If knowing feminists has taught me anything, it's that opinions amongst feminists vary massively from one another. Even defining what makes someone a feminist varies depends on who you ask. Having gone to a liberal college, my best relationships were with individuals who believed in moderate feminism. I've dated princess types and I've dated borderline feminazis. Neither appeals to me. Give me a girl that will offer to pay, truly wouldn't mind paying, but won't object to me paying either

See, y'alls problem is you dial the phone too much. QUIT IT. Let their fingers do the walking.

You mistakenly assume that any woman would ever want to call him in the first place. If he was ever able to find a willing partner, we would never be subjected to his endless spiel about the evils of feminism.

So you think women who aren't feminists haven't "worked out" that they want to enjoy sex. That throughout the history of the world, all those billions of women have suffered through bad sex because feminism wasn't here to enlighten them?


In keeping with your sweeping generalization this seemed to be the case during the 19th and 20th Centuries (before Kinsey and before Masters & Johnson, and before Sheryl Hite) when the study of women was in the hands of Siggy Freud and and his dour band of acolytes:

This is the one part of female orgasm's history that we tend to all be familiar with: the fact that female sexual tension was diagnosed as "hysteria," or "wandering womb," a kind of female-specific nervous condition that drove a woman completely insane and required pelvic massage and douching to relieve it.

Although this eventually led to the invention of the vibrator by doctors who couldn't be bothered wasting their time manipulating the intimate parts of their patients to stop them going insane, it wasn't good news overall.

Having an orgasm be seen as a medical necessity to prevent your womb driving you up the wall — orgasm as pathology, in other words — is neither fun nor particularly helpful to the idea that husbands and partners might want to provide the pleasure themselves.

Recorded human history is thousands of years old and you think roughly 20 or so years of it - in one small corner of the world - is somehow representative?

Not at all my experience.
Peon, you've assembled such a stunning quantity of delusional crap that I probably can't be bothered cleaning it all up, but I'll address the most egregious nonsense.


Awareness, the confident tone you adopt on all this is *wildly* at variance with your knowledge of it. We both know it. Please at least stop trying to convince me otherwise.
quote:


quote:

Feminists call themselves that because they're into the ideas of freedom and equality.
No. They don't.


Yes. They do. Your view of feminism is just a mound of propaganda, A. It isn't any different to RM's in quality.

quote:

quote:

So they tend to be into such things as the equal freedom to enjoy themselves in bed. Feminists tend to be 'goers', basically. They're absolutely going to have damned good orgasm (or more) if they can get it. Why would I want a woman who's any different?
First of all, if you were actually paying attention instead of regurgitating the dogma that's been brainwashed into you, you'd know that not only is sex-positive feminism decidedly out of vogue, but there's an ongoing backlash against feminism's insistence on telling women how they should feel about sex, marriage and men - just to name a few.


Well, I like to think I have, in fact, been paying attention, not least because I've actually learned about the subject, on account of I've studied it and taught it. Even recently, in fact. What you're retailing here is, again, simply propaganda. Old and tired propaganda, at that. However, the view I take on this comes from feminists themselves - and women I actually know. These do not seem to believe that sex-positive feminism is out of vogue.
quote:



What's interesting is to watch you exemplify this. You are feminism's fascism in action. A man telling feminists that they must enjoy sex his way otherwise they're not good feminists. I'm pretty sure some of the lesbian feminists would happily eviscerate you for such arrogance, but I digress...


Irrelevant straw man. I've not told feminists what they should feel. On the other hand, you - and RM, of course - have been *tirelessly* telling feminists just how much they must hate men; be losers, want to grab what's rightfully men's - etc, etc, etc ....on every possible occasion.
quote:


Feminists are generally so uptight about the gender war that they're unable to relax. Of course, subspace is subspace so once they trance, they stop thinking anyway, but for that to happen, they have to be lucky enough to run into a dominant man.

Conversely women who are comfortable with gender difference don't have a chorus of voices in their head muttering about patriarchy, male dominance and the gender wage gap."


Drivel. And again, in straw man territory. Feminists believe in equality and freedom. If they take those two principles to heart, they'll be helped in having a good time in bed, not hindered.

quote:


quote:

I hear that a woman's an ardent feminist and I think: 'Great - she'll be a bouncer in bed!'. That's basically it, for me. Just empirical evidence, I'm saying. I don't do high theory when it comes to picking my bonking partners.
In your case, isn't that more a case of "great, she'll peg me until I bleed"?


