    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Masculism

    Your rampant misogyny aside, can I just say that you have horrible taste? Jo Brand is both hilarious and also a breath of fresh air, being an older woman who regularly appears on TV. She's also a local celebrity, but that's beyond the point. Don't you think that might be a feminist issue as...

    Masculism

    They're not 'discriminating'. You wouldn't demand that a prostate cancer charity also gives funding towards breast cancer research, would you? Then focus on raising awareness of male abuse victims rather than trying to downplay the importance of female abuse victims. I've said it before, this...

    Masculism

    Political correctness is a ridiculous strawman invented by newspaper columnists looking for easy copy. Pretty much any story of 'PC gone mad' actually boils down to fabrication or misinterpretation. If you read this thread, there's plenty of good reasons why you should support feminism rather...

    Masculism

    I really don't see the point of masculism as a movement. As surskittailsy pointed out, feminism already exists to address gender inequality, and supporting feminism equates to destroying prescriptive gender roles anyway. So, all the expectations that men should be the main breadwinner, women...
