I dare guess that GB has never worn a bra, so he must indeed be a feminist

Jolly Cotton

So your saying that if you wear a bra you can't be a feminist? I will fling off my bra, and go topless then! (at least in my bedroom)

Ringdrotten

Alternatively, you could grow a beard 8-)

Pettytyrant

I think you will find many feminists already have beards!

HenrySmith

I wear a bra (it does help organize certain body parts neatly) and I do not have a beard, gentlemen. The bra or not the bra, the lack or notthe lack of a beard mean nothing to a liberated woman; it is actually the right to wear or not to wear a bra, and to grow or not to grow a beard, that is the essence of Feminism. You and Odo must get out more often, you know. (And GB, you surely know better, you really shouldn't be encouraging them ):-Jane

Tinuviel

Ti piace italiano, signore Banks. E un lingue straniere, ma molto bello, no?

HenrySmith

Not you too, GB? My does not require an understanding of rocket science. :-Jane

Ringdrotten

Your point is crystal clear, Jane, it's just that I find teasing women (Feminists especially) with male chauvinistic humour immensely entertaining :loli:

Gandalfs Beard

I was just puzzled over the "encouraging" them bit. :?

Mirabella Banks

I think I can explain, GB. It was that "laughing" emoticon you put in a few posts back. Jane is a little too naive to know what you found funny, but being one of those insecure modern women (humourless types all), she thought you were laughing at her. This is the trouble with girls discussing serious matters or making jokes - we girls are just not built for it. If we don't understand a joke (and often I don't) we must laugh along anyway. Jane, by baring your teeth like the Original Serpent you thereby show your (feminine) shallowness. Women should stay clear of Men's logic and humour. We have other (feminine) attributes and should never be ashamed of them.

HenrySmith

I may be naive, Mirabella, but at least I'm not a veritable clone of Odo Banks. You know, you must separate yourself from him, if that's possible. You two sound more connected than Siamese twins. Indeed, I seriously wonder sometimes where the one ends and the other begins:-Jane

Pettytyrant

Indeed, I seriously wonder sometimes where the one ends and the other begins:-Jane I don't think any of us know the answer to that one!

HenrySmith

You know, Petty, I sometimes wonder if Mirabella is really a young woman and not some cynical male masquerading (albeit, if so, a very childish one!). She certainly sounds like a man at times (albeit, if so, a very childish one!), though some women are happy to be mouthpieces for men, that might be all it is, still... :? :-Jane

Tinuviel

I find it fun to crack a woman joke every once in a while, but that's because I can act kind of boyish sometimes. My sister and I always used to play out our favorite disney movies. Not knowing any better, I always was the prince. So I've grown up being able to relate to boys a bit better. And some think that some things men are just naturally better at. But that's been my goal to disprove

Ringdrotten

Ah, Italian - much more to my liking

Odo Banks

I don't want to sound rude, Tin, but isn't there a girlie thread for this kind of chatter?

Tinuviel

tousche my friend.

Odo Banks

No need to swear at me, Tin! How dare you call me a tousche* * don't know what it is, but it does sound abominable! How dare you!!!

Tinuviel

That's my fault. I meant to spell the word that sounds like too-sh-A. Like in fencing.

Ringdrotten

Touché - it's French

Odo Banks

French!!! So it's worse than I thought! And what's this about "fencing", Tin? What's this got to do with "fences." Are you being facetious in some clever fashion? The cheek!

Jolly Cotton

Excusez-moi?! Qu'est ce qui ne va pas les francais?

Ringdrotten

Ils sont homosexuels, Mademoiselle Ally

Tinuviel

Je ne parle pas francais.

Jolly Cotton

Je suis désolée. Pardonne-moi je t'en supplie! (I'm sorry- please forgive me!)
