On saggy skin, babies, feminism, and friends
A self-proclaimed female feminist is staunchly against having her own children, and vocal about it. She admitted a few months ago that really she was just afraid of what it would do to her body... I told her that my body already looked like it would post-baby. I've lost 125 lbs. And I have a loving, wonderful, beautiful…
"Gender Battle" thread.
I'm so afraid to click on that one.
PUA douchelord on MFP
MFP is probably a PUA goldmine. This particular fuckwit has taken it upon himself to message girls to tell them they should work out more often. BigBadWolf_ If anyone has any suggestions regarding how to deal with this idiot I'd be keen to hear about it. In the meantime it would be nice to keep a record of the usernames of…
Warned for challenging misogyny...
...and deleted. Yet the original misogynistic comment still stands! So in effect, I've been silenced yet the anti-woman discussion is allowed to stand. WTF MFP?
Dear MFP forums...
1) Girls are not allowed to be members here, there's an age restriction on under 18s. The word you are looking for is "women".

"I'm just trying to understand..."
"I'm not being racist/sexist/homophobic/deliberately obtuse/etc--I'm just trying to understand!" Okay. I know that there are several factors at play here. I know that my own thirst for knowledge drives a lot of my self-education and so I'm more motivated to learn stuff than other people. I know that my opportunities for…
Argh!
Why do I constantly make the mistake of reading threads on this website? I know that ignoring things and pretending they don't exist doesn't fix them nor will it make them go away, but I know exactly what I'm going to find when I read them. I only just started reading them and we've already got racism, sexism and denial of…
Emma Watson's Speech on Feminism
Did anyone else watch the Emma Watson speech on feminism? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iFl4qhBsE Thoughts? However, the response pissed me off beyond belief: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11114920/Emma-Watson-targeted-by-hackers-who-say-they-will-release-naked-photos-in-four-days.html
