Feminism Thread

Because a little boldness might get me the woman of my dreams. Also, I'm not a mind reader.

Also, bold =/= aggressive.

me me me me me me me

The doctor is providing a service when he sticks his finger in my asshole. He knows better than to ask me about the weather or weekend plans

A barber is not likely to have to tell you you have cancer or a loved one has died, I don't believe you are so dumb as to not see the differences here. And having a finger up your ass is a long distance from cutting your hair.

These things are literally the basics of human social interactions. IDK how you people manage to wake up every day if the thought of someone saying hello to you or making small talk in social environments puts you in heat flashes of anger and annoyance.

Are you addressing me or the broads that are on the rag when when you try to spit some game their way?

[Rhinox]

I'm confused now



Whole lot of victim blaming going on here.

[hey]

If you don't want to talk to your barber, why not just say that? Or just not talk back. They usually get the hint. A lot of people prefer to talk, to pass the time, if you don't want to, just let them know, and i'm sure they won't mind.

I prefer not to upset someone who has a pair of shears so close to my neck. I usually give in cause I don't know what would happen if I said something to her.

You mean like what to do if someone says, "hi," while passing you by on the street?

Just a thought: If there's a thousand tiny exceptions to your rule... your rule probably sucks.

I can't imagine them being upset because you don't want to talk.

As if these are even remotely comparable.

Talking to someone you reasonably believe may be interested in talking is fine. For example, someone who you are currently interacting with already is likely to want to talk.

Let's turn the page, with a real feminist video I can actually get behind.

Honestly though, if I was a black woman, I'd be so pissed all the time

So we're in agreement then that "hi" or "god bless" are not harassment. The woman in the video did just as you indicated by not responding. The guys who followed/kept at it were definitely harassing though.

Are we comparing conversations with the barber you voluntarily choose to frequent with hollering at bitches on the street, and people are taking this comparison seriously?

[archibaldcrane]

I can, however, see why some people are reluctant to identify as feminist.

I'm also confused that people started to discuss this seriously, I thought he was making the comparison as a joke....

Never underestimate the ability of BGers to intentionally miss the point.

So Lena dunham wrote a book... in which that perverted bitch describes how she was in sexual conduct with her sister.
Now she threatens to sue a the Website for quoting her book and labeling her a sick bitch.

The answer from Truthrevolt:

We refuse. We refuse to withdraw our story or apologize for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a “false” story, even if she is a prominent actress and left-wing activist. Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like.

Full article:
Lena Dunham theatens to sue Truth Revolt for quoting her.

Why would she write that disgusting crap in her book anyway? I don't recall anyone i know saying "fuck yeah, sister-lickin-good"

maybe Lena read too much of this sick stuff:

The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could, in which a woman recalls memories of traumatic sexual experiences in her childhood and a self-described "positive healing" sexual experience in her adolescent years with an older woman. This particular skit has sparked outrage, numerous controversies and criticisms due to its content, among which the most famous is the Robert Swope controversy. In the original version, she is 13, but later versions would change her age to 16. It also originally included the line, "If it was rape, it was a good rape", which was removed from later versions.
