Men putting their arm around their girlfriend’s shoulders looks like ‘ownership’

People in glass houses, Mirren's latest add:


When will she learn that tracksuited young men aren't sexual toys to be prayed on by "OLDER SUCCESSFUL WOMEN IN DODGY LEATHER JACKETS"!!

I'm sure she'd say "empowerment", I'd just say "makes me a little bit sick in my mouth".

So does the liberation of women mean that they can just do all those "disgusting things" that men have been doing to them over the years, doesn't seem to be much "moral high ground" if that's the case ;)

No way. Actor is a male oriented term; to re purpose it as the word for both genders would be to assume that women are an afterthought in a male dominated society.

If men and women are to use the same collective noun, then it must be a new gender-neutral word not previously owned by men.

So we ought to call them "actrs". We shall rid ourselves of the old genders. No more "actor" for men, or "actress" for women, rather now we are all an actr.

Of course, female actrs are best actrs. I don't know why men bother to get up in the morning, tbh. Useless sacks of ****.

Sadly yes. I've seen it as well. Though they never said sexist pig to them but got very offended when somebody kept the door open for her.

While others at doctors surgeries and such were grateful. Even those with buggies.

Your post had me intrigued until I realised I had misread that as "budgies".
 
I hope Helen Mirren never catches a glimpse of all those woman who walk around with one hand in their boyfriend's back pocket. Goodness knows what she'd think of that...

:rolleyes:

Probably empowerment, women being the dominant power in the relationship, viva la revolution and all that.

But god forbid a mans hand comes within 2 metres of a womans posterior.....


Also, on the original, how does the arm over shoulder thing works in gay relationships in helen's mind i wonder, is a man "owning" a man or indeed a woman "being owned" by a woman unnacceptable?


I suspect that in the majority of cases the person in the relationship who puts their arm over the shoulder of the other is almost certainly going to correlate strongly with their physical height, and in purely statistical terms women are, on average, shorter than men, after all it would be more tricky to put your arm over the shoulder of someone taller than you.


That said god forbid i bring sensible, logical theories to a gd thread, shame on me :mad:

So says Helen Mirren...

Jesus Christ, it's like a full on assault on men these days. You can't pay a woman a compliment, and now putting your arm around them is looked down on.

One of the reasons I came back from Leeds working for my company was because I was pulled up for a compliment I made!

Lady who was ok looking helped me out with understanding a few things that others couldn't help with as I was new up there and apparently I was the only asking genuine questions to improve the process - so I said "Thank you so much for that, it has really helped my understanding - brains as well as beauty."

Although she might have taken offence because she genuinely thought she wasn't attractive so thought I was taking the mickey? :confused:

I've been single for years because it is so difficult to meet women nowadays without them assuming you are a creep and I'm far too good for you to even acknowledge you as no one goes to pubs up town except old men....

Actor is a perfectly acceptable gender-neutral term. It has been used as a gender-neutral noun since the 17th century.

Across all walks of life we are being conditioned, probably more today than at any other time.

We're supposed to see strong women as brave, determined, creative, smart. We're supposed to look at men in positions of power and wonder why there isn't a woman doing his job (or if a woman couldn't do it better).

We're supposed to look at households where the man works and the women looks after the kids as "old-fashioned" and "backwards".

We're supposed to look at immigrants as brave, hard-working, educated, motivated, go-getters. We're supposed to look at our own unemployed as lazy, entitled, a drain on society.

You could go on and on. There are a set of "groupthink" stereotypes that we're supposed to believe in, and there's something wrong with you if you disagree.

@Tunney: did you read my post and for one second think it was supposed to be serious? I'm so sorry, mate.

Haha indeed!


PC-ness is going way to far these days, don't these feminazi's have anything better to do or worry about?

Remember the way it works in modern society;

If you compliment a woman, and she's attracted to you, she'll appreciate the compliment and be happy.

If you compliment a woman and she isn't attracted to you, you're a creep and what you said was inappropriate and possibly sexual harassment.

I understand feminists, but when they say crap like this, it is just dumb...

Yes, unfair, but true...

If this commercial had a guy singing about a woman, well that would be wrong... Women are hypocrites...

Society is always changing but I would wager a large portion of the people who make the comments that they've been 'victims' of SJW are actually talking rubbish.

We're not as big of a PC culture as the Daily Mail would have you to believe.
All this 'radical feminism' is blown out of proportion, and very few people are actually like that
