either been childless, employed nannies (which I refuse to do), or had HUGE amounts of grandparent help. None have been able to do great things when co parenting equally. Penalised for parenting. Yet men seem to be able to do ok. Because of patriarchy and biology.

@PleaseCustomizeCharacter "Italiangreyhound i dont really have an answer to that, i sort of randomly came across the site, lurked in sections for a bit, lurked this section for a bit and sort of wanted to educate myself in the subject a bit more as like i said i dont know much about it."

It is a brilliant site. I must say that my first post in Feminism chat, or whatever it was once called, didn't go down too well!

So stick with it if you want to learn.

Thanks

Thebewilderness your #1 reason makes mine seem superficial and selfish now.

There are lots of important reasons why we still need feminism from life or death stuff to the more trivial, like mine, I suppose.

SpareRibFem · 03/05/2018 21:44

@PleaseCustomizeCharacter I wasted my time spent a while answering your question and still no acknowledgement let alone thanks...

Please stop @ing me. you are on the thread. It is completely unnecessary to keep tapping people on the shoulder like that.

but women do that too so not a gender thing.

I think that when you earn the Troll designation you are entitled to wear it.

MissReginaPhilange · 03/05/2018 21:49

@thebewilderness true however do women not carry out sexual assaults and torture also? If you say no ill kindly link a few articles your way one which was in my home town.

@bi11yonemate here here my body is a wreck after child birth and has been dismissed many times by male drs no less.. even as recently as the weekend when I was given morphine and sent home from a&e .....

lolli18 · 03/05/2018 21:52

@thebewilderness Yey! Hopefully I will earn it soon. eee I just can't help myself tap tap

I'm not a keyboard warrior expert on these you know I have an outside life 🤭

thebewilderness · 03/05/2018 21:53

Bi11yOneMate

It is the mistreatment that I put at #1 that makes it possible for men to dismiss us when we object to anything less than being murdered in our beds.
And when we do object to being murdered in our beds the news articles examine what we did to deserve it and what society needs to do to help the poor misunderstood men who murder women in their beds. You may recall this happened just this past week.

ReluctantCamper · 03/05/2018 21:53

lolli18 you will note that your extremely unpleasant post at 20.28 has been deleted. Your behaviour on this thread has been revolting.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 03/05/2018 21:54

We know. You told us you were going to have fun or something. Still here though.

lolli18 · 03/05/2018 21:54

@ReluctantCamper oh god il never sleep again

thebewilderness · 03/05/2018 21:55

It's easy enough to turn off the notification feature when the trolls decide to use the site features to annoy people.
You two bizarre characters are not the first.

lolli18 · 03/05/2018 21:57

I feel lucky and what I've been doing has worked. Champion 😀

thebewilderness · 03/05/2018 22:02

Are we seriously going to have the 97% male perps are exactly equal to the 3% female perps with two "women" on FWR?
Cuz I am having an MRA deja vu big time.

Bi11yOneMate · 03/05/2018 22:02

Thebewilderness yes I recall. And I also note the difference in how women and men are treated in the MSM. Even female newsreaders have to show more skin / be more groomed / be thinner. It's not just the content, there's a subliminal message in the presentation of the message. "Women you must always look fabulous. And if you become a victim it's your fault as you looked too fabulous / insert other reason"

Bi11yOneMate · 03/05/2018 22:05

Thebewilderness - I was going to comment on that but then knew you would do it so much better, so didn't!

Incidentally I was reading this feminist board for probably 3 years before I started contributing... I may have been a little scared of all the great intellects and awesome women on here Flowers

Just dont do the @ thing at people who have asked you not do the @ thing at them

ReluctantCamper · 03/05/2018 22:10

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 03/05/2018 22:13

Eeerrrrmmmmm

Not sure thats what the term 'keyboard warrior' means *reluctant

Were you particularly attached to your now useless bit of tech?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 03/05/2018 22:13

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 03/05/2018 22:14
