You are doing feminism wrong... AGAIN!

[boston bean]

tsk tsk tsk.

When will we ever learn!



Love you women and men here in the group! Hope you are all enjoying the holidays! And my wish is for a wonderful new year for you all!

[geek tragedy]

1. Women who kept their mouths shut and studiously avoided offending men

aren't the pillars of women's rights and feminism?

[boston bean]

2. no one should ever presume to tell anyone what it is like to be a woman in America today.

It's god damned insulting, I say! LOL

[geek tragedy]

3. If I want to know what women think, I'll ask a man, thank you nt

[boston bean]

4. LOL...

[PassingFair]

8. Or just check in with the "Feminists" room.

That's where male feminists in-the-know, go!

[boston bean]

9. Yes, they are the real feminists

discussing how stupid feminism is, how there is no patriarchy, how women hate men, how feminists are right wing whack jobs.

LOL You are too funny!

[redqueen]

12. Hey you!

Nice to see you around

[PassingFair]

15. Happy Holidays, RedQueen!

And all here in HOF and across the board who fight for the
dignity and humanity of ourselves and our daughters!

[redqueen]

17. Happy Holidays to you too PassingFair!

And to all who address the unfinished business of the 21st century!

[geek tragedy]

16. Don't you dare act ungrateful to such allies--their sporadic support for women's equality

is a huge sacifice!

[PassingFair]

23. I AM grateful!

"Feminists" ....where a girl can be a girl.
And a guy can back them up!

So how come nobody's there?

I'll stop now.

[xulamaude]

24. Eecchhoo cchhaammbbeerr!!

[hlthe2b]

5. And, very happy holidays to you, as well, BB

Our best weapon is our determination (and an ability to still "laugh" through our irritation)...I'd say we have that in spades.

[boston bean]

20. well, I don't think our determination is appreciated by some, but it does keep us going!

[xulamaude]

6. Well that's because

I'm a woman.

Like, duh!

[boston bean]

21. d'oh!

should have remembered that myself!

[Squinch]

7. Happy, happy holidays to all on HoF, and to all on DU!

[boston bean]

22. Squinch, give me some love, make me laugh!

[Squinch]

28. Oh, I don't know! My stomach still hurts from yesterday!

But here is one for you that seems horrible but is actually so, so funny!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[Texasgal]

10. Happy Holidays to you Boston!!!

Are you actually in Boston? I'm going on a work related trip at the end of January, maybe we can meet up for coffee or dinner?

[boston bean]

11. I'm close enough! I'd love to.

I've often wondered if people in the group here would ever be up for a meet.

[Texasgal]

14. I'll have to get back with you when the time

gets closer. I still am not sure what hotel we are staying in. This convention they usually put us downtown places.

Sounds like a date!

[boston bean]

18. Sure thing.. let me know.

[redqueen]

[bench scientist]

[boston bean]

36. good luck with that!

I hope it goes swimmingly!

[grahamhgreen]

37. Feminism without femininity is just patriarchy by another name, IMHO.

Seriously, what do you think?

Be gentle, lol!

[boston bean]

38. Me, I think... bub bye.

[NuclearDem]

40. Apparently I'm doing manhood wrong.

Sorry ladies, apparently I've only been a feminist to impress the feminist ladies. Just part of being a race trai--uh, white knight.

[boston bean]

41. I see a guy get labeled like that and I say, he's got it going on! He knows and gets it.

[boston bean]

42. PS we had a one hit wonder who is now banned from DU

make his one and only post here in HoF attacking you, mr. scorpio and geek tragedy, other male allies, here is the text...

Why do I get such a Hugo Schwyzer vibe from geek tragedy, NuclearDem, MrScorpio, and the rest of the White Knight contingent on here? Trying to ingratiate yourselves by telling them what you know they want to hear....it's so pathetic and insincere. Really sickening to watch and I can't believe people are gullible enough to be taken in by it.

[cinnabonbon]

56. Ugh Hugo Schwyzer

didn't he sleep with his students and blog about how he wanted to kill his (then) girlfriend because she had been raped (and in his mind, apparently better off dead)? The guys we have here are much better than him. :/

[BainsBane]

43. Yeah, evidently it has nothing to do with a commitment to equality or human rights

How sad they think men incapable of such principles.

[boston bean]

44. Mornin Bains...

[BainsBane]

45. Merry Christmas to you too, Boston Bean!

[ismnotwasm]

46. Why would you want to impress us?

Apparently we are all unattractive, overweight, bitter, harridans right?

No percentage in it. They need to trim their logic tree.

[NuclearDem]

47. Jamie Kilstein had a bit about that. About 3:25 in.

[redqueen]

48. Holy shit that was good.

Do you want to post it in an OP or should I?

[NuclearDem]

49. Go for it!

[redqueen]

50. I put it up in V&M

Didn't want to be accused of tryna start WWIII

Hope your night is going well ND, I'm fixin to get started on these trimmings. 32 minutes till Dr. Who!

[ismnotwasm]

53. That was great!

[Scootaloo]

52. "Manhood"? Well, there's your problem!

It's "man hoodie" - easy mistake.

[Scootaloo]

51. Damn, I knew it!

Oh well. Back to the drawing board. Maybe if we go ahead and agree that Pi really does equal three, we'll get this done...

[Deep13]

54. Wait, what am I doing wrong?

[BainsBane]

55. You don't declare yourself under attack often enough

by the horrible feminists who reveal our "hatred" for men by suggesting that women be treated as equal human beings.

[Deep13]

58. So, I'm not making shit up, I guess.

The funny thing is, I've never felt like feminist women were attacking either me personally or even men in general. I always understood the criticism to be directed at a patriarchal power structure and at men who refuse or somehow cannot see that.

Frankly, I don't like being manipulated by that power structure into perpetuating the oppression of women, so I resist it whenever I am aware of it.