Try not to bring your own fantasies into the discussion, mmh?. You've already done more posts that focus on my anus and what could be happening with it than I feel comfortable with. OK? Enough said. :)



quote:


On the other hand non-feminists or anti-feminists, in my experience, have tended to be pillow-biters. That is: they've crushed down their primitive desires in the sack department, in order to be what they consider to be 'ladylike', and merely 'put up with' what their man wants to do *to* them (sex being 'what a man actively does to a passively-receiving woman', basically).
Peon "pillow-biter" is a euphemism for a homosexual, so lord knows what the FUCK you're talking about - you seem to be getting your genders confused.

God, you should start a website for grannies in order to give them advice on how to suck eggs! In the slang that I was brought up with, a pillow biter was indeed a woman who hated having sex and bit on the pillow instead. Hell, A. Not even you could be so egotistical as to instruct me in my own slang ... surely?

"
quote:

Feminists have almost never been fat or ugly, in my experience. Why would they be?
Because women without sexual power are attracted to conspiracy theories to explain that lack of power."

A feminist is someone who believes in equality of the genders, A, as I'm afraid you're simply having to get used to me reminding you. This 'conspiracy' stuff is a straw man.

"
quote:

They've worked it out that they want good sex and have the right to it;
So you think women who aren't feminists haven't "worked out" that they want to enjoy sex. That throughout the history of the world, all those billions of women have suffered through bad sex because feminism wasn't here to enlighten them? I'm sorry Peon, I really can't take you seriously any more - your reasoning is so child-like, it's clear the sycophancy component of your personality is turned way up to 11 and is just vomiting out nonsense."

You would need some sense of your rights to freedom and equality in order to enjoy sex, yes. Those senses do, of course, predate the conscious movement to gain those things that we - or, I should say, those of us who can see what's actually there - call 'feminism'.

Oh and please, Awareness. Do try to cut out this pretence of scorn that you do. It's always been utterly unconvincing, to me. Like I said - I've seen it in undergrads before - the ones that fail in the first year, generally. I'm not sure if you ever were an undergrad ... but I'm pretty sure that you're a lot older than the average undergrad, now. Time to grow up.

quote:


quote:

No, they can masturbate or they can have sex with women. Really Peon, your ignorance is appalling - how dare you suggest that women need men in order to enjoy themselves!


Straw man.

quote:

Oh, I see. So what you're saying is that feminists go to the gym and eat right for MEN. That all of their effort in this regard goes into pleasing men.


Straw man.

quote:

Do I really need to point out the hysterical irony of this comment? I'm pretty sure the sisterhood will lynch you for daring to suggest such a thing. *whispers* I don't know if you've noticed Peon, but "beautiful at any size" is now one of the predominant themes of inter-sectional feminism and what you've just done is called "fat shaming" by suggesting that only thin women are entitled to attractive partners.


Straw man, this time seasoned liberally with your favourite drivel

quote:

quote:

The gym-going women I've met and got to know have been keen feminists - for the past fifteen years, without exception.
Well that's a really weird sample set considering only 7% of Britons identify as feminists.


A feminist is somebody who believes in equality of the genders, A. Remember my saying that, at all, in the past? I'm sorry that you don't like that definition, but there it is. It is *the* definition, whatever you or anyone else wants it to be.

quote:

quote:

You and I clearly *do not* live in the same world when it comes to women and sex. Not even as regards femsubs (quite a few of whom I've gone to bed with)
Peon, let me explain something to you. How hot sex between two people happens to be is a function of multiple factors, the most significant of which is sexual polarity.

Barring the gay community (which has similar but significantly different dynamics), sexual polarity explains why tall men and up with short women, why hyper-masculine men end up with hyper-feminine women and why androgynous couples rarely have sex and usually end up as friends. The sexual polarity between you and a female submissive is going to be decidedly lacking and consequently, the sex ain't gonna be all that good.


But it *was* good, A. Or are you now suggesting that you know more about my sex life than I do? What on earth is the matter with you? As for 'hyper-masculine men' and 'hyper-feminine women' ... oh lordy, where would I start?

Do you honestly put yourself in the hyper-masculine category? Please, please ... have you no sense of embarrassment? Not to mention, you know ... are you *sure* that your image of yourself is healthy? (You do recall that I've seen your profile, don't you?)

quote:


Honestly Peon, every time you trot out one of these dogmatic little exercises in delusion, you really do more to demonstrate your own lack of capability than I ever could by debating you. You seriously do suffer from Trump levels of self-delusion."


Just ... plain ... breathtaking. Do you know, I reckon that when you die, you'll be reincarnated as a pot who, with utterly tireless and completely *unbounded* confidence, will then spend the rest of his life as a pot, travelling the world to inform every kettle he meets that it is 'black'. You are being at your most hilarious today, A!

