We'll have to agree to disagree about the increase in emotional involvement in politics and predominantly male/female traits. Always interesting to have a chat with a male feminist though. It's not so much about me being a feminist, but calling out the absurdity of having a go at Uilleam when he has rightly called out the undertone of mysoginy in this thread from some, including yourself. It seems you're getting defensive about being called out, but we can agree to disagree if you like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by my point about the direction of modern politics and the reaction to Thunberg's activism is an example of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,693 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Who actually, I mean genuinely, gets worked up about politicised shite like misogyny on a footie forum. I mean come on! Take a look at yourselves. This isn't right or clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would be saying it is an example of the feminisation of politics and how emotion trumps reasoning... Whether it was intended or not, it was belittling to a young woman and to women generally. And they certainly wouldn't be calling them a "naive bintette". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
