Every now and then in our professional field (professionally eating white chocolate spread out of a tin while writing about internet feminism), you come across some Really Important Questions that set you thinking about your entire ideological positioning and what it means in an international context.
And sometimes you don’t.
This post is dedicated to the ones that have prompted me to have a bit of a Nicholas Cage moment which involves me smearing the white chocolate spread all over myself just like Cage does with all that black paint or tar or whatever (if you haven’t seen that linked video, I urge you to stop ALL THINGS immediately and watch it. It’s important.)
So. Without further ado – here’s the stupidest side of the online media on feminism. Feel free to contribute your own, and read at your own peril.
I knew equality was gonna ruin pretty much everything but now MY SEX LIFE TOO?!
The ONE THING that unites ALL FEMINIST WOMEN.
Those BASTARDS. And you know how it did it? Because feminists hate cooking…
…Because they’re all too busy being fangirls for Mad Men, duh.
OR DO THEY?! The one question that’s been on all of our minds.
Probably because of that EVIL DARK HYPNOTISING ANGEL IN THE BACKGROUND. She’s definitely in on it. I bet she hates home cooking and always orders takeaways to watch with Mad Men while she refuses to have sex on a Friday night.
Undeniably.
Guys, we totally shot ourselves in the foot here. And by foot I mean vagina. ABANDON FEMINIST SHIP.
How could it not, when the legal profession is mainly based around home cookery courses and shunning Mad Men?
But isn’t divorce a legal procedure?!
Hate to break it to y’all, but I think we’ve all been united in understanding that ‘fuck’ is the real F word for a pretty long time. But I guess if it can’t have F all to itself, it may as well go preying on some other letter in the alphabet…
Beminism: just as catchy? But if you’re not sure exactly what a ‘feminist’ even is anymore, there’s a handy checklist that the Yahoo! user base has put together below:
No substance abuse, no feminism. Got that, ladies? Now leave feminism to the REAL feminists and go find yourselves some other reason to shirk the washing-up.
Back to Nicholas Cage.
Wait wait wait…
There’s such a thing as white chocolate spread?
GET YOURSELF DOWN TO LE PAIN QUOTIDIEN, MY FRIEND
“White chocolate” has no cocoa fat. It is not chocolate.
I discovered chocolate banana spread. Not sure if it’s good or bad.
The divorce article is actually pretty sensible… misleading to include it here?
Lol.
Lol
Umm…it actually is sensible. The title makes it seem ridiculous, but look: http://divorcesupport.about.com/b/2013/04/14/is-divorce-a-feminist-plot-to-destroy-men.htm
Still didn’t answer the URGENT question as to whether the Kardashians ARE indeed feminists???? Won’t be able to sleep tonight pondering that one.
I’d really appreciate an article on equal pay for women and your views. You’ve built yourself a great platform to discuss real issues. Also please edit out Ayn Rand’s face from your blog design.
Thanks
Sorry: why would Ayn Rand need to be deleted if she was featured in the blog design?
For the last time:
IT IS NOT AYN RAND. IT IS LOUISE BROOKS YOU NUMPTY
Really?! Oh it looks strikingly similar to Ayn Rand.
Sorry..
Anyway yeah a piece on equal pay would be nice
We’ve featured many, many articles on equal pay in the last year on The Vagenda. The most recent one concerns women in unpaid internships which you’ll see if you scroll down. If you’d like a link to all of them, happy to provide by email. Otherwise, please pitch us if there’s something we’re missing!
Great, I’ll give them a read.
