True, but being a reformed drunkard not having my own bottle opener is a right pain in the arse.

You open bottles with your arse?

Have you ever thought of exhibiting yourself in a freakshow?

 

[startalk]

I'm hardly Butchers' biggest fan but Sam isn't exactly in his league. Clubbing baby seals.

What league is that?

Is anyone in that league except him?

*wince*

If you have no bottle opener, you'd be better off using your teeth.

 

[butchersapron]

butchers will be printing out an 'i monstered sam ambreen' stencil for his tshirt to wear down at his revolutionary cafe

Look at the interest dale.

MRA = Men's Rights Activists.

the ones who think that women run the world etc.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Mens' rights activists.

Men's Rights Activists, otherwise the plural would likely be menses, and then where would we be?

 

[rekil]

Bakunin m8, those pics are huuuge, resize before posting pls? Won't someone think of the small displays.

 

[ViolentPanda]

If we all chant, "Helen Lewis" three times, do you think that she will magically turn up?

I do hope not.

Touché.

[Obnoxiousness]

You're proud of being a Trot?

Isn't that a little bit like being proud you have the biggest arse-boil of anyone in your hometown?

What's wrong with being a Trotskyist?

i'm sure we can find some alternative method of opening bottles for you before it gets any more painful

Well, if it's a screw top bottle then I just clench it in place and twist.

Hmm, "white people" as a homogeneous group. Interesting theory.

Particularly as she chose a glaswegian to contrast with, she never heard of anti-catholicism in Glasgow? Or people changing their names because of it? Or that the wrong name for sure got you pulled up by Special Branch at an airport?

That was my choice actually.

this is just it, isn't it. there are real MRAs out there who'd happily have Sam put in a breeding camp. but in her world there is no difference between a left wing activist who dares to have a disagreement with her opinions is an MRA. but you can't argue the pros and cons, because the debating ground is twitter where the person who wins is the one who cries "racist" or "sexist" hardest. this is what the dialectic has come to?

I imagine that she probably gets a lot of abuse from MRAs and other acronyms on twitter that probably outweigh any criticism from the left around the sort of issues on this thread. That criticism can then be lumped in with all the abuse. I don't think all the "Men waah" shit from a few pages back helps things, either as an answer or as a mindset.

 

[co-op]

Yes - but she started all the stuff about how he wouldn't have ever been pulled at the airport/had to change his name etc etc

True.

Seriously, have a ganders at Gerry Adams on Twitter and his adoring fanbase. Almost impossible to believe the IRA were ever a thing. Terrorist means Muslim these days, pure and simple. Next you'll be telling me my culture has been oppressing your culture for the last 800 yrs a la Ciaron Cunt O Reilly cos I "don't look brown enough to be Asian".

Last time I checked, the provisions of the extant legislations with regard to terrorism showed that "Muslim" and "Terrorist" aren't synonymous (except perhaps to elements of the media and their readership), so not quite "pure and simple".

But also "these days" - yes some truth there, but it'll be the chinese (or whoever) in ten years. Just because you're the victim du jour doesn't make your experience unique.
