I, myself, am not a particularly aggressive feminist, but I found such the grooviest qoute that I *had* to post it...


"I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." - Rebecca West, 1913

Phoenix
And, not to be a man-basher, but this one totally sums up my dad...

"How many roads must a man walk down, before he admits he is lost?"

pheminisits are women who ***** and moan about how hard they have it because of men. they are a stupid bunch.

yerssot
wouldn't go that far, but for the girls I know who claim they are feminist it's always like:
"oh! you descriminate! ******* ******* ******* *****!!!!"
and then when they have to do stuff we do it's like:
"Hey! I can't do that! I'm a woman not a man!"

but that will change when they grow up, I hope ... in the next 50 years

BackFire349
yes, they always claim to want equal rights, but always want special treatment at the same time. like i said, a stupid bunch.

yerssot
no! not all of them! just those I know!

LaurenE147
Feminism is the movement that started in the mid nineteenth century to gain suffrage and equal opportunities. Some women do take it too far, though.

Corran
I have nothing wrong with equal rights eg same work - same pay, same promotion oppportunities, but it goes too far the other way, I have to dress smart, a suit, shirt, tie oh and shoes, so why do the women not have to wear a suit and blouse at least, it could be a trouser or skirt suit I don't care, but some of the women I work with wear 3/4 trousers with skanky Tee shirts, or bright flowery shit. what would they say if I came into the office wearing one of my bright surf shirts?

Equal rights should mean EQUAL.

yerssot
think they would point and laugh wink

LaurenE147
over-active feminism like that is just like afirmative action. It's wrong. I don't think formerly oppressed minorities should get special treatment. It'll never lead to true equality.

Corran
Oh and another thing, the feminist think they should not be treated any differently, but as soon as a male does not hold the door open for them to walk ahead they complain about it. I don't see any of these feminist holding the door to allow me to walk through first - although some non-feminist do just so they can blimp at my bottom as I walk past big grin.

yerssot
that's what you get when you work out wink

LaurenE147
I can't help it that I'm like that. My mother has been tellling me that boys should hold the door open for me since I was born! I am a sad product of my environment. *hangs head in shame*

Corran
oh and another thing, feminism sucks right! so why don't they?? surely theres something wrong there? I mean I am sure they would he happy for, well you know what, EQUALITY.

yerssot
I think corran isn't really happy about this thread ...

Corran
I am not getting at you, I hold the door open all the time, it's just some of my friends don't and you get some women expecting it and humpphing and the feminist humhhhing if you do do it, we just can't win.

Corran
Women, can't live with them, can't kill them. roll eyes (sarcastic)

LaurenE147
if you don't have Gil grissom as the CSI on your case you could.

Ushgarak
But where ARE all these feminists then? Every girl I meet says they are not an over-active feminist, that they think such extremist views are wrong, that they want TRUE equality not special treatment...

I am beginning to suspect they are a myth. We hear a bout a few loonies in the papers and the idea comes along that they are everywhere.

yerssot
only one way out corran ...

LaurenE147
opening the door for me!

yerssot
no, moving to a country which doesn't have any women rights what so ever

LaurenE147
I don't think you want to go to Afghanistan.

yerssot
nothing much left there after someone was kind enough to bomb the entire country to smithereens because that someone felt like it

LaurenE147
no politics in the General forum *puts hands over ears*

yerssot
and you were the one who started talking about afghanistan

LaurenE147
because it didn't give women rights and you were talking about countries that didn't give women rights.

yerssot
were you there on the spot?

BackFire349
i always hold the door open for people, male and female.

LaurenE147
I hold the door open for my friends and my elders.

GordonSkywalker
I have been taught to open doors for ladies of all ages. Cute girls and older women alike.

mechmoggy
Women will moan about anything that us men do or don't do for them. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Why the other day Mrs.MM had a good old moan about me not "suprising" her anymore, now that we've been married for nearly 3 years.

So imagine her "suprise" when I threw a tin of soup at the back of her head in Tesco's last night. Oooh how we laughed in the managers office.....

Member.
hm...feminism...

Phoenix
In personally believe in TOTAL equal rights - men should be able to do whatever women do and have whatever women have (with the exception of tampons!) and vice versa.

Like, there was this reeeely fit dude, who was wearing this groovy skirt, not cos it was a kilt, not cos he was transvestite, but because it looked cool. Men should be allowed to do that. I mean, I'm not called 'Tranny!' cos I wear trousers am I?

yerssot
I just hold the door open if someones behind me, not only for friends but for everyone

Corran
laughing out loud Most excellent dude.

Ushgarak
Phoenix wears trousers? FREAK! Get back indoors, put a skirt on and do my dinner and the washing up...

mechmoggy
Thanks Corran, asual my my jokes don't get past you. big grin

I'll come clean though, I stole that joke from this months Loaded magazine. I nearly soiled myself when I read it and thought I'd see who else appreciated its genius. laughing out loud

BackFire349
well heres something all the feminists will enjoy... i went to a strip club today, i paid women to dance on my lap and exploit their bodies for profit. good times.

mechmoggy
*Wipes tear from eye*

Aaaaaah, great days.

Corran
It's even better if they cry whilst dancing for you. laughing out loud

mechmoggy
Thats sick.

laughing out loud

LaurenE147
I think it's kind of wierd when a guy wears a skirt that isn't a kilt. messed

Ushgarak
Well, it IS weird. Because people do not do it so we see it as odd. The question is, why SHOULD we not do it?

Corran
Tex does it all the time.

LaurenE147
If it did happen alot it wouldn't be so wierd. but it'll always be wierd in my lifetime.

Gundark
Not only do I want you to hold open that door for me I want you to get some glass cleaner and clean it too ! laughing out loud laughing out loud

Corran
And then back to the kitchen I suppose?

Gundark
Yes, you troll. Spit spot !! laughing out loud

Corran
There's no way I am going back to the bedroom again, not after the humiliating things you made me do last time, I didn't even think some of those where possible.

Gundark
*puts hands over ears*

LALALALALALALAALALALALALALALALAAAAAA

finti
I hate that LALALALA song

Corran
Yeah, thats right just ignore me. You don't call me anymore, you never answer my calls, you delete my emails without reading them let alone ever answer them, never PM me and I know you read them cos I have PM Tracking on them, I suppose you also just tear up and throw out my letters like yu did my heart, you put me down in front of our friends, you even crossed the street to avoid me yestersday don't think I didn't see you, you never go the same places you used to just to avaoid me.
You just used me and abused me, chewed me up and spat me out, you took what you wanted and then moved on.
Did you think I was just one of your belongings you could toss aside when finished with? well I am not I am a caring, feeling human being made of flesh and blood, and you just loved me and left me, you broke my heart and deceived me.
And so you're back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face. I should have changed my f$%^&%g lock. I would have made you leave your key If I'd have known for just one second You'd be back to bother me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart.
I'm trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.

And you'll see me with somebody new.
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you.
And so you thought you'd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free.
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me.

Oh now go.
Walk out the door.
Just turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh not I.

I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
