This isn't going to go that well at all.

I'm offended already.

Ahhh.. Forgive me, but if it sounds like a whining MRA.

Yep, you've got the hang of it, just like Laurie.

Mountain rescue associate? Or is there some other isolating distance producing acronym that i've missed?

You may even find some stuff here you agree with Sam, people here are pretty supportive of feminism (albeit not so much the twitterati/privilege theory driven kind) and generally dislike Helen Lewis for her liberal nonsense. Maybe take a bit of time to read through what people are saying rather than jumping to conclusions about people based on them ticking a few boxes in your head that means you automatically want to dismiss what they have to say.

For a supposedly smart bunch, you really don't know much about my politics.

we're smart, not psychic.

Straight question - how much of this thread have you read?

What's my fav film?

 

[el-ahrairah]

and, taken on average, not really that smart either tbh.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

All I know is, every so often I get a rush of clicks from this forum and every time I see my name mentioned it's something about my mental health or my "elite upbringing". How wrong could you be?

It's a knee jerk response to a vanity search.

 

[DaveCinzano]

What's my fav film?

Something with subtitles in black and white, or that one with Mark Wahlberg where he's that guy with those other guys, and they're doing that thing, and it's like real life, but not, and there's that dead dog bit. And drugs.

Shush!

No.. I have a blog that is frequently linked to from this site.

could probably outwit a slow child, or a clever dog though. Defeated by complex smartphone interfaces

 

[CNT36]

Is this really real then?

Most likely. The site has been linked to by her twitter account a couple of times.

 

[TruXta]

Shit, and here I thought I was gonna get some work done this afternoon.

 

[frogwoman]

this'll go well.

No one mentioned your elite-upbringing (edit: i doubt most people here know if you had such a background or not). A poster mentioned that people who benefit from an "elite upbringing" are to the fore of the calling out/you're a racist culture in response to a question as to why this shite is all over the place.

A knee jerk response to a blog link, then.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

Doesn't matter what I say/do, you already have a picture drawn up in your head about how I'm a spoilt middle class brat with an unhealthy self love.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

This isn't the first time I've been linked.

 

[Sam Ambreen]

Well, anyway, I'm here so you can get it straight from the horse's mouth instead of letting your preconceptions/stereotypes get the better of you. Think of it as a service.

Are we not individuals with our own experiences and lessons sam?

 

[cesare]

Perhaps utilising the search function should give you a rounder picture of posters' opinions of your politics/actions/writing.

Not sure anyone is that interested in you now to be fair. I'm sure you'll shoulder the responsibility though.

Don't you think I am responding because people on here have been doing just that?
