Hard to believe, but apparently even feminists can be sexy … : Comments

By Audrey Apple, published 3/1/2008

'Zoo' magazine’s latest stunt is designed not to, as it argues, appease critics but to poke fun at women who disagree with their childish behaviour.

Run along now Timmy. There's adults talking about, you know - big people's stuff here.

Don't you have a Wiggles DVD you can watch or something?

Don't you just looove these gender 'debate' sites? Lots and lots of blokes with serious women issues. Lots of baggage there!

For most of us women it gets enormously tiresome to be repeatedly beaten over the head with the same bleatings, and I mean exactly the same, by characters like HRS. You have discovered the copy and paste buttons on your tool-bar haven't you? And may I respectfully suggest you stop fanatically reading all those magazines? Take a good book with you next time you are at the doctor's.

You can tell some men that you regard yourself a feminist and adore men, but that will be vehemently refuted. Alas, some of us are only female and cannot really understand the finer points of what it means to be a human being, let alone understand what we feel or experience as a woman.

Romany, will you and Botheration have little tassles on the nipple caps? I would so love to know how to swing those in opposite directions. Sorry, fellows, don't get jealous I know you can't participate being a boy and all, this is strictly womens business.

Boy aren't these most recent posts are dripping with sarcastic comments.

Yvonne, I guess some little girls just never do not grow up.

This was interesting HRS: in a sarcastic manner you said "Judge, I can’t be accused of gossip, profanity or the maligning of men and boys."

The issue here is, that none of these things are a crime. In fact, sometimes they can be quite amusing.

But only when thin-skinned people take them seriously.

I finally pinned down why your posts seem childish HRS - it's because most men don't give a damn about these minor things. There are far more important things to worry about.

No doubt you're envisioning some society where men are hard done by, and feminist indoctrination is absolute.

Truth is, men occupy most of the senior positions in society. Many may have been subject to the fringe feminist agendas of which you speak.

Most have the good sense to realise that this is only a fringe phenomenon.

Quite frankly, most guys just deal with it and move on. It makes them stronger people, and they can realise that this is a mindset that affects a small portion of the female population.

Just as things like violence or misogyny affect a small portion of males.

But like I said. Most of us realise that life's too short to nitpick ridiculous things, like lighthearted JOKE! headings such as boys are made of snips and snails etc.

As for the rest of us, we'll give a lighthearted chuckle and move on.

I rue the day where a majority of men take stupid things like that seriously or behave like wailing victims at the slightest slur.

Yvonne, Turnrightthenleft.
In my posts there has been no profanity, no gossip, and no maligning of men or boys.

Perhaps you think this is unusual or abnormal in some way, and would much prefer to read more feminist literature, such as in Audrey Apple’s blogsite.

Actually, yes, HRS, I would.

Not because I'm seeking profanity, but you just provided another example of the humourless victimhood that takes these matters far too seriously.
