C.J Morgan wants to talk about people and not to them (ie. gossip), so could you answer this question.

If a feminist states that males are “slime and snails” or “meatheads”, then how is this acting in the interests of women?

Also do feminists find great joy in writing or reading that “boys are made of slime and snails” and men are “meatheads”, (when no one has ever proven that boys are made of slime and snails or men are meatheads)?

HRS, I'm not no-one, I'm some-one and I am here to tell you that boys are made of slime and snails. Though, admittedly not all, but then they probably were gay.

And I know for a fact that there are a number of male meatheads about. I've met a few and had to tell them this horrible truth. Not that it brought about an epiphany on their part. They are still meatheads. You should have heard their profane language in return. Sorry, I'm not going to repeat it, my post would surely be deleted. Suffice to say, I'm sure you would not want to be lumped together with brothers who set such shocking examples of manliness to the little woman, even though they were decidedly not gay.

Now you've heard it from some-one. I'm sure you can ask just about any-one to verify the truth of the above.

Can't tell you if all feminists love reading about the theory that boys are made of slime and snails and meathead men, but this one did.

No, HRS, I do not hate men. I love them. Never could get the hots for other feminists, but there are any number of non-meathead men I find quite irresistible.

HRS,

You’re like so many men who take some things too seriously. Let me explain.

If a woman from within the depths of a forest was to scream out “I'm not no-one, I'm some-one and I am here to tell you that boys are made of slime and snails”, (and the rest are gay meatheads, or something to that effect), her worst nightmare would be that no one hears. Even if one of her multiple personality characters was to respond in voices, and even if just to call herself a crazy lost bitch, she would be happy…

When she does so on a public forum however, she so totally expects to be revered as a feminist.

Got it?

Yvoone,
After the last time the feminists of OLO said that they liked men, a feminist immediately started calling men “meatheads”.

It didn’t take long.

Seeker,
I’ve never known a feminist to be selective on what men they take money from. They will take money from any man.

But if a feminist was honest, then they should only take money from women, because no woman could be “made of slime and snails”, and no woman could be a “meathead”.

But I saw my first Zoo magazine recently. I was in a newsagency and searched around, and finally found it.

It was hidden away in the back of the shop, and came in a sealed plastic bag.

So it appears that Australian Feminist Idol Audrey Apple not only thinks that Germaine Greer is sexy, not only does she think that “boys are made of slime and snails”, not only does she like to drink from a “goon”, not only does she like to spread profanity through her gossipy and trashy blogsite, but she also likes to read magazines that are found in the back of a newsagency and come in a sealed plastic bag.

Well done Audrey.

All feminists should be inspired, and hope that one day they too can ascend to your levels of ismness.

Whoops. Sorry. I know I said I wouldn't post here again, but I just noticed Seeker was here and wanted to make sure that he heard what I had to say.

This is what you wrote earlie:
"Was the implied unhappiness of your grandmothers directly related to their non-dedication to feminism, and *everything* to do with men, or to other, totally unrelated social and economic factors? I dare not ask about your grandfathers, for they portray as abusers and rapists."

And this is what I wrote back:
What a nasty little paragraph. Please don't insult my family then attribute it to me. Frankly, I have no idea what you're on about here. I never suggested that my grandmothers' inability to lead a full life (not unhappiness) was *anything* to do with men. They weren't "non-dedicated" to feminism - they just didn't have it back then. Both my grandfathers were excellent men.

Seeker: I am happy for you to insult me directly. Go for it. Just lay off my family, particularly the male members. Actually any members.

PS. HRS, you do realise "Liam" is a guy's name. The guy who said "meatheads" was a male.

Vanilla,
I thought you'd left.

I would define a feminist as anyone who calls themselves a feminist, and that is very easy to do, and someone does not have to be female to be able to call themselves a feminist.

Also, are you at all selective in what men you take money from. Or do you only take money from men that are "slime and snails" or "meatheads".
