That semed a bit "too weird". Actually, it's just saying that both were graduates of the private preparatory boarding school genre.

I went to Branksome.

Oh, and I Am A Man-Hating Vagina Warrior, so sign me up -- though will this invalidate my BWAGA membership?

I wonder if (elsewhere on this forum) I jokingly called for a woman hating penis club, what the reaction would be?

Wonder no more. Here is the reaction:

1) You're ruining a good joke.
2) Instead of "wondering" why didn't you start a thread calling for a woman-hating penis club and see what the reaction would be...you know, to satisfy your curious, not-at-all-faux-naif mind.
3) If you generally don't get jokes or wit, be extra careful when you post.

...I'm sure I can think of a few other reactions.

It would lose the current cheerful mocking quality, I think. Too many (males) would happily join such a club...in all seriousness. Not funny.

I don't think so. Especially among the more elightened (?) readers of Rabble.

Of course, if this were another sort of web-site (like a Howard Stern fan club, or something like that), I am sure there would be penty of men who would express a wish to join a woman hating club.

But, even among the "Howard Stern website", I am quite confident that a lot of lager louts would still have enough sense to recognize that it was going beyond the bounds of acceptable humour.

Michelle, I was not offended. I was merely addressing what seemed to be an acceptable hypocracy. I was awaiting a rational response. If I am wrong, then I am willing to be shown why.

Don't get me wrong. I am not hurt by "man hating club" whether it is just a joke or has a kernal of truth. I am merely contemplating the reaction if the tables were turned.

---

If you're going full-tilt on the faux-naïf, Gabong, at least spell "hypocrisy" and "kernel" properly.

*sigh*

Yes, well, now that the esoteric reference of the original comment has been highlighted for me, I see the humor.

However, it should be noted that this is a public forum and not everyone who occasionally reads these threads has also read discussions in other threads.

I don’t know why you are suggesting that my inquiries are insincere. I was not aware that the babbler forum was not the right place for genuine scrutiny of political and social opinions.

Why don’t you try not being so condescending in your replies?

Also, do you really believe that a few spelling errors are evidence of an inferior intelligence. If so, would you object if I pointed out the spelling errors in other opinions expressed her that I do not agree with?

gabong, your funny handle combined with your obstinate refusal to recognise the obvious makes you a target for teasing; feel free to:

1. take offence.
2. laugh along with us.
3. flounce.
4. pretend to go along while ridiculing us behind our backs.
5. respond in kind.

The link to the other thread was posted by fern hill in the 11th post to this thread - well before your post decrying the "reverse sexism". She wrote:

What is this thread about, anyway?

But why, oh why, is the Branksome ad still there? Truly bizarre. Somewhere, on someone's blog, there's got to be a "Branksome Hall education" = man-hating feminist statement.

I'd like to be a man-hating vagina warrior, but I think really I'm more of a warrior-hating vagina man*.

Same here.

By the way, has that been nominated to the Babble Quote Hall of Fame yet? It should be. In fact, I'll do that now.

Agreed.

I am a Warrior-Hating Vagina Man.

Incidentally, I move that the Warrior-Hating Vagina Men be incorporated as a Gentlemen's Auxilliary to the Man-Hating Vagina Warriors, assuming responsibility for the serving of tea and crumpets, for the fluffing of pillows and otherwise for the provision of interior decoration services at Man-Hating Vagina Warrior mobilisation meetings.
