For Feminists Who Want a Laugh....



... I just got an anonymous email from a troll. You know the kind of email it was passive aggressive, belittling and most importantly grammatically incorrect. Yes it is a fact that every troll on the internet is so consumed with hatred and bitterness that they lost the ability to spell. It just falls right out of their angry little heads. So while I should probably be more worried about where this guy got my personal email address from I'll just laugh about it for no. I hope you do too.



Hi,

You like feminism among other things. I wonder why? Which kind of feminism?

1. Feminism which treat female as "equal" because of political
correctness (PC) or
2. feminism which gives preferential treatment like in employment,
because they cannot compute with open opportunities out in real world or
3. Feminism which prefer fast tracking women with out proper education
or training just for being women or
4. Feminism which gives pass marks in colleges because, women do like to
be treated as weak and feeble beings or
5. Are you looking for real and an adulterated "equality" ?

Like: to be given enterance exam or proper assesment at every level
against male and even other women. Do you really like women to be equal
with out BUT or ha and you don't wnat to be treated superficially at
every level as capable of doing a given job with their own effort with
out hiding behind colleagues.

If you are trying to mention women give birth ....: please don't, women
and most female animals give birth for millions of years. If you have
cats, rats, or if you watch documentary about mammals, they give birth
because that is their biological physical make up. They raise their off
spring with out huhaha.

The biggest problem with feminist women is that they want to to be given
preferential treatment in employment and promotion and so on. They don't
know what to do with the money they make. They recieve child benefit
from state, or they collect from two or more fathers for children, they
are making in P/T or F/T job and some prostitutions. All thse money flow
to their account BUT they don't want to spend on their children instead :

Plastic surgery, boob enhancement, buttock jobs, nose job, vagina
enhancement?, 200 pair of chooses and sex toy of this and that sort.

Men are making money to win over women and went to war to win other
lands and send to their family and fight against viciously other men. To
keep their female companion to themselves.

Can you see the contrast behind why women are making money and women
make money? In short men make money to impress women and feed their
family and women make money for superficial ego.

I know as a woman who profited from PC you can't see my point,

Good luck any way with your feminism,

LBA

Imagine, if you have a male son and he is rejected from school or
college place because because of his gender and again lets us say he
succeeded to complete his education and was rejected to priority to his
female friends who were sleeping around while he was banging his head in
library? Let us say you reachead your middle aged years and see your
husband if you marry and all your male relatives are with out work and
become drug dealers and criminals.

Is that the equality WI preaching to desperate women out there?

Good luck any way, with your superficial equality!!!!!

Bye

REVIEW: UK Feminista Summer School

So like every other feminist around, well the ones who managed to get tickets, I headed down to the UK Feminista Summer School last weekend for a couple of feminist filled days.

Tired and grumpy on Saturday morning I questioned whether I should bother going to another feminist event. Will there be anything new? Don't I know it all already? Won't it be better to stay in my bed all day?

I brushed away my negative thoughts and made my way to the event held in Amnesty International's flash looking centre.

Walking through the stalls of leaflets, sign up sheets, merchandise and books (I tried to resist but I had to pick up the Equality Illusion by UK Feminista creator Kat Banyard) I wasn't entirely sure what kind of weekend this would be turn out to be.

The weekend started off with a panel discussion on the importance of feminist organising and why we are still not as equal as society would have us believe. The summer school was set up as a way to teach feminist groups and individuals how to set up their own campaigns or groups. The idea being that they will go back to their towns creating feminist activism in every corner of the UK. It's ambitious but possible if enthusiasm, numbers and how re-politicised people are anything to go by.

The days were split up into workshops and big panel discussion in which we were treated to a talk on campaigning from a key member of Barack Obama's team, taught how to run a Ladyfest, taught how to fundraise and learnt how to use stand up comedy to be confident in business amongst many other things.

The weekend ended with a Feminist Question Time style discussion featuring Julie Bindel, Dr Aisha Gill, Sunder Katwala and Karon Monaghon QC which was chaired by Bidisha. The discussion became slightly heated on a few occasions, feminist gatherings are like family reunions someone's going to get drunk and tell grandma to piss off but you don't who, when Julie Bindel complained about the treatment of sex workers by anthropologists and when someone in the crowd shouted out that men must feel left out from this discussion.

UK Feminista have done a lot in a short space of time to help raise the profile of feminist activism, create a link between the dislocated feminist groups in the UK and also raise the profile of feminist concerns. We still have a long way to go and to quote one passionate feminist at the summer school "We need a tsunami of feminism not another wave."
