that’s your comprehension issues again

Maybe you should do less being rude

And more being clear

I find that a lot of the time its not lack of comprehension...its lack of clarity

Littlelamp456 · 02/12/2019 18:00

Bit rich talking about rudeness given the attitude I’ve received on here really, isn’t it?

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 02/12/2019 18:02

nope

Not rich at all

When you've finished shooting the messenger, chaps, could you say a word or two about the message?

(For the hard of thinking, the messenger is Posie and the message is that people can't change sex. Not unicorn-gender but SEX.)

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 02/12/2019 18:03

Do point out where someone has had a pop at your comprehension as ive obviously missed it and I’ll tell them as well

Butterisbest · 02/12/2019 18:04

@Littlelamp456 it wasn't my comprehension issues the first time. Please try and remember the posters you're trying to engage with. It can't be that difficult. Must try harder littlelamp.

She’s quite easy to listen to.

No wonder it’s so popular.

Butterisbest · 02/12/2019 18:08

Rufus, it was way upthread Lang Cleg asked littlelamp for clarity and was told it was her comprehension, now I'm being told it's mine. Lattlelamp's sarcastic riposte was addressed to the wrong poster.

Your memory's not very good is it? Can't remember who responded to you, can't remember the thread title. Are you ok hun

The critics of SAHMs obviously would never have subscribed to the Wages for Housework Campaign.

As a woman who is hopeless at housework, like my mother before me, and am not very clever at keeping children entertained, I have every admiration for the work involved in running a house and looking children. It actually requires a lot of talent and specialist skills.

To my mind, there is nothing more patriarchal than denigrating the work that keeps the world turning round just because it is traditionally women's work.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 02/12/2019 18:41

I'm a SAHM. What is it I need to do now to qualify as a feminist? Is it something to do with white supremacy?

I only read 5 pages (and that backwards) so you'll understand I'm a tad confused Confused but I did so want to join in.

theflushedzebra · 02/12/2019 18:46

I'm a SAHM too DressedinBlack and Coyoacan - man, this patriarchy I'm propping up is heavy. My back! Grin

XXMansplainShieldActive · 02/12/2019 18:51

Aww thanks OP for this wonderful reminder to watch Posie's videos celebrating womanhood, proud and blessed xxx

Hey zebra.

It's the Old Boys Club in my right armpit that causes me the most grief but I soldier on Grin

theflushedzebra · 02/12/2019 19:08

There is good discussion to be had about why the childcare generally defaults to women, and (I think this is even worse) where both parents work FT and the woman still does the lion's share of the childcare/housework- and why so-called "woman's work" seems to be under-valued. But it's not really a discussion for this thread.

But saying degrading things about "housewives" or "scary 1950s housewife persona" just because you don't like a woman who happens to be a sahm is certainly not feminism.

Joisanofthedales · 02/12/2019 19:12

every decent feminist burnt their bras
Well yes in the 70s when I and other women my age had bouncy resilient breasts. Nowadays sadly brad are too essential to burn.
A bit of a derail but do women still say "Charleys dead" when their slip is showing or do women no longer wear slips? I dont as i live in trousers (does this mean I have to use the gents toilet).

Butterisbest · 02/12/2019 19:21

@Backinthecloset123
Thanks from me as well for starting this thread it's been great to watch Posies films again.
I suspect I'm not a radical feminist, well, not according to SapphosRock, although they did get a bit confused and unclear.

XXMansplainShieldActive · 02/12/2019 19:22

i live in trousers

me too, perhaps we are indecent feminists?

FWIW I once told my 70 yo aunt about Posie and the Disrespectful Woman remarks and she yelled "I want a tshirt with disrespectful woman on it". This is a woman who had to have her brother sign for a tv lease in the seventies and was quizzed on who would "look after her children" when she applied to a degree as a mature student and single mother.

Butterisbest · 02/12/2019 19:26

Oh, that's a shame. It looks like the anti Posie posters have run away. Maybe they're at the radfem school pub, we'll recognise them though. They'll be the braless people in the corner. Rad femming everywhere. Drinking pints and bad mouthing SAHMs. Or is that just SapphoRocks

Butterisbest · 02/12/2019 19:28

XxMansplain, Indecent Feminists sounds pretty good. Likewise disrespectful women

Joisanofthedales · 02/12/2019 19:29

indecent feminists love it Smile

PerrysWinkle · 02/12/2019 19:30

Just seen on SFW Facebook page that the incredible Posie is at some hustings waiting for Helen Belcher (a prospective parliamentary candidate) to appear.
Looking forward to this one. 🍿🍿
