Feminist garbage/misinformation.
Right... Laughably, someone on a different thread once claimed that there's no misogeny on this site. Hilarious.
Not that your response seems accurate in terms of what MrGN said, but if it was apt then the initial comment from all those anonymous women could equally be described as misandry. At this point it's uncorroborated second hand hearsay at best.
Ooh goody. You've turned up to tell me I'm wrong. How fking predictable.

You certainly come across as a misandrist...

Did TB call you in, or was it the other way round? Still, I'm glad you know the right word for it now...

Really so you are calling me a liar when I say that most women I know will have had this happen to them

Unless the ladies watch a lot of South Park, in which case they will LOVE you for it.

(OH has every episode on DVD, and uses this phrase more than I do. I may have to introduce her to the lighting up the tampon string one).

If anyone would know the correct gender specific variant it would be you...

Are you an actual lezzer because you've certainly got a downer on men.

Actually no problem with the sand one but believe me, go very carefully with any tampon insults when talking to a woman, I am very easygoing but if a man said that to me, there would be suffering in their future.

You know how some posters think that moderate Muslims need to stand up and codemn the actions of their more militant brethren? I like to think that I'm aware of how st some men can be in their attitudes towards women and I will point this out when I deem it relevant.

My girlfriend was once approached on the street, in the middle of the day, by a chap who asked her for sex then preceded to follow her home saying he 'had a tenner'. In the end the weight of his two shopping bags slowed him up sufficiently so she could get away. Police were involved but he'd disappeared. Then last year somebody approached her in a bus stop at 8am and said he'd driven past, saw her and thought he'd park up and see if she wanted sex.

This isn't people chatting her up, just imagine your daughter, alone on her way to work and some guy telling her that or even yourself being approached by somebody who is physically, much bigger and stronger than you telling you that 'you're fit and your turning them on, do you want some'?.

If you think it doesn't happen just ask your daughters, friends, wives etc and they will tell you stories of men rubbing their crotches against woman on the train or trying to pass off a quick breast grope as a stumble. It's hugely prolific and I had no idea of the scale till my misses started pointing it out to me, it's not just 'feminist rubbish' it's utterly shocking when your other half phones you in floods of tears after yet another bald, overweight gobste has massively overstepped the boundaries of normal behaviour.

Best stay off the tube then, just in case you scare any women by your mere presence.

Yep. Sadly tales like this are all too common. My girlfriend has experienced exactly the scenarios you desribe. The 'best' ones are when the men start off 'charming' (or at least their idea of it) but when rebuffed become snarling animals threating to stab and rape the target of their amorous intentions. Lovely.

But, you know, this never happens and anyone who says it does in a feminazi lesbian.

For those of us with long legs it isn't always optional. On many trains I used to go on the only way to fit my legs in was to wedge them apart at right angles or sit sideways and trail them in the aisle.

I had the misfortune to fly Easyjet a few years back, the seats are so close together I literally could only get in there with my legs jammed wide apart and the rest of me jacked so far back/up the seat that I had a clear view up the whole plane (mine was the only head thus elevated). Then of course two tiny Asian women came and sat next to me and gave me dirty looks because of my discourteous seating position irked. You'd think that seats would be designed for at least 90% of humans but it seems many are intended purely for Ewoks and Hobbits.

Have you ever met a woman, you know, in an actual social situation where you need to make conversation?

I have a missus and two teenage daughters, I try to avoid women whenever possible.

I'm so glad I no longer have to use public transport daily. My old bus journeys were an uncomfortable hour each way, which doesn't sound like a long time but feels like it when you're being bounced around on a large bus, on narrow potholed roads, with the rear tyres hitting kerbstones around corners and with your knees jammed against the plastic seat back in front of you. Add the heavy laptop bag on your lap and some of the morons you had to tolerate and it was just miserable; I'd feel more tired after an hour of that than I would if I'd cycled it.

I actually used the "who lit your tampon" line on the wife the other day, was met with a chuckle and a defrosting of the previous strop as she found it funny. Maybe she is just a little more relaxed than you ant hill women on account of living somewhere where your sight line is further than 50 feet and every damned thing is not grim and concrete.

do you honestly not see how the mental image of an angry lady and the imagery of a lit fuse and the subsequent BANG of a monumental, hormone fuelled kick off could be funny to a lady who does not take herself too seriously???

try moving out of london, your humour gland may possibly start functioning again...

This has got to be trolling. 1960s Bond thinks that attitude is outdated.

Why is it that every debate on feminism, more than most other subjects, devolves into a stupidity contest? Which the critics of feminism seem to win. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty fking marginal at times.
