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.

Whether or not you think there is only one, doesn't change the fact that e.g. lib fems exist. I made no statement as to which one is the "correct" one or whatever.

Oh gosh, a MAN is an Expert On Feminism™

Oh dude, no uterus, no opinion. Get it? No, you probably won't.

There is only ONE feminism, and that is the liberation from the likes of you. The rest, fake feminism. But you wouldn't actually know that, would you?

"I guess I wanted to learn from
The feminists themselves!"

So read threads in here and you will get an idea. You will also learn that there is no "one" feminism. Plenty of groups call themselves that but hold wide ranging views that oppose each other (e.g. sex positive or not).

So yes, you are both uneducated and ignorant.

I have been tinkering online recently designing myself a tshirt of the Millicent Fawcett statue, but haven’t quite got around to actually ordering one yet.

I am disappointed someone already ‘has’ the feminazgûl term! Although good on her/them. I have about an hours drive to do in a bit - hope their album is on Spotify.

We have the circumflex, though. Makes all the difference.

Put me down for the T-shirt.
I am on the fence about biscuit dunking. Please edumacate me, I am far too lazy to go to google, or even to experiment and risk a cup of tea with a lump of soggy biscuit at the bottom. I may in fact, start the pro-scones movement. Disclaimer: it is pro-scone, not anti-biscuit. NABALT.

Though I could be wrong about that on second look.

What about FemGul? Or does that suggest seagulls.

Well, I'd be fairly sure the artist is a feminist so I guess it could be both.

So they might just think it a band shirt instead of a Feminist shirt?
I am disappoint.

So good, there's already a hashtag

And a musician https://feminazgul.bandcamp.com/releases .... digital album 'The age of men is over'. Grin

That makes it perfect in every way!

I was thinking that before I saw you’d said it! I want a Feminazgûl T-shirt too. So much I might actually make/order one.

Feminazgûl....hmm, my one reservation about adopting this is that wiki tells me that another name for the Nazgûl is 'the shriekers'.

Well, I've learned something from this thread at least, had no idea about the context menu (on iPad as well as iPhone).

Numeric codes for lower-case letter circumflex accent marks:

â= Alt + 0226
ê= Alt + 0234
î= Alt + 0238
ô= Alt + 0244
û= Alt + 0251

That one works

Nope to HTML

On an iPhone you just hold down the press on the letter and you get a context menu with all the accent options. On a Windows pc you press control, shift and the caret (^) key and then the letter to insert it.

Testing this:


In HTML, render characters with circumflex accent marks by typing the "&"(ampersand symbol), then the letter (e, U, etc.), then the letters "circ," then ";" (a semicolon) without any spaces between them, such as:

ê= ê
Û= Û

If you're on an iPhone you hold down the 'u' to get versions with accents.

I don't know how either so I copy paste.
If someone could tell us how tho make a circumflex I would be a very happy person.
