My feelings about men

Name changed, obviously.

Im a regular on here although mostly lurking.

I was wondering how other people reconcile their feelings about how fucking awful the patriarchy is, how men as a group are basically toxic and even the 'good ones' have an incredibly low bar for being decent humans.

Im married, and seriously reconsidering it because I feel this ongoing utter despair at the myriad injustices I put up with. I would NEVER EVER pursue a relationship with a man if I did leave.

Anyone else feel the same? Is this normal?!

Also, those of you with sons should be ashamed as you're essentially consigning them to the scrapheap by being a feminist.

Weren't we all latte drinking 20 somethings a few minutes ago?

If you genuinely wanted equality

As one well known woman once said: equality is a profoundly conservative goal.

Not all feminists are concerned with equality. They just want to live in a world free from people like you.

Can't imagine why this guy isn't having more luck with online dating.

I've always found being called a fat old mother a winning chat up line.

I'm skipping GFs, I've no desire to supply a narc.

I have two beautiful boys, who I love, and have high hopes of. They seem respectful of women out in the wild.

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 09:14

Damn. Accidental cross post.

Cake recipes it is then.

Gronky · 25/01/2020 09:15

in a proper debate with me being calm I would absolutely fucking destroy you

Why worry about what you're clearly incapable of?

RufustheLanglovingreindeer · 25/01/2020 09:15

If youd come on here calmly to start with youd have a different result

You cant call us all cunts etc and expect us to chat nicely with you

prodigal ive just shown ds2 this and he said he likes your posts 😀

Well said field

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 25/01/2020 09:16

I feel like I missed something when I was gone for a few months. Did HQ actually ban the cake/recipe conversations? I've seen people vaguely alluding to this but wasn't really paying attention.

I'm too old to care anymore, but if I had my time again I'd be a political feminist. As a good looking young woman, I didn't notice the bars on the cage. As a mother, I was too busy bringing up my children. Bringing up foster children was an eye opener, looking at the parents' situations and how the children ended up with me. That started to open my eyes.

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 09:19

Bah, *political lesbian.

I dont think they like the cake recipes to be honest...and I expect grey rocking to be banned any minute

Truth.

And Greer's comments on "Equality" - are well worth listening to. I prefer to hark back to the Second Wave - women's liberation. Because women were never truly liberated. They were only allowed a limited amount of liberation, under the terms agreed by men.

The cakes seem to have drifted off somewhere- possibly fewer MRAs lurking for a while. Back they are now, though. Gingerbread with cream cheese frosting perhaps.