Look. It's very clear to me now that when you (and RM) hear the word 'feminist', you picture something utterly, completely different to the thing I picture, have known, and continue to know. You *cannot* get past your picture - which is of some seething, hate-filled virago who just wants to knock men down and *take* from them - to the women I've met, sometimes partnered ... but generally at least liked. Everything you say about feminists and feminism to me informs your picture of me, too. Given that, how could I possibly want to go to bed with any of them, unless I'm desperate? I must be delusional. I must have to grovel to get any bed-action at all. You and I really aren't speaking the same language and about the same thing, old boy.

Frankly, I think it would help if you *got out* more. You know - do physical things, meet physical people ... that kind of thing ....

Peon, I'm afraid that's just your own Dunning-Kruger in action. While some contend a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, it's readily apparent that in your case, a little bit of indoctrination has deluded you into thinking you know far more than you actually do. And your preference for dogma over methodology verifies it. You are far too wildly incompetent to even pretend to judge another's capability.

Yes. They do. Your view of feminism is just a mound of propaganda, A. It isn't any different to RM's in quality.
No. They do not. Feminism is an ideology founded upon a set of beliefs including - but not limited to - patriarchy theory. A feminist who doesn't subscribe to patriarchy theory isn't a feminist because without it, there is no underlying justification for the demonisation of men.

Peon, please try to keep up. Having to lecture you on your own area of claimed expertise is tedious for me and it really must be embarrassing for you.

I realise you'd like to think that. However, you would be wrong. You clearly haven't been paying attention. Feminism has a poisonous life of its own and it has moved on from the rather quaint ideas you seem to have.

Feminism itself is propaganda. It propagates discredited anti-male myths which have been taken apart time and time again. Believe me, you're in no position to be throwing stones from the illusory security of your little glass propaganda house.

A lie. Feminists exhibit anti-male hatred and feminism is a doctrine tailor-made for life's losers. I've never said a damn thing about women trying to "take what is rightfully men's". This is just your typical feminist deception in action. You're just another lying feminist, Peon.

No, it's just something for which you don't have an answer. Because you're not very good at the arguing thing. And I think you'll find most people believe in freedom. That has nothing to do with feminism, although it's curious you're now trying to claim feminism is somehow responsible for democracy.

quote:

Peon, a little bit of predicate logic would disabuse you of this notion - if you had the wit to comprehend it.

Your claim is equivalent to the following:

All cats have four legs.

Dogs have four legs.

Therefore all dogs are cats.

To whit:

Feminists believe in equality.

People who are not feminists believe in equality.

Therefore people who are not feminists are feminists.

This is an elementary logic error which ANYONE who has actually studied - oh, I don't know - "Political Science" would be able to catch easily. The fact that you don't is another nail in the coffin of your outrageous claims to be teaching anything. You are a comprehensive bullshit artist.


quote:


You would need some sense of your rights to freedom and equality in order to enjoy sex, yes.
No. In fact there's a whole raft of people in the BDSM world who don't possess either of those things and yet, strangely, enjoy sex.

Sex is fucking biological. It is not enabled by political dogma. Christ, you are so appallingly bad at this.

quote:

Those senses do, of course, predate the conscious movement to gain those things that we - or, I should say, those of us who can see what's actually there - call 'feminism'.
Your premise is completely false. Women have been enjoying sex for millennia. Your contention otherwise is the work of a sophomoric mind whose apprehension of reality is sketchy at best.

quote:


Oh and please, Awareness. Do try to cut out this pretence of scorn that you do. It's always been utterly unconvincing, to me. Like I said - I've seen it in undergrads before - the ones that fail in the first year, generally.
Peon, I'm scornful of you because I'm simply a better thinker than you'll ever be. Your claims basically boil down to having handed out pamphlets in a first year "gender studies" course. Stop trying to convince me that you actually teach this stuff, because it's fucking clear as day that you don't. You're a fraud. No question at all. Your paradigm of political science is woefully inadequate, your entire approach to rubric is based around approved modes of thought, you demonstrate no knowledge of methodology, no understanding of analysis or synthesis and a model of reality which is hopelessly inadequate to the task of predicting the future.

Peon, fat-shaming women is a patriarchal trick. You should be ashamed of yourself. You bad, little feminist, you!


quote:

I remember you saying that, but unfortunately for you, I've already exposed your logic deficiencies. Feminists believe in equality of the sexes. It does not therefore follow that anybody who believes in equality of the sexes is a feminist. That's an elementary logic error Peon and if you actually taught Political Science you would know that.

quote:

I'm sorry that you don't like that definition, but there it is. It is *the* definition, whatever you or anyone else wants it to be.
Your definition is irrelevant. You could define Scotsmen as "those who believe haggis is a form of cheese", and that definition would also be irrelevant. I'm not sure what point you think you're making, but based on your previous output it's probably a pretty shit one.

