A few questions for feminists

[ConservativeV8]

1. Why is feminism so small in number? They get plenty of airtime but it isn't catching on. Women know about it so why no support?

1. Feminists want equality of opportunity and equality of outcome but how can you have both when it's impossible? You want to give women choice, but then want exactly 50% of men and women in each industry. This can only be achieved by forcing women (and men) to do jobs they don't want to or choose to do. Explain?

1. Why do you think the earnings difference is due to gender when time and time again it has been shown it has nothing or very little to do with it. Why feminists not take into account the 40 or so factors which affect earnings, such as men are more likely to work longer hours, do more overtime, take less holidays, work more dangerous jobs, willing to relocate, willing to commute further, etc etc?

Please discuss.

Quentin, you definitely have to make them into a jelly and use jam sugar, as they have itchy seeds in the middle and you don't want any of those on your toast. It has a very delicate flavour so it's best to let it stand alone. Having said that, adding a few elderberries does take it to a whole other level. I wish it was autumn already.

It's not like anyone actually has to hunt the MM. I think it's the PBP rule which applies to him.

Ah right. Didn’t realise there was previous with this one.

😂😂😂 thank you mumsnetters. Needed a laugh this morning. Also Clara- thanks for letting the thread stand.

Yeah, that's how come he has his own nickname. While 'midnight misogynists' used to be quite a common intermittent occurrence, this one has a very distinctive style and set of questions.

Just to muddy the waters let's throw in a shark attack. Here's someone who can definitively tell us which was worst!

I'd rather be bitten by a very poisonous snake. Probably quite a quick death.

Haha I bet OP is climbing the walls not being able to silence the uppity women who are outright mocking him. Never mind, I'm sure he'll be back soon under a new name to re-educate us, he won't be able to help himself.

Is that guy going to get bitten by a venomous spider next? Maybe a tiger attack for variety?

Ooo rosehip syrup! Used to love that. I'd probably find it far too sickly sweet now I'm no longer a child

Maybe he can work on his spag in the meantime, Buzz. He can start with "Why is feminism so small in number?"

That was the genius of mixing it with lemon juice, which was too sharp.

Hmmmm... Grizzly bear or python... Am I allowed to shoot myself in the head before either of them get to me??

It wouldn't really be in the spirit of the game, I'm afraid. It's like when you're playing "Who would you rather kiss" in Year 6, you HAVE to choose between the given options. It's not acceptable to go "Eeerrrgh, neither!" or claim that you'd kill yourself rather than be forced to choose between your headmaster and the weird kid in the year below who has halitosis and nits.

He can start with "Why is feminism so small in number?"

With posts like these I am reminded of several popular Facebook tag groups, such as

"Why are men"
"Of Course You Call Them Females"
"Dick is abundant and low value"

etc

No thanks.

Oh, and here's a really easy link to click

HA HA! Now I've RTFT I see you're chatting baking - I'm still in the middle of the 2 weeks it takes me to clean my oven. But the link to the Feminism 101 blog FAQ is really useful to send to these sorts of wankers. So cut out & keep, sisters.

Now off to buy my own yoga mat oh dear so I can feel as safe as possible in my Pilates class.

I clean my oven in stages: put all the racks in the oven cleaning bags I buy hopefully in Poundland. Then spay the oven floor. Then think, Gosh I'm exhausted. Pour wine.

Repeat over 2 weeks until I'm desperate to make a casserole or bake peppers, and then get water everywhere & hope that the racks haven't corroded.

I'm at Stage 2: racks are shining, oven floors still grotty. And let's not talk about the glass doors.

Can only eat shop-bought cake. The shame

How on this earth can you be a woman and not be a feminist yourself?? I’m not a Freud fan but I think you’ve got penis envy! Being a feminist means you do what you want, regardless. I don’t even understand where your coming from??!!

spay the oven floor

I do hope that's a typo and your oven floor doesn't actually have ovaries.

I'd just like to know why, instead of discussing who we have to kiss out of a few possible options, we're having to choose between really unappealing and horrific deaths?

FlockofGulls the very best thing about that link is the comments underneath where someone is complaining that it's patronising. Oh, the irony.

In answer to the important questions but here: I would rather be eaten by a grizzly bear, a quicker death.

In other news my isolation boredom has led to me making pineapple jam for the very first time, with an aim to making Scottish pineapple tarts. I miss them so much and its the first thing this pregnancy that I have really wanted to eat.

That's presumably no relation of 'Lancashire Pineapple Chutney' - which is actually made from golden beetroots.

Although, surprisingly, it is possible to grow pineapples in Lancashire, though perhaps not in commercial quantities. www.lep.co.uk/news/bumper-crop-pineapples-grown-goosnargh-669913

I've just reported another funny little weirdo, but I did screen shot the post, so if we do ever find that we've managed to deal with all the MRAs and sexists of the world, I can post quotes for us to pillory. There was a lot of stuff about 'intelligent men making decisions for evil women' styling. I pictured him in a swish red Spanish Inquisition style cape.
