    Feminism isn't a dirty word but egalitarianism is cleaner

    Aye but we have at least established that our own Dark crystal is Fcuking Nuts(tm)(medical term) and happily admits it, so that's a result I feel. We could set up a support thread where she gets the help she needs. Apparently this boils down to an all expenses paid trip to Milan with plenty of moola for drink, food and shopping. Seems legit.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    If you're offerin', I'm a takin'!

    ....Unless this is all a patriarchal conspiracy to get rid of me, in which case, I'll still take it, but begrudgingly.

    Leaving men like me at home to mind the shop!

    Hell, I'm a cheaper date: Wibbs can take me to the pub and feed me a couple of pints while you mind the shop.

    See? I knew it! Feminists, a bunch of freeloading bastards the lot of them. :mad: Though PB being a cheaper option does appeal I have to say... It seems this cheapskate fascist is for turning.

    *goes on the List. Come the revolution...* Sod Milan. Maybe Galway, though maybe not as they're a bunch of hedonists, so may cost more. So yea, I'm going with PB and a couple of pints. And when I say a couple I mean two.

    This is getting a little weird ;)

    Oh, I know my place all right. It's just not where you think it is.

    Maybe a drink would help? Wibbs is buying.

    Alright but I'm not heading to any kind of... "aftersesh" with the three of ye ;)

    No worries; I have a holiday to pack for, Wibbs is an utter lightweight and PB has to get up early to open shop, so no aftersesh for us.

    Best thing is how we can't bring up examples of closed threads on this site. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,232 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Just you've never seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

    Fuck it, go look anywhere on Tumblr for more examples. I am already bored.

    And? I know many many feminists both female and male who would be abhorrent at that. Its completely absurd and untrue to suggest all feminists are mysabdrists.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I don't see feminist bashing on an almost continuous basis.

    :pac: :pac: .

    Whats this thread then?

    Only if your a cis white male. Then your scum.

    Tumblr is nutz thought. Headmates, otherkin, furrys, thin privilege ableism. Just crazy stuff.

    It is hilarious to read some of the stuff girls write on Tumblr. I'm sure some are mentally ill, others just have a bad case of special snowflake syndrome.

    A lot of feminists keep ranting about equality, and yet want to void men of more rights... hypocrites much? Most of them are nothing than a show of misandry...

    I could easily compare it to Muslims wanting to impose their laws in other countries, and those countries have to summit to their laws in their own countries.

    One way street...

    If tumblr was anything like real life I'd be living on the moon. A few people do not represent everyone and it's the same with feminism. Rad fems are a small minority (I still laugh at the all hetero sex is rape theory they have). While I mightn't agree with feminism=gender equality, I'm all for women trying to get better rights for women!

    Hmmm...what rights are the average feminist trying to take away from men?

    When did all these terms come to parlence? I looked up otherkin there. Fruit and nutters running around thinking that they are squirrels and sh*t. Jaysus.

    They want to oppress men to "not do this, don't do that", these women would take incredible offense merely for looking at them.

    To them, all men are rapists... just like how society are treating all men being potential paedophiles where a man interacting with a kid has become taboo...

    Not sure when exactly. The last number of years, mostly on Tumblr.

    Wow, that's quite the rant! How many of these women do you encounter during any given day? I for one certainly don't view my son as a potential rapist or paedophile.

    Now again, what examples can you give me of the average feminist looking to void men's rights?

    Just look at the countless feminist videos or bloggers on the net... especially after the whole "GamerGate" thing, and that video of your woman walking 10 hours.


    I'm all for equality, but these feminists portray anything but... there is nothing "equal" when they want to oppress.

    As an example, that video with the 10 hour walking... to many of their logic, it's okay for women to look at men, but men looking at women is piggish behaviour... in what context in that line of thought even warrants branding that as "equality" ? You want equality, you bring yourself up in par. Just like salaries, a woman should have the same as a man's of the same job... but with their logic, the man's salary should be lowered to the woman's while they want to have the man's salary.
