I just don't understand why anyone would like it, let alone go viral. Simple reason, a large proportion of people of people are stupid. People ask me why I am no longer on FB after I deactivated my account. I tell them straight, I am tired of seeing stupid **** ( acquaintances) spout mundane rubbish and share utter garbage. It got to the point it made me physically angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm all for feminism and International Women's day, I think it's brilliant. However, I've just made the mistake of reading Buzzfeed's '32 Everyday things that women do that men don't have to worry about.' I agree with about 4 of them, it's shit like this that gives feminism a bad name. Here's a small selection, posted without comment. 10. Wearing a wedding ring to reduce the chances of men hitting on/harassing you, because they respect another man’s “property” more than a woman’s right to say no. 16. Qualifying statements with words like “just” and “sorry” to avoid being perceived as pushy or aggressive.17. Faking being happy and perky even when you don’t feel like it to avoid being seen as a bitch.18. But not being TOO perky, so that people don’t think you’re stupid. 19. Pretending to be patient when you’re interrupted/talked over repeatedly by men.20. Repeating yourself over and over again to get your point across. 27. Questioning whether the tweet or Facebook status you’re about to post will result in being viciously trolled/harassed, and having to make the decision about whether it’s worth it.

In the call he says things like "my mom and dad are in bed and they told me to ring you" "They are lazy" "what's your name" after calling himself "timmy". I like funny videos or whatever, but that one, for some reason really cheesed me off. He's filming it himself, sat in the kitchen, so there is ZERO spectacle, his voice is just high pitched and really doesn't even sound like a child, he's from "oop north" making it even more irritating. The person he's calling is obviously quite concerned about this "child" and his whereabouts, and if he's safe.. He's wasting this persons time, when I'm sure the school would benefit her time being spent on actually helping people who need help, or clogging up the phone line for a 10 minute prank call.. And it's been viewed 10 billion times, everyone seemingly loves it, and you know the bloke that did it will think he's the bollocks and he'll do another one and it'll become "a thing". Faaaackin' ell' Arry' Thing is, you should be pissed off about this. Wasting the time of school employees who may well have thought they had a safeguarding issue to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is exactly the kind of place they hang out but the amount of sneery looks I got for having the temerity to wander round the exhibition wearing jeans, trainers and a RUNDMC t-shirt was just ridiculous. I guess there's elitism in every part of the planet. What's up RUN DMC t-shirt wearing brother 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being confrontational, just interested to know? It's been going for over a century, and started for a very good cause, of obtaining equal working rights and pay for women, as well as the right to vote. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with supporting it, as it's part of working class, and feminist history. It's a day to remember those who struggled in the past, and those that still do today. I think in the current climate, women showing solidarity around the world, isn't a bad thing, especially as some of the powers that be are actually regressing women's rights. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Oh man just this minute seen one. People who bring bicycles onto packed commuter trains in rush hour. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THEM. I can just about excuse those small folding ones but you see people with mahusive full size mountain bikes pressing people into a corner to get their bike on. Pisses me right off. Edited March 9, 2017 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
