Do you beep at fit girls?

I would prefer it if neither of us played the patronising card. I find it a little patronising that you think I'm thinking within a privileged enviroment when I'm on something not too much greater than minimum wage supporting a family. It's not a particularly privileged box at all. At least, it doesn't feel like one. I would say we just have a real conversation without worrying about patronising the other - as I'm sure neither of us intend to be so.

What are the real issues you'd like us to solve and what can we do to accomplish our goals? As far as I can see, compared to lots of other women around the world, the UK is pretty high up the ladder with the battles of voting, employment, divorce rights etc already won. What are these real issues and what can we do to fix them?

No. Have some respect.

how in anyway is it disrespectful?

if i saw a 10/10 id honk to oblivion

Because it makes many more women feel uncomfortable and like sexual objects, than it does desirable and confident or anything else positive.

If a guy beeped at me i would probally take my shoe off, ****ing smash my shoe in his front window until it goes through to his face and ask him what he wanted after making him pay for that compensation on his car and face Savage level 100 no repect for these f boys

We are privileged, here in the West, both having come from educated middle class families. Immensely so. We've dealt with the big issues within our little world, and there's a huge population of women out there who have far far far less than you can ever imagine having. You are in a tiny percentage of incredibly privileged people. And so, there is plenty of need for feminism, and tackling these issues is hardly what you could think of as ridiculous.

I don't play cards. It certainly is patronising to assume ( though I don't believe you actually assume this) that women want careers to enable them to buy bigger houses and better cars. Come on, we want careers for the same variety of reasons as you guys do.

As for the issues still to be fixed, I think most of the work to be done surrounds our attitudes toward women, and if I'm allowed to say it, issues concerning the treatment of women that have been imported from other cultures such as FGM, breast ironing, honour killings. Being in the position we are and being the example we are, we should do as much as we can to change the lives of women around the world, in places where feminism is yet to be scoffed at in the way it is over here. Oh dear.

Fair enough. That's reasonable. There's plenty for us to do overseas. How can we actually help, though? You were proclaiming action and not talking but I haven't got the foggiest idea what to do against FGM, breast ironing or honour killings apart from complain about them on TSR!
