Fat white men with nothing on their minds except a hot bath, a private pull and an occasional thrill of the improbable-so comforting. Let's see, John McCain?, Bonerhead? Karl Rove?
Who the fuck watches this crap?

If you have a problem with the way some men are treated, I suggested you look to feminist scholars who pointed out that ALL of us are subjected to those who rule; rather than blame women for your plight.
If, in fact, women, especially those who speak out, were your problem, you'd be dead. Based on the crap I've read on the mra boards and limgaugh's dittoheads.
We have been trying to tell you that the systems in place fuck over all of us. You don't lose rights because women, or "blacks" or "others" gain theirs. You lose your rights because some "men" are useful idiots to the 1%.

Oh wait! There aren't enough women to talk about barren.
Nevermind. Impotence it is. Consider me a "male bashing" radfem, feminazi.
By the way, can you tell me what is the sex of the dominant majority who runs this planet? You know, the military leaders, the political leaders, the social leaders, the "religious" leaders? Oh, and before you show me the exceptions, show me the history of the planet and who has run it into the shit in which we live today.

Well mannered women do not make history; and in some cases, don't live very long.
Why do you buy their frame?
quinnox
(20,600 posts)then its fine to bash men. Good for you. Bash away. Great philosophy you got there. So about your crack about being well-mannered, I suppose that means you think its better to be rude to make your point.

Now you want to check my lady-like manners or lack thereof. Oh, and my age? Seriously?
You're pixels on a screen on a political board that works "within the system" and you think you're cool. Go post at reddit. The mras have a subreddit for you.
Good luck.
quinnox
(20,600 posts)And I'm the one who is the problem. I bet if the situations were reversed, and someone called you Babe or Honey, you would blow your stack. Yea, and I was just curious about your age. You didn't have to say exactly of course, over 30 or over 40 or over 50 would do.
And tell me what name I called you. I didn't call you any names.
[div class=excerpt"]'Consider me a "male bashing" radfem, feminazi.'
Fine. You sound proud of it.
I take the names called me of the ultra-conservative and say "GODDAMNED RIGHT!". Why does that bother you? I should be more feminine? Er, lady like?
It's pretty simple, the honey part. You see, I was one of the first women to tend bar in the Vegas casinos. We were called honey, ho, cunt, bitch, useless, and the every euphemistic, "too stupid to be a bartender" crap. I have had my breasts discussed as real or fake, my intelligence discussed as non-existent, while I was in the room, and the fact that my red hair made me more or less of a cock-sucking whore.
I was the first micro-computer specialist in my field, in my state, male or female. I've had "geeks" discuss whether or not I was worthy or being a "fellow" geek.
Now I get to read on a "progressive" board about us uber evil feminists and I'm supposed to just fall in line with the right wing talking points.
No.
I don't think so.
quinnox
(20,600 posts)So I take it when you said you were one of the first women to tend bar in a casino, we are talking the 1960s? Do you have any pics of that time in the casino, I like historical pictures.

Why do you play thread monitor, you know you can't control what people want to talk about in a thread, that is poor form.

(20,600 posts)I repeat, you have no power to control how people respond to your threads and what new directions the thread could go in as a result, and you can take that to the bank.
Cerridwen
(13,260 posts)You believe the mra shit that women took control of the world in the 1970s?
You can see we took control of the world since motherhood is a paid profession in the world of credit-ratings=worth crowd, and that child care is now universally known as as a human right, and women are honored with Nobel prizes and rape is almost as disgusting as incest, and violence against women is in every country's constitution, and health care is universally accepted as a human right and poverty, which affects women in disproportionate numbers has been cured world wide and women's uterit have solidified from our exposure to higher education and women are no longer pro-creating and so on and so forth.
Oh, yeah, and if you're reading the mra boards, HILLARY CLINTON RULES the world...or not.

(20,600 posts)The 1980s, so you are younger than I had thought. Can you tell me what you mean by "mra", I don't know what you are talking about with that reference.

First, trigger alert. That's what we radfem types try to do when we know those reading may read the words and have to re-live their experience; i.e., it's a form of PTSD.

(20,600 posts)now I understand what you are talking about. That is a pretty horrible website, I must admit. I'm with you there.
Cerridwen
(13,260 posts)That is the type of crap many of us fight every day in our lives.
Please understand that.
It's ugly; scarey; dangerous. When you see the anger, please recognize one of the sources. There are, unfortunately, many more sources.

MichiganVote
(21,086 posts)And I think that men who don't get that and men who don't object to that sad fact today are vulgar. But if this offends your sensitivities, shove off. No one requires you to take part in the discussion about Sunday morning "news" shows and the fact that women other than Bachman and a couple of others-- are not included. And now they are banned from a legislative floor for the use of the word vagina? That's BS.
They routinely place the same women with the same polarizing views on these GOP PR shows.

(13,260 posts)I think of you often. Ya, I know, it's just pixels on a screen.
We have two senior dogs. We have "lost" one over the past couple of years. And a senior horse and a senior goat. Another friend lost a dog and another lost a horse.
"Silly", isn't it? I think of your pixels on a screen as a vet who takes care of our four-leggers.
You are my hero...hera. Whatever. You care for "the least among us."