I didn't say anything about me, made no claims at all and yet you can't help but try and erect a Straw Man (yes Peon, THAT is a straw man) to claim I said something which everyone can plainly see, I didn't.

I'll leave this here, because it's so supremely relevant.

To me it's not even a date if I'm paying for my meal? What the hell kind of messed up system is it. If I want to pay for my own meal I'm going out with friends not some cheapskate. I know this old gal had enough of brokeback mountain men. I mean empty pocket men. Brokeback is a movie isn't it?
But anyway I am soooooo glad I'm not dating. I would be a lonely soul waiting by the curb waiting for the door to be opened for me. I'm all about ladies first. And I also want equality which to me equality means respect.
But no way keep that feminist stuff I enjoy being a woman.

Well that's a really weird sample set considering only 7% of Britons identify as feminists.


More than two thirds of Britons support gender equality – but just seven per cent would call themselves feminists.

Out of 8,000 people surveyed, only 560 used the ‘f-word’ to describe their views on equality.

When split out by gender, women were more likely to identify as feminist, with nine per cent using the label compared to four per cent of men.

But men were more supportive generally of equality between the sexes - 86 per cent wanted it for the women in their lives - compared to 74 per cent of women.

Younger women were more likely to call themselves feminist, with 19 per cent aged 18-24 using the word, but they were also most likely to oppose feminism.

Around 61 per cent of those aged 18-34 said they were sympathetic to feminism – a figure that jumped to 72 per cent for those aged more than 55.

Sam Smethers, the charity’s chief executive, said: “The overwhelming majority of the public share our feminist values but don’t identify with the label. However the simple truth is if you want a more equal society for women and men then you are in fact a feminist.

“In our survey we also asked people for their instant reaction to the word ‘feminist’. We found the negative responses clearly in the minority as others saw the word as political, referring to campaigners, or offered explicitly positive words.”

People were asked to say the first word that popped into their heads when they heard the word “feminist”.

More than a quarter said “bitchy”, while 22 per cent said “strength”, 17 per cent said “suffragette” and the same amount used words related to gender such as “woman or female.”


Smethers continued: “Feminism is enjoying a welcome resurgence now, particularly amongst young women. But if we want to secure lasting change in our society we need to bring that mainstream majority with us. As feminists, the challenge comes back to us to include those women and men who want to achieve equality but who do not readily identify with the term.”



The full survey

Seems to me if you are lying by omission, which you are, you have lost all credibility.

I'm just going for honesty here, which is not going to go over well. But ya know that's my thing, I piss people off.
When I think of feminist I think of a bull dyke. A ball buster. Someone who constantly bitches and is negative about the injustices of the world in general. But I also have had a lot of freedom, I could always vote, I had a voice that mattered off and on in life, so that might be the reason I feel like women have it pretty good. I feel grateful. I feel positive about the history of change in this country, at least as equality goes toward women.

But anyway I am soooooo glad I'm not dating. I would be a lonely soul waiting by the curb waiting for the door to be opened for me.


Doors don't work for me when men are around. LOL! I will wait, TYVM. That's part of the perks of being in charge, in my experience.

Honey, don't you worry, someone will come along and open the door for your sweet self. And be happy to do it.

P.s. If I was a man or my door swung that way I'd open for you. Ha!

You might be right. Maybe we don't have a gender. We are just an IT.
Most women are ok not being defined by their delicates.

When I think of feminist I think of a bull dyke. A ball buster. Someone who constantly bitches and is negative about the injustices of the world in general. But I also have had a lot of freedom, I could always vote, I had a voice that mattered off and on in life, so that might be the reason I feel like women have it pretty good. I feel grateful. I feel positive about the history of change in this country, at least as equality goes toward women.

Except it was the early feminists that fought for our freedom, and our right to vote, our right to own property. Without them, none of these equality would have happened. I think in the early days, there was alot of basic rights for feminist to fight for. Now women are afforded their basic rights, in many ways, their fight should be to insist on basic rights accorded to women in countries today where they haven't even got their basic rights yet! But there are less fundamental serious issues for most modern countries now. So alot of their focus can seem as as grandoise as the old days.

Yeah, of course, we have those ladies to thank for that.
I am a believer whether it's right or wrong I don't know, but I believe people learn at different speeds and things will be introduced when they need to be.
Forcing certain beliefs on people really never works, a whole culture or the majority have to stand with changes or it's a failure.
Although we may lend support, the woman and men in the place have to fight for it and want it. If they make it a priority it will happen.
