Lessons in Feminism - especially for 'Yawn'
22.12.2004 23:52
Did you not realise that women are still earning more than 15% less than their male counterparts which kinda demonstrates that discrimination is still alive n kicking. Also, and more frighteningly, female genital mutilation is still a reality for millions of women, particularly in developing countries.
So, why shouldn’t women have the right to be able to defend ourselves? Feminism is about EQUALITY rather than supremacy over men or as ‘Yawn’ suggests - hating men.
‘Yawn’, you may find it handy to actually DO some research into women’s rights? Why not try
As for self defence in Oxford? Well, seeya there, sisters…

WAKE UP YAWN

I had to turn off the screen and leave the room when I saw the picture. Why? Because when I saw it it was like looking into a mirror (the monster not Tanky obviously). How many rape victims do you know Yawn? Self-defense classes for women sound like a bloody good idea (its just a shame for the women I know they are too late). They need to take precautions against those like the 'man' I used to be (I've changed now, I hope).
he-beast (no I'm genuine not a troll)
WAKE UP YAWN(pls don't censor me this time, its not what u think)

I'm not a rapist, but when I saw the picture I was upset. Why? because for me it was like looking into a mirror (the monster not Tanky). A close friend of mine is a victim and I think that self defence classes for women are a bloody good idea. I haven't myself done anything major (although any form of harassment is very serious) but in the past I certainly behaved like a creep at times. I have changed but I still feel guilt at what I used to be like. Yawn you seriously need to grow up and get a Girlfriend that bears less resemblance to your right hand.
