I’m a man, and I’m straight up tired of hearing people talk negatively about feminism. It’s from both men, and women. But, women are easily the more ironic offenders in the situation, as they talk out loud, in public, with their own opinions.
Feminism is the belief that a woman is capable of, exactly what a man is capable of, and they deserve equal rights. Without it, there wouldn’t be women in university. There wouldn’t be women working, or walking alone in streets, without a man. She wouldn’t own land, or vote, or be considered a human being with rights, because this notion didn’t exist only 100 fucking years ago. And guess what? All you women, ALL of you, still don’t get payed, what a man gets payed, for doing the exact same job, in a professional work setting.
You’re all idiots, congratulations. —A guy within earshot

Methinks this is the Hidden Racism wallah?
I agree with Feminism. Women’s rights. Equal wages. The only thing women should not be allowed to do is drive and vote.
MORE LOGICAL CONFUSION
“But, as women are easily the more ironic offenders in the situation, as they talk out loud, in public, with their own opinions.” A guy within earshot
Of course, lacking a verb, this is not a sentence and so one must wonder about the poster’s mental functioning. One’s wondering is confirmed by his subsequent claim to the effect that “Feminism is the belief that a woman is capable of exactly what a man is capable of, and deserves equal rights.” But this is being self-contradictory. Regardless of how you define “ironic offenders,” if a man is capable of talking out loud, in public, with his opinions as you seem to suppose, then why isn’t a woman? Doesn’t she deserve her equal rights as well?
In addition to your punctuation and syntax, you must also try to improve the quality of your logic.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
“Feminism is the belief that a woman is capable of exactly what a man is capable of, and deserves equal rights” – But The Captain can pee standing up, and a woman can’t, sooo…. men and women aren’t capable of the same things?
Also, one’s capabilities should not be the justification for whether or not they deserve rights.
Some of them want to be equal until you tell them to get on the other end of a couch or dresser to move it somewhere. If ANYONE wants to be EQUAL they have to take the bad with the good.
“ALL of you, still don’t get payed, what a man gets payed, for doing the exact same job, in a professional work setting. “
I do. And so do many other women. We’re way ahead of you, in fact. We don’t need a cheering section, just stand aside because we’re already doing it for ourselves.
A distinction I’ve mentioned on another thread that no one seems to aknowledge is difference feminism and equality feminism.
OP is talking about equality feminism which I agree with. Equal rights for men and woman.
Difference feminism is the view that men are Biological rapists who want to control everything and are the reason for every human caused problem on the planet, and that woman have to take over (I don’t agree AT ALL with this view). Besides being false in it’s view of men, it tends to be loudly voiced just as religious fanatics tend to be loud with their views as well.
Gee OB, I didn’t know that females of equal rank in the military, police departments, or holding the same position with governments or even big business get a different pay. These days most positions are for public display.
Feminism originated as a movement striving for equality between the sexes and, in doing so had to make inroads into male dominated areas. Police, military, management etc. Taking power away from a paternal society, which is necessary if women were to achieve equality or equal citizen status, means many are going to interpret that as anti-male. Many men interpreted tough strident women as ball-breakers. I believe the word “feminist” was used by the media to mean “anti-male” over time and many women started to back away from calling themselves that for this reason.
Though the ideals of feminism were radical in the fifties and sixties, it shouldn’t be now.
I’m all for equal rights, but I do miss having a gentleman open the door for me…Guess I’m an old school romantic at heart *sigh*
Where I work a job category for a supervisor is dependent on contract budget
Every supervisor no matter which dept or what their sex makes the same amount an hour , gets the same benifits.Samething for 2nds, same for employees , age , sex, race means nothing . the only thing that changes that ,is special skills an operator of a forklift (for example) will make more than a hand & if the upgrade is only for the day then no matter sex etc that’s what they get. You do a job the rates guaranteed
I would sing for Nurse Hezz.
Don’t you remember, Oh Ultimate One. WE DID sing for Nurse Hezz, at the last summit ♥

