“Make Women Great Again” - A Male-Hosted Conference Will Teach Women How to Achieve True Femininity in 2020

medium.com/fearless-she-wrote/a-male-hosted-conference-will-teach-women-how-to-achieve-true-femininity-in-2020-f4ae63f0a7ca

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!

(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?)

Especially Gillette, which will teach them how to be better men.

I'm ... like ... going to need a strong, competent and intellectually superior man to explain me to me at this point, I'm afraid:

On the one hand:

  • Pencil skirts and high heels? CHECK!
  • Makeup and nicely done artificially blond hair? CHECK!
  • Chromosomal configuration? CHECK! (I mean, I haven't, technically, had myself tested, but there is the coincidental fact that I've sort of carried and birthed a fully functioning human child ... so, I guess that's a valid approximation for "checks out on a biological level" ... hopefully?)

On the other hand:

  • Very unfeminine profession? CHECK!
  • Lords it over the menz and has been described as a "ball crusher"? CHECK!
  • Financially independent? CHECK!
  • Took on male boss in a bloody mudfight (metaphorically speaking, I sort of likenmy boss) and scored an epic victory? CHECK!

Am I, like, unwittingly non-binary because I fail the femininity test here, though? Confused

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 19:50

If I accidentally passed their femininity test I'd be a bit concerned, and would insist that my friends take me out for a boozy pep talk.

(Post lockdown obviously)

RufustheRowlingReindeer · 18/06/2020 19:53

the entire FWR board to attend one of the sessions

Im up for that

Ds1 wants to go as a family

Ds2 thought it would be funny to send me but I explained that i may come back less feminist but probably more Huggy and kissy...and thats put him right off

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 18/06/2020 19:58

Watching that Piers Morgan clip, I don't think it would be fair to send FWR to the conference. It'd be like sending MMA fighters to the soft play to take on the toddlers.

Is it sponsored by Old Spice?

nancybotwinbloom · 18/06/2020 20:06

Has one of them got joke ears on or are they his ears?

BrexpatInSwitzerland · 18/06/2020 20:06

It'd be like sending MMA fighters to the soft play to take on the toddlers.

Are toddlers, technically, capped at 3? Because my 4-year-old would be up for that! She stands no chance from a physical standpoint, but she's an unsurpassed genius in the field of emotional blackmail and has a stellar track record of winning over physically superior adversaries. I'm sort of simultaneously in awe and afraid of what I've created there ... Grin

nancybotwinbloom · 18/06/2020 20:06

Is the other one Jared Leto?

It's a wind up. It must be.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 20:09

RE our mate with the unfortunate ears, not sure if his jaw and chin is also unfortunate or if for some reason he's cut his beard to make it look like it is.

Just looking at those two makes my vagina dry up like Death Valley.

nancybotwinbloom · 18/06/2020 20:10

OMG am dying laughing the comments on this thread 😂😂😂

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 18/06/2020 20:42

Well, I've had a look, and I think that if I'm to attend this conference in my very best rara skirt and fancy shoes, then I need to see some more appealling produce. I'm sorry, but I'm just not willing to sacrifice my independence of thought for what looks like the runners-up in an A Team lookalike competition, shop-soiled and hoping for a rerun 20- years on.

Have they not got anyone even a little bit appealing? I can even warm to a rough and ready type, or a rather dim alpha male. But these just aren't up to scratch.

Next!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 20:45

The brothers Thick Odd-Ears and Smug Bargain Basement Sleazebag aren't really doing it for me either. Would not purchase even in 90% off closing down sale.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 18/06/2020 20:51

Kittens, may I interest you in a novelty moustache, p'raps? Honestly, watch til about 3 minutes in, it's totally worth it, I promise.

[grin}

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 20:56

There isn't a 3 min mark in that video though...

TerribleCustomerCervix · 18/06/2020 21:07

Can we crowd fund to get Julie Bindel a ticket?

Michelleoftheresistance · 18/06/2020 21:11

I suspect they'd faint in horror at ra ra skirts.

I suspect this is a Laura Ashley frock and stockings job. Which I could gladly do, but it's going to utterly terrify them when I pull the spot welding kit out of my handbag to keep my hands busy while I listen.

Poor chaps. So surrounded by incompetent womaning they have to hold a whole conference.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 18/06/2020 21:13

"Be feminine"

(Turns up in full girly goth regalia including full makeup)

"No, not that way, that way is scary and it makes my pee pee shrink in terror."

OneEpisode · 18/06/2020 21:34

Apparently I could diet my feminist rage away?

17th rule of misogyny: Men are better at performing femininity than women are because they invented it and it gives them a boner.

NorthernIrishFeminist · 18/06/2020 22:26

This is hilarious (and sad) but what could anyone have possibly said about this that would have lead to so many posts being deleted?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 18/06/2020 23:07

Ach, sorry, 2 minutes!

Feeling a bit sorry for these boys now. There's an overarching sense of desperation just reeking from every pore.

BrexpatInSwitzerland · 18/06/2020 23:08

17th rule of misogyny: Men are better at performing femininity than women are because they invented it and it gives them a boner.

Challenge fucking accept ... yeah ... okay ... never mind: admitting defeat on the grounds that I've literally managed to fail on more than one level within less than a sentence. Damnit!

Stealhsquirrelnutkin · 18/06/2020 23:11

I think it's jolly mean and unfair of them to exclude transwomen many of whom are well into all that glamour and sexualised subjugation shit.

Why expose reluctant women to fembot indoctrination, when there are plenty of transwomen with a natural talent and affinity for 'ladylike deportment? A good few of them will already have invested money and time in training in how to walk, talk, dress and sit like a lady, (some even manage to get off on it) so they'd probably consider $2000 a wise investment.

Long hair, make up, hairless skin, and simpering gracefully and sensually in (fashionable?) pink lace and frills, really doesn't come naturally to many women, but an awful lot of transwomen get a thrill out of it, it's an integral part 'living as a woman' in their view.

It seems silly to exclude a bunch of highly feminised people who have already got the hair tossing, head tilting, gold lame purse brandishing and breathy voice down pat, just because they had the misfortune to be born male.

Why it almost strikes me as transphobic. I think they should open their doors and hearts to the femininity of transwomen. They are missing out on the chance of meeting their soulmates, a possible life partner who would be completely in tune with their own views on gender. Such a shame.

ProstheticConscience · 18/06/2020 23:22

I particularly liked the section complaining about prior generations

"..feminist meddling and sabotage"

WhatTiggersDoBest · 18/06/2020 23:41

So if I put on a fake beard and a baseball cap, I can charge $2k a pop for telling women how to wear pink and shave?

I'm in the wrong line of work.
