A Crash Course in Feminism Mk. II (or, why everyone should be a feminist)

As for gender role reversal, I'm all for more cat-calls and getting my *** grabbed. I could do with the self-esteem boost :P

I've been on the receiving end of that, and it's not necessarily the boost you think it'll be. It all depends on who it's coming from. It's from someone you consider attractive, it's great. If it's from someone you find repulsive and/or sleazy, it's not so much fun.

But education equating to liberation isn't.
This particular issue most definitely is, and the global status of gender equality is too, but the fear of the powerful that the dis-empowered will become powerful is not gender specific.

Oh that, yes, dictators and tyrannical regimes always fear the people they oppress.

No but you would if it were a couple of guys you knew from work.

A more fitting analogy would be if a couple of women from work, treated you like an object and forced you to do things that were completely against your will and fundamentally violated you.
Men find it hard to think of sex acts with women in this way, but i'm pretty sure a woman could do enough to make poor Splodge feel that way if she put her mind to it.

I know, i was being daft and flippant.

They tried at one firm once. But I put my foot down and said I wasn't doing the washing up if they weren't doing the heavy lifting...

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what that means.

[Psychosplodge]

It means exactly as it says.

I was sent this last night, worth watching just to see how ridiculously patriarchal some men are:

Favourite quote "Is the loss of our daughters purity worth them getting a degree they will probably never use?". Yes, yes it is. ****er.

The sexism is OFF the chart.

And this is coming from a campaign running for United States Senate.

It's like the guy thinks it's 1953, not 2013.
