And apparently, they are serious too! Book now! Grin 22convention.com/

You may however want to take a small oxygen supply because all the men there are breathing in so hard to flex for the photos it's going to be like high-altitude training.

You're welcome!

ahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahhhaaaa

I have spent this year lurching from one crisis to another on a personal level, mostly managing to keep my cool, and have also been keeping half an eye on the world outside chaos cos I don't particularly like surprises - if my so serene seeming head had a flip top you'd see a mini-me alternately running round screaming and rocking in the corner in a self imposed strait jacket.....

Oh my days.

Why the fuck can't we just all be left alone to deal with our shit without some fucker with an eye on the moolah piping up to give us tips on things we have the right not to be interested in thanks so much? What a pile of reductionist. redundant misogynistic wank.

Oh that's raised my blood pressure enough to motivate me to rage sort some aspects of my life I've been avoiding because meh - because if I don't do that, if some poor sod makes any reference to my femininity (or lack of) or womanliness (which I think is now off limits for discussion by women because most of us don't know what it "feels" like), I might do something ever so slightly unladylike.....

Michelleoftheresistance · 18/06/2020 13:08

But we're the evil radfems who have this bizarre belief we aren't born subservient and inferior to males uhm have encouraged female people out of their box no, uhm won't support human properly hang on, I can do this, don't think the primary purpose of existence is creating the happiness of males instead of being allowed happiness and fulfilment for ourselves have broken femininity!

I'm sure it all made sense at 2 in the morning after a Harry Enfield binge-athon baby Hmm

Cecily75 · 18/06/2020 13:16

We're all here in disbelief and laughing at this, but especially in the context of recent protests, imagine if there was a "how to be black" conference run by non-blacks?! Why is there no similar outrage in support of us women?! Angry

MrsJamin · 18/06/2020 13:22

So it's basically ru Paul's drag race but the men aren't in dresses?

LittleCabbage · 18/06/2020 13:27

The dude on the right looks suspiciously like a famous mansplainer we have already heard from recently. Daniel, is that you?

TorkTorkBam · 18/06/2020 13:41

For once in my life I so very want to see a TRA pile on.

TorkTorkBam · 18/06/2020 13:41

I am surprised they haven't got Melania or Ivanka in to explain how to woman properly.

BarbieandKenBruce · 18/06/2020 13:45

Oh thank you for this, I didn't know how much I needed a giggle.

One bit really tickled me, it was 'unhealthy militant feminists. Not those nice gym bunny militant feminists, they're alright, it's the unhealthy militant feminists you have to watch out for. Or are all militant feninists a bit physically decrepid? I mean gazooks, militant feminists are bad enough but those unhealthy ones are just taking the biscuit.

I also love the complete lack of insight when they describe how women imitating male behaviour has disrupted society without any pause to consider that maybe male behaviour is a bit shit then. Oh I forgot it's different when a man does it.

picklemewalnuts · 18/06/2020 13:54

That was a bit extraordinary. I showed it to DS2 and he confidently asserted it was trolling. I looked a bit longer, watched that car crash Piers Morgan interview... they actually mean that crap.

Dances · 18/06/2020 14:21

Look, these guys really need to be told that they are not being inclusive and that transwomen should be invited, otherwise there are big fat bigots.

TorkTorkBam · 18/06/2020 14:32

Maybe Justine will suggest a MN field trip? Run a competition to send a gaggle of mumsnetters. Minute by minute reporting. Buzzfeed style quizzes galore. Oh the publicity. Oh the comedy. Oh the traffic.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 18/06/2020 14:38

Oh!!! That's not real, is it?

Parody?

Or has the rabbit hole engulfed the world?

I feel guilty as I was laughing so hard at the irony of all the lovely mansplainy bits and then the header about Mansplaining.

If they are serious I just laughingly agreed with some seriously disturbed, egotistical, misogynistic, dangerous men!!!

TorkTorkBam · 18/06/2020 14:39

Perhaps there is someone lurking here who is on twitter with a decent following, who is not blocked everywhere, who could raise awareness of this wonderful event about how to increase your feminine presence by 500%.

I do hope so.

Some people are low on femininity, want to increase their femininity and will spend money to achieve it.

Not me admittedly. I already know how but mostly choose not. But there are others who are keen I hear.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 18/06/2020 14:40

You could send me.

I'll wear my best disingenuous face. Might even wear a skirt and heels!!

TorkTorkBam · 18/06/2020 14:55

I feminine up very nicely indeed. Could totally pass as surrendered sexy wife if I wanted I reckon. The spell would be broken when I speak though and I wouldn't be able to help myself Grin

I'm too busy laughing to even think about doing enough womanwork to earn enough "pin money" to buy a ticket for this life-changing event.Grin

I've rather lost track of time in lockdown. But I'm pretty sure its June not April.

FireUnderTheHand · 18/06/2020 15:59

Ok... so I live 2hrs from Orlando (I avoid it usually at all costs).

And I won't spend $2k of my own money on something so horrifically fantastically misogynist but I would pitch in and take one for the team if my fellow lovely vipers really want to get inside and find out 'how to woman'.

Just sayin'

I am a long time lurker, poster of about three years (before I lost my username due to encrypted email fail).

Days like today - seeing a serious convention for such nonsense I am now sincerely sure that I don't belong on this planet. The left pushes me to allow males to define me through conceptualizing 'woman' and 'female' and the right pushes to force subservience through willful ignorance and discarding my independence.

Disturbingly yesterday I had a bit of a row with my mother - she claims to be 'moderate' but truthfully is card-carrying (yes they have laminated cards that look like credit cards with Trump's face on it) Trump-lover. I hadn't seen her since February and she chose to rant and rave about 'the left' and just like every other politically brainwashed sheeple (left or right) she holds up 'her President' as this amazing leader. She told me yesterday that she was 'just like me' at 43yrs old and that I will migrate to her stance later. In a nutshell she told me that I need to 'pick a side'. I can't because both sides are corrupt seem to be intent on putting me in a box.

I really want to go to this thing now and interview people on the down-low as well as 'play the part'. If there were a similar convention for the left I would say fuck it and pay and go to both to juxtapose against each other. If anyone seriously wants a piece of this I would consider putting myself through the shit to report back and would happily share notes and interviews with you wonderful women so we could collectively pen an article (under an alias of course, perhaps 'international vipers'?).

StrangeLookingParasite · 18/06/2020 19:23

Dude. Those ears.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 19:27

So, pay lots of money to be taught how to attract men who if they were the only relationship options left on Earth I'd happily embrace celibacy? Sign me up!

(Would it be too much to send them some razors with a helpful video explaining how they can become the men I'd like them to be?)

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 18/06/2020 19:43

the entire FWR board to attend one of the sessions.

God, please.
