Uneducated?? No.

Ignorant?? Maybe

I just have 0 idea. I read about it a lot but most goes over my head because I've never really read into it to understand it enough.

Ok thanks for letting mumsnet fem chat know that. Please give us an update when you "really read".

beansforbreakfastonceagain · 18/05/2018 19:40

Nae bother

AssassinatedBeauty · 18/05/2018 19:44

The fundamentals are really quite simple, the detail as to how to achieve those fundamentals is more complex.

CoupleOfPushBacks · 18/05/2018 19:45

I guess I wanted to learn from
The feminists themselves!

What do you think feminism is OP?

AssassinatedBeauty · 18/05/2018 19:48

Which bits go over your head?

Zioanna · 18/05/2018 19:50

There’s lots of threads on here you can read if you want to educate yourself.

Well apparently feminism now is just letting men decide what 'woman' means and calling everyone who won't toe the line a bigot. So just do that and you'll be fine. Tell Owen Jones we said hello.

HTH.

Maybe I’ll start spending my Friday nights joining football boards and telling everyone I don’t understand the offside rule, despite having four degrees and access to Wikipedia.

It’s not our job to explain shit to you.
Read a fucking book.

What was the purpose of your opening post? It sounded like you wanted people to help you learn about feminism, and people have suggested what you can do. If you're not interested in people's suggestions then it seems a little futile to start a thread.

Writersblock2 · 18/05/2018 20:54

Definitely male

AngryAttackKittens · 18/05/2018 20:54

Anyone have any recipes they'd like to share?

Writersblock2 · 18/05/2018 21:11

What about fathead pizza dough? Oh my gawd.

OlennasWimple · 18/05/2018 21:13

I get feminism but I can't understand how anyone can hear "laurel" when it's clearly "janny"

Cwenthryth · 18/05/2018 21:16

I don’t understand cricket. Or why videos of people unpacking shopping bags and talking about what they’ve “picked up” are so popular on YouTube.

AngryAttackKittens · 18/05/2018 21:17

My DH hears laurel. Should I be concerned?
