I'd be interested to listen in to a debate between women on the pros and cons of that argument.

 

Arsed if I'm paying too much attention to a handful of men on a football forum, like.

A HOPE NOT HATE INVESTIGATION HAS FOUND AND EXPOSED THE NEW ISSUES GROUP, A SECRET ANTI-MUSLIM GROUP AT THE HEART OF THE BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT.

”The documents even suggest that known far-right figures have written and edited questions to be asked in the House of Lords. There is also evidence of funding from US evangelicals being funnelled into the UK to support the group and to help push legislation through the British Parliament. Perhaps most concerning, however, is that Baroness Cox broke the Lords Code of Conduct by failing to declare that she is a Director of a company called Equal and Free which the documents suggest is closely linked this secretive organisation.”

Some people are always on the lookout for new ways to be offended.

Faux-offence on behalf of other people is exactly the kind of thing that Rico and Stronts will tell you they are dead against... yet, here we are.

And it even mentions ADHD (an offensive name), but this seems to be before he raised money for his best mate the sex offender who was further prosecuted for trying to work with children after being banned.  Nothing to see here  Fuck me.

Right, so, that's Hope Not Hate on your list of enemies.

Strange little chap. Lovely house though.

He said pretty much the same about me being a strange little man the other day, not worth a neg, pretty good put down. When returning the favour I was a little concerned so complemented his house, which is lovely. I was right to be, he's a sensitive little chap.

He seems very keen for me to contribute my opinion to another thread for some reason.

It’s like you forget what you post.  Last week you were supporting Billy Bragg faux outrage for a fictional kid whose fictional mum had fictional cancer.

In schools?  We’ve had drag in schools for centuries?  No one cares about drag, is it appropriate in schools?

What the fuck does any of that have to do with me?

If calling someone obsessed is worthy of being described as an "attack", I'm asking what word you'd use to describe acts such as those. Nowhere did I say you had anything to do with it.

But why are you so keen to have my opinion?

 

I don't approve of anyone taking the law into their own hands as a general rule. Not sure what else you'd expect me to say.

Why should I deny it, when good looks run in the family? Add some well groomed handlebars and slightly more muscular legs and that's practically me.

I don’t follow this line of reasoning that says drag has been around for centuries so that makes it alright. Presumably lynching and slavery are also ok ? Female emancipation is a relatively recent phenomenon so it’s no surprise that the old means of cultural oppression are now coming under scrutiny.

 

To my mind, drag acts are offensive. They are caricaturing and exaggerating female sexuality, appearance and mannerisms in a  spiteful manner that is degrading to women and full of hate. Real women like your wife, daughter, mum don’t look or behave like drag acts, it’s a personification of suppressed male fear of female sexuality. This is why drag acts often have overtly sexual names and base their act on women being either overly promiscuous (Lilly Savage) or sexually repressed ((Les Dawson).
 

There’s no celebration of women’s achievements in a drag act  just men punching down on an historically oppressed group who have only recently achieved equality. I’m amazed that apparently liberal people can’t see it.