*Disclaimer: Not exactly as illustrated
And Nurse – I still hold doors open for people. It’s called courtesy, not patriarchy and it will take more than a collective of sexually frustrated brush-cut wearing she-orcs to make me abandon good manners.
And , to address Reg’s comment ( I too welcome you back, good sir) about how “Many men interpreted tough strident women as ball-breakers.” all I can say is that 5 decades have taught me that that far too many wimmin make the same mistake as all too many men. They conflate being strong with being a boor. In this, at least, they have achieved the equality to which they felt entitled.
CORRECTION!
Compare the following two sentences:
“But, women are easily the more ironic offenders in the situation, as they talk out loud, in public, with their own opinions.” A guy within earshot
and
“But, as women are easily the more ironic offenders in the situation, as they talk out loud, in public, with their own opinions.” (“More Logical Confusion,” Montrealman, 12/21, 3:33PM)
Mistakenly, in transcribing the sentence I added another “as” to the first part – perhaps I was confused by the ungrammatical flurry of commas – and on that basis claimed that the sentence was not, in fact, a sentence. I was wrong and apologize to “A guy within earshot”.
However, my logical point still stands. While claiming that feminism is the belief that a woman “deserves equal rights,” a belief with which he agrees, the poster simultaneously maintains that such rights stop at talking out loud, in public and with their own opinions, a right clearly reserved for males and one which the poster – out loud, in public and with his own opinions – exercises without restraint in the course of his bitch.
Just wanted to clear that up.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
” ALL of you, still don’t get payed, what a man gets payed, for doing the exact same job”
I’m sure I get paid more than you because I can actually spell the word paid, dummy!
“Just wanted to clear that up.” – Montrealman
Yes, very good .. did you take care of the dishes too?
Females are equal beings to males upon this planet for one simple reason: one gender does not survive without the other.
While equal rights between genders has not yet been globally achieved, thank goodness western women demanded rights as persons some 100 years ago or so and got THAT ball rolling. The path is not easy nor is it complete but we, as a gender, are getting there. Both genders need only accept one truth. As a human being, it is a girl’s natural born right to exist in the same state of natural autonomy as that which her male counterpart enjoys.
Captain: you DO know that it IS anatomically possible for women to urinate while standing, right? We PREFER to do this while sitting as it is less messy. Men should try this too to avoid wearing overspray on trouser legs.
“thank goodness western women demanded rights as persons some 100 years ago or so and got THAT ball rolling.”
And now you have Sex and the City, leggings instead of pants, Ke$ha, and WWE’s Total Divas.
Agree w/ oceanchick…. men should sit to piss and you’d think they’d evolve to WIPE with toilet paper so they can avoid that funky wet spot on the front of their briefs. Fucking animals.

Buddha, that was marvelous, just an excellent jest. Have you ever tried stand up?
A pleasure as always.

Which Ballad would you sing, oh Ultimate one? 🙂
And Ivan, wasn’t that flash mob tribute amazing?? I wish I knew what they were saying
Take My Breath Away by Berlin or Turn Out the Lights by Teddy Pendergrast.
Yes indeed, Nurse. I tear up every time I watch it.

And while Ultimate Biscuit is singing Take My Breath Away I’ll be doing low level Mach 2 passes in my F-14.
Now THAT’S romantic.
“Have you ever tried stand up?”- Montrealman
No … Oceanchick says it’s messy, and I can believe it!
Animals indeed, no_fool. They’re just damn lucky they are required to perpetuate the species.
I couldn’t tell either way. That long winded comment of mine wasn’t addressed specifically to you past the first paragraph; I was more or less on top of the hill yelling to the trees or something like that.
Oops wrong thread ha

Once again, be soooo glad you’re gay.
Merry Christmas my dear Nurse Hezz, and yes I have a recording of many songs.
Merry Christmas to you Bro Tim! And Merry Christmas to all of you amazing bitchers! Xoxo!
*TMZ Announcer voice* “She’s such a nice lady.
….and totally HAWT!”
Merry Christmas to you as well, Nurse Hezz.
Bro Tim records himself singing to pass the time when he’s stuck in chimneys.
I no longer go into chimneys because when I came out of them, covered in soot, people called me racist.
I want to wish ALL bitchers a happy and joyous holiday, be happy, be safe and enjoy…..Sorry Ivan…Santa told me there’s no way in hell an F-14 Tomcat will fit in your chimney…even if taken apart…then you’d need an assembly manual lol.
That’s okay Klydester. With my eyesight I couldn’t even fly for Al Qaeda. If you’re working over the next couple of days I hope the only people you encounter are smiling and with interesting stories to tell. If you’re hunkered down with a buzzard in the oven and a stable of “Two Horsies” in the fridge then may dreams of of sunny days and wide open blacktop dance in your head.
I usually wait until late Christmas Eve to post my annual message, but you and Nurse Hezz and Ossifer Tim and Ultimate Biscuit have put me in the mood, for which I thank you all.

I never did finish the 4 Dos X’s I had….I’ll hunker down tonight with wood stove and imbibe sessoned with a few herbs….my buzzards goose will be cooked sometime tomorrow or next day….wish Montrealman would bring his carcass and his ascot down….we could rehearse for upcoming CTC commercials as the 2 fossils in easy chairs,lol.
Sounds awesome. I have to venture out this morning in search of a shrimp ring, but otherwise we are all set for either Hans Gruber or Old Saint Nick to show up. Cold bevvies in the fridge, leg of lamb reclining luxuriantly in his marinade, The Countess attempting to conceal herself beneath the tree, I’m putting the finishing touches on an Airfix 1/72 scale Typhoon Eurofighter, and am currently engrossed in John Buntin’s “L.A. Noir” which formed the factual basis for A&E’s superb mini-series “Mob City”
Hope ALL you other Bitchers are having a great Christmas as well.
Tell the Countess SOBova Klyde says Happy Holidays…..hope all goes well in your quest for shrimps.

Many thanks for your kind wishes – “the upcoming CTC commercials”? – but it will be Montreal for me over the holidays.
However, in the spirit of Christmas, I have just posted a new avatar featuring the Altar Boys Society of Saint Mary’s Basilica of which I was one. A handsome lad, I must say.
Merry Christmas!

And of course you can’t have a Canadian Christmas without this song:
