@Rosie_Rocket do you want a sample of the craziness?

@Rosie_Rocket @1party4all: @ZASaunders Why #feminism is bad deal for women if they are not that into sex http://thebattlefieldoflove.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/why-feminism-is-bad-deal-for-women-if.html …

@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket I think when feminists say "crazy" sometimes they just mean "heresy" as in heretical to #feminism.

@1party4all I didn't say you had - I said that what you sent me was an example of the kind of things I have been sent

@1party4all @ZASaunders So in short, you have totally and utterly missed the point of feminism.

Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket It is true what I said about feminism being a bad deal if you are not that into sex! Come on, admit that at least.

@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket If something is incontrovertibly logically true, it cannot be crazy.

@ZASaunders I never said feminists were "man-hating loonies". Selfish ambitious and silly maybe. You are confusing me with someone else.
10:57 AM - 22 Nov 12
Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders The reason why you are "bombarded" (hardly!) is because you are on my list of feminists and lawyers.

@1party4all @rosie_rocket what is the point of the patriarchy?
6:18 PM - 23 Nov 12
Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket The point of the patriarchy is to preserve the patriarchy. Which is the lesser evil?

@1party4all @rosie_rocket feminism [is the lesser evil], as it argues that men & women should be treated equally rather than the patriarchy which oppresses women

@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket Does the #matriarchy not oppress men? Why are you saying oppressing men is better than oppressing women?

@1party4all @rosie_rocket @fathers4justice significant difference between 'feeling' oppressed & actually being oppressed

@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket @Fathers4Justice How would you define oppression?

Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders So you are saying women are more unjustly treated than men? How would you measure this? By how much they whinge and moan?
4:41 AM - 24 Nov 12
Zoe Saunders @ZASaunders
@1party4all no - by the up to date statistical evidence of different pay for women & men doing the same jobs & continuing glass ceiling >

@ZASaunders It is the greatest injustice to treat unequal things equally.

@ZASaunders Feminism allows women to do men's jobs badly while neglecting their own.

@1party4all @ZASaunders As far as my own feminism and every other feminist I know is concerned, egalitarian is probably a better word.

@1party4all @ZASaunders You seem to think matriarchy is a direct opposite of patriarchy. It isn't.

@Rosie_Rocket @1party4all I entirely agree :)

@1party4all @rosie_rocket the matriarchy doesn't exist - men are not oppressed so there is no validity to that point
12:29 PM - 24 Nov 12
Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket How do you know men are not oppressed? How would you know if they are or not?
12:30 PM - 24 Nov 12
Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket A patriarchy is a society that condones male promiscuity. Would you agree with this statement?
12:31 PM - 24 Nov 12
Zoe Saunders @ZASaunders
@1party4all @rosie_rocket where is your evidence that [men are oppressed by the matriarchy]? You asserted they were so prove it
12:31 PM - 24 Nov 12
Claire Khaw @1party4all
@ZASaunders @Rosie_Rocket The existence of Men's Rights groups and @Fathers4Justice suggests men are feeling oppressed.

Notice which question these feminists have not answered.

It seems Zoe Saunders has even won a scholarship. I would say this is a rather dishonest and unsporting debate, but perhaps typical of the way feminists conduct debates and defend the indefensible.
