What exactly is unpaid labour?

I guess she had been warned plenty of times.

She was starting to get right on my nerves, she takes everything personally and thinks any comment towards her is an attack on her feminist stand point, she used to be cool man. She has changed

I have to agree. Every post she made seemed about feminism, and whenever I saw someone offer a reasonable argument against her (NOTE: I'm not sexist, but I can recognise a decent view point) she ripped off her apron and went crazy.

She needs to cool down.

iSparky · 8th March 2012, 18:35

Just read that thread she was banned in, fucking deserved it. If she thinks 95% of men are arseholes why come onto a fucking football forum?

Point well made

Enjoy!

Regarding MG, it's entirely possible to disagree with her on certain points without being 'fed up' with her. We're not a hive-vagina. If anyone should be banned just for being a general idiot (and not for breaking any Caf rules), it should have been me for my 'virtual terrace' debacle the other week. I actually, literally cringe whenever I'm reminded of that post.

I don't actually think MG is a feminist so and so. Think she puts it on for the sake of it, something to argue which not many other people here would argue.

Bet she wouldn't say boo to a goose irl.

I'm taking the Weaste approach and dressing up as a woman for International Womans Day. It's what it's all about

iSparky · 8th March 2012, 18:50

For the ladies celebrating this international womens day, its international steak and blowjob day next wednesday so mark that one in the calendar then.

Steak and B.J. Day

Regarding the 95% --

Hehe.

Regarding Andy Gray --

Having said that though, it was all blown out of proportion and an apology would have been enough really. I don't actually think what they said was enough for them to get sacked.

You know The Weaste Approach includes photographic evidence.

No, I've just quoted the relevant bits.
MG never claimed 95% of all men were bastards, she responded to adex who said that if Andy Gray should be deemed sexist after what he said, then 95% of all blokes are sexist.

Read the thread if you don't believe me.

Rado_N · 8th March 2012, 19:02

I've read it. In fact I posted in it. Conversing with her directly.

I never like seeing people banned, but perhaps this temp ban will make her wise up.

iSparky · 8th March 2012, 19:03

It wont make her wise up, she will come back claiming the mods are sexist and she was banned just because she is a woman.....which is in part true....

Rams · 8th March 2012, 19:05

What are you supposed to do on Womens Day anyway? Is it a bit like Mothers Day 'cept for women?

Adzzz · 8th March 2012, 19:12

A banning isn't harsh if you're repeatedly warned about something. So unless you're privy to the warnings that took place any and all 'harsh' comments are bollocks.

I think it will make her realise that banging on about feminist issues ad infinitum is a bit much, she didn't used to be so strident about it.

Yep, its the same tired crap in every thread. I've nothing against MG but repeatedly spouting the same things in most threads was getting really annoying. She's made her views very very clear on the subject already. I don't see how repeating it so many times is going to help her case.

Warnings? Surely all bans are carried out at the behest of internet-power happy madmen (or women, obviously Redcafe is an equal opportunity employer!)

I might just agree with that.

But I do think that if you want to criticise her, at least get your (general 'your') facts straight. This image of an unreasonable, man-hating harpy just doesn't fit my image of MG after reading her posts in the Andy Gray thread.

I don't agree with the temp-banning though, but that's neither here nor there. Just keep in mind that even Your Lord High Executioner g_b got it wrong regarding the '95% business'.

Adzzz -- I might agree if she took any non-sexism related thread off topic. But this was a thread about sexism, after all.

I remember one time, I had no idea this lady was gay, there was a lot of us in a wine bar in Fleet Street, and all I said to her was that I liked her shoes, and she asked me out!! I must give off some aura or something

Rams · 8th March 2012, 19:47

I know a joke for Womens Day! My mrs asked me to give her 9 inches and make her bleed... so i fucked her 3 times then punched her face.

I never meant to imply that. And just to be on the safe side, I certainly don't think it was sexist in any way.

I just think that if e.g. Cal? is allowed to bang on and on in the Messi thread(s), so MG should be allowed to be a bit repetitive in a thread that was explicitly about sexism.

I must say Cal? ( ? What though? ) is extremely tedious
