The GC what now? Are we the cult?

Twice in the last week or so I've read TRA posts on twitter saying GC fems are a cult. Despite the fact the movement begs for debate and sunlight. No secrecy or pushing for kids to hold secrets from their families.

Is this the latest in "I know you are but what am I" or has this been a claim all along and I haven't noticed?

A cult with cake you say, well that's me in, will need to switch the gin for vodka though (am I schisming already?) surely if we tick some of the boxes we'd be good to go?

Artichokeleaves · 18/09/2021 18:14

That would help with the chant certainly.

What do we want?
More cake!
When do we want it?
Now!

(And proper safeguarding. And answers that work for everyone. And words like inclusion, diversity and intersectionality applying equally to female people. In fact equality of application of terminology and consideration to all humans. And freedom of belief. And laws that aren't a complete pigs ear of a mess. And political leaders that don't hide under the table rather than sorting out the mess they made. And not being regarded as service humans. And freedom to be homosexual adult females. And an end to political capture: see proper safeguarding.....)

It's not catchy though.

A manifesto, that's what we need! We could do it as a nice list, I love a list.

And pretty pictures with very few words, we are women after all with our pink girly brains.

Leader with quite enough zeal and vim.

I'm afraid I'm out of zeal and vim. Will Cillit Bang and Cif do?

Has to be Cilit Bang Black Mould Spray. Anything else simply isn't worthy.

I suspect I would cause a schism with my thoughts on raisins/sultanas in cakes (an abomination). But I feel a chant of 'cakes! But only nice cakes! No bloody raisins!' might be a bit unwieldy.

Put baking soda at the top of the list, it can be dual purpose Cillit Bang replacement and for the cakes.

What a rather glorious thread Smile

ArabellaScott · 18/09/2021 20:20

All thanks to our Glorious and Supreme Leader, MrsOverton. Who is most esteemed. If I can just try to remember who she/he is ...

Ekofisk · 18/09/2021 20:30

Do we need a leader?

I like the idea of a collective where there’s room for differing views on toilet brushes, weetabix and having your laundry darked on.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 18/09/2021 20:37

Washing lines, carbonara and cunts - what a thread ! (there's a sentence I never thought I'd type ) Grin

Now about this leader that everyone's forgotten ..... Confused . Have they been abandoned in the Bluestocking?

Anotheruser02 · 18/09/2021 20:43

Oh what about using language to obscure facts, like "real self" (which can't be based on reality about self) and "erasing peoples existence".
What's our equivalent?

'Women won't wheesht' when actually quite often to be perfectly honest I go for nearly a whole day saying very little at all?

Artichokeleaves · 18/09/2021 20:53

Gronda gronda Mrs Overton....

ArabellaScott · 18/09/2021 21:03

Now there's an idea. A nice potplant as Supreme Leader. Something large and intimidating like a yucca?

Dashinghaberdashery · 18/09/2021 21:10

Oh dear I just remembered my laundry outside, currently being darked on. Thanks for the reminder!

Congressdingo · 18/09/2021 21:19

Vaginal chanting is excellent for pelvic floor tone

I just snorted at this and, well I never got back my pelvic floor tone after pregnancies so umm yeah.

Who mentioned the banana and weetabix monstrosity? You are banished from the clan forthwith.

Well back in the days of the MN hate group + radicalisation portal I've an idea the notional leader was somebody who claimed:

I do live in a house made of confectionery and sweet baked goods. It's my hope that a couple of rosy cheeked youngsters lost in the forest will wander in, I shall enslave one, and the other shall be fattened for consumption.

Thank you for making me laugh, you bunch of vipers.

So...just to make sure I have the entry requirements down as a Cunty Cultist...
Cake and gin = good
Weetabix = bad

Our slogan is "women won't wheest and our uniform is a T-shirt saying "I love JKR."

I solemnly swear I am up to no good. I want links, evidence and the chance to read everything for myself.

Alternately, Weetabix = bad or Weetabix = No, thank you

You're also missing the neckerchief or other clothing item with a discreet viper pattern or the suffragette tartan.

BlackeyedSusan · 18/09/2021 22:11

I am sure there is a pot of Vim in the back of my mum's bathroom cupboard, somewhere. Ok it is probably rock hard and mouldy now and vintage 70's...

BlackeyedSusan · 18/09/2021 22:12

I prefer cake though, to be honest.

Whitefire · 18/09/2021 22:15

Weetabix cake?

Doog yrev!

ArabellaScott · 19/09/2021 09:46

We have so far identified as possible Supreme Leader: A talking yucca and/or the witch from Hansel and Gretel.

Do we have them fight it out? I'd suggest a vote but that doesn't seem very culty.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 19/09/2021 10:05

Randgo was an aspidistra surely? Good times
