Woman confuses ‘feminism’ with ‘talking about herself a lot’
A WOMAN believes feminism is about endlessly discussing her problems from a vaguely female perspective.
Nikki Hollis thinks personal woes like not being able to buy a flat or meet the right guy on Tinder are feminist issues because they happen to her and she has a vagina.
Office temp Hollis, 25, said: “The main feminist issue for me is not being able to advance my career. There’s no way a man would find it difficult to get a highly paid job in TV.
“I’m also concerned no one’s helping young women like me get on the property ladder. Even my female friends’ eyes glaze over whenever I talk about it. That’s how ingrained the sexism is.
“Obviously I’m aware of other feminist issues like arranged marriage, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore problems like the extortionate cost of gym membership these days.
“Or unacceptable behaviour by men. Recently I went on a date with a guy who was really boring, which you wouldn’t expect from a software engineer. Us women deserve better than that.”
Friend Emma Bradford said: “She even said the price of cinema tickets was ‘excluding women from cultural life’. At that point I had to ignore female solidarity and tell her to shut the fuck up during Thor: Ragnarok.”
The problem with this survey is it doesn't go into the detail required. Some aspects of feminism have gone way too far, which is pretty obvious, but there are other aspects that could do with going a little further.
I wouldn't call my opinion dissenting. It's pretty clear that I think feminism has gone too far, it's just that there are some things that do need to be fixed, in the same way I'm for men's rights where there are also things that need to be fixed. Equality is a very subjective thing so I cant exactly provide evidence, nor should I have to given that fact and opinion are two entirely different things.
The point being that the numbers being used to whip up hysteria about FGM in the UK are complete bunkum. It's no different to "studies" counting any sexual encounters involving alcohol as sexual assault.
Society is totally onboard with cutting bits off little boys in order to make them more aesthetically appealing to women. We have hard data there showing the total number of incidences across all countries that practice it medically. Nobody is upset about this. They should be.
