Basicaly
Sounds like some people got the wrong idea about the more extreme polemics churned out during the 70's and then made an internet site about it. The point about the feminist polemics wasn't realy to be taken seriously, rather to turn the kind of objectivism and prejudice present in society at the time on men, to highlight how wrong this is. It's not supposed to be something you realy agree with, more underlining a point.

Feminism is worth it. Try reading some Kate Millet or something. She's got some interesting points, like the fact that while there are, on average differences between men and women as groups, these differences are tiny compared to the same differences within the groups of men and women.

Anyways, it's totaly not worthless, and no sane feminist is going to seriously suggest that men are basicaly rapists. Apart from the men who are rapists - obviously. Anyways - this is far too serious for an OT post - I apologise.

RAP BATTLE!

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:33, Reply)

I can honestly say that I think a rap battle is something that I would do worse than practically anything else I could attempt

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:34, Reply)

that is why you should try it and film it and make it an internet hit

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:34, Reply)

I couldn't do it
I can't do cringeworthy stuff like that, and I find rapping on adverts and tv shows to be pretty much the most cringeworthy thing around
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:37, Reply)

yeah
I was just trying to coerce you into doing something regrettable and embarrassing
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:39, Reply)

I'm good at resisting that sort of thing

umm, congratulations?
is that appropriate?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:33, Reply)

totally
the ex is a douche who cheated on me 4 months after the wedding. New guy is very much not like him.

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:38, Reply)

Awesome!
Are you gonna take it further or is it just snogging? Nice to know someone's getting some.

currently failing to write an e-mail to get him to come visit me after easter

Urrmmm
Goes like "Hey, I don't know if you're up for it, but I was going to (go see film/band/whatever) after easter - would be cool if you could make it xxx - done. :D (that's what I'd write anyway. Not that you should take my advice at all realy)
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:39, Reply)

I'm pretty sure it would be OK
I'm just a wuss.

I take advice where I can get it in these matters
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:41, Reply)

Well in that case
Best of luck! And such.

cheers

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:43, Reply)

you could always try the
"could you come visit and give me another kiss please? the last one was rather nice"

tactic
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:42, Reply)

this has much style
but I'm not sure I'd have the guts to actually press send
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:43, Reply)

write it
and then think "I must not under any circumstances whatsoever send this message"

It'll be dispatched, read and replied to before you know it!

i think I'd need rum

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:46, Reply)

I know what you mean
rejection is a horrible thing to be scared of, just bite the bullet, whats the worst that could happen? to be fair no thanks is only 8 little letters that really shouldn't hurt
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 21:49, Reply)

the one I wrote on Sunday asking him out
was possibly the scariest thing I've done in years
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:07, Reply)

As scary as your mum?

(Bazongaloid, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:16, Reply)

that's the scariest thing *you've* done
wait...I think I haven't got the hang of this
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:18, Reply)

but he said yes
yes?

if so then you have nothing to worry about, the first one is always the hardest
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:16, Reply)

yup
sent message now, not quite what you said, but not far off and more mention of robots
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:18, Reply)

"could you come visit and give me another robot please? the last one was rather nice"

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:21, Reply)

well
good luck, hope you get a good reply

oh and more robots!
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:23, Reply)

I love it when a girl wants a robot off me.

(Bazongaloid, Tue 30 Mar 2010, 22:24, Reply)

Ridicule, conversely, is nothing to be scared of.
