Feminism

Mrs BS brought home a paper copy of the magazine. I’ve photographed the relevant bits and will post them here - hopefully they’re legible. Credit to Network Rail for actually publishing this in their magazine, I think. And, also, a really nicely balanced piece from the woman in question, who is thoughtful and sympathetic to her co-workers, I think.

It’s “Harrassed” though, I hate to be that guy who corrects other posters mistakes. But you’re a dick, so i’m good with that.

God you’re a bunch of soft arses. Good job I’m not from the snowflake generation otherwise I’d be crying about ageism.

The bird wants equality, well taking the piss is part of a working environment.

yeah, she needs to man-up - woman-up, or is it person-up now?

Either way it is clearly her fault if some old perverts choose to act out their fantasies with her as a victim.

I’m not sure why we can no longer say she was gagging for it and dismiss the whole nonesense, but in these snowflake days the sandal-wearing liberal-elite do-gooders insist we just apologise to the little lady.

Its a funny one feminism because so often you only see things from your point of view. I went out with a girl the other night off Tinder who told me that she had 8000 matches on the app. Eight. Fucking. Thousand.

Funnily enough we got on quite well and she’s asked me to meet up on Thursday but you can’t help but go home sulkily feeling like life is just absolutely piss-easy for women and that how can anything be hard when you’re attractive to that kind of percentage of the opposite sex. How could it not be, right? How could the world not be particularly nice to you whilst such a huge amount of men find you attractive? Or so you think.

She then told me that whilst on holiday travelling she had her backside grabbed by three men in the space of about 100 metres of crowded road in Peru - and this wasn’t when dolled-up on a night out - this was when she was off hiking and climbing mountains and by her own admission not looking her best at all.

Later that day I went to the recovery cafe where I met a 20 year old ex-Muslim girl who’s run away from home and spent the morning at the police station sorting out a restraining order for her parents and sister as she’s been a victim of honour violence (parents took her out of the country when she was 7 years old - tried to stop her getting an education/marry her off to a 35-year old when she was 19). She’s an absolute star as well - she’s enrolled herself on a course to become a paramedic. Wonderfully cheerful and optimistic girl as well even though she’s been in hospital - she’ll do brilliantly.

I guess my point is that when it comes to issues around sexism and gender there’s a real habit from both men and women to only see the top-tier of the opposite sex. You see feminists doing the same thing when they bang on about straight white men having all this privilege and so on because most CEOs and board members of Fortune 500 companies are white, whilst failing to realise that they represent less than 0.001% of the total population and that their life experience is as irrelevant to your average working white man as it is to anyone else.

:lou_surprised: I wouldn’t have thought that was even possible. She must be on it 24/7. I dunno how keen I’d be either on a bird who right-swiped 8,000 other bros. IMO that shows a lack of common discrimination. Has she no standards!*

I read the other day that a 19 year old girl has just auctioned off her virginity for $3m. She is going to use the money for tuition fees and travel. Does this make her a) a very high class prostitute b) an entrepreneur or c) an empowered woman? And what of the guy who stumped up the money? What kind of world is it where someone has so much money he can throw it away like this? I am sure he could have found a virgin who was prepared to have sex with him for much less money somewhere on the planet. And how does he know that she is a virgin? Everything that is wrong with the world is tied up in that one transaction.

Un unfair one Sog, male virginity is much less coveted for some reason, if I could sell my virginity I would but who wants to pay 3m for sex with a lad who doesn’t know what to do with what meagre gifts he has to offer?

I’ve just looked up the story. She’s nothing special, like. Certainly not $3m worth of spare. Even if i had $3m to spunk away, i think i’d rather buy a Best of Mayfair and knock one out.

Fatso has already PM’d me an offer that is in excess of that. In fact he PM’s me offers on a weekly basis. Although I’m not sure if he is offering to pay or I am meant to cough up :blush:

Fuck that… surely black Friday means a bargain is to be found? 80p

You’ll be coughing something up young man, don’t worry about that.

There are a couple problems with 19 year old men floggin their virginity.

First, who is going to admit publicly / in front of their mates that they are virgins

Second, what you would be selling is hardly in mint condition - It will have had at least six years of regular abuse by that point

I was a virgin when I was 19. Most people I met were quite impressed with my lack of embarrassment about it (mind you, I think that well over 1/3rd of the male population are virgins at that age and just lie about it).
