Don’t be honking at me, lad!

This just made my day.
Do some men just never stop honking at women?
*See the airbag?

That was cool.
Something to aspire to in later years methinks.
Yes I can see me and you aspiring to this stormy. I keep coming back to it and having a good laugh
The only flaw in my plan is a dislike of handbags.
But I do do backpacks.
I’m waiting for a particular troll to turn up and say that I’m advocating violence against men.
o.O
Violence against cars surely? Anyway why wait - Just dress up a la Steven Gerrard and let rip……I’m sure all the gear can be purchased at your local charity shops - the idea of a marauding group of Hell’s grannies sounds very good to me.
Hey, you know polly we could like totally get away with this one - like…
Remember bumper nuts? he classed Amy’s plastic bollox al la truck appendage ‘castration’ as ——violence against men! http://www.feminist-reprise.org/wpblog/2007/12/02/a-genre-is-born/
This is a decoy to lure him in.
Ha, ha, this one is funny!
ref - bumper nuts
If only I still had those photos…
sez she who has willingly participated in mass castrations
That made my day too, thanks Sparkle!
What a great woman! Wonderful reaction!
Actually, on the ‘violence against menz’ theme, it is not surprising that they (MRAs/trolls) would take the above actions as ‘violence against menz’.
For they think that the car is an extension of themselves.
Even the dude above was using the car as an extension of himself.
Frankly, in the above video, it was the dude that needed the handbag to the head, not the poor car.
Yup, I have more feelings towards the car than I do to an egotistical jerk.
Indeed.
We then have to ask, is violence against men the problem?
Given that half the Hollywood films have the theme of violence against men — specifically men’s violence against men — then ‘violence against men’ is not a problem, in fact, it is worshipped.
Ahhh, but FEMALE violence against men — well, that’s just an affront to Manhood(TM) and ALL men.
The fear is of course, in case the female ‘wins’ in this contest. That then shatters the entire fundamentals of Manhood(TM), you know, being beaten by a lessor, a ‘girl’. Let’s face it, clinging onto their physical/strength advantage is all they’ve got. The rest is pretty much a level playing field (except it is now being proven that girls excel boys in academics these days). Oh dear.
So boyz, you had better keep on proving how superior you are by raping and beating up those who are physically smaller than you. Mmmm yes indeedy. That’ll prove the Almighty Manhood(TM). That and get a big car. And terrorise little old ladies. Have I reminded you menz how pathetic you are lately?
This is fantastic. I love that woman. I don’t have a car, for political (no blood for oil) and environmental reasons and I am constantly getting yelled at and beeped at when crossing roads. I’m bloody sick of it and I am always tempted to kick the fricking cars. My brother has that really terrible video game grand theft auto. Which is a horrible game, incredibly misogynist and boring and violent. But I played it for a bit and found out that you could bash up the cars. And I, in a very unfeminist, unpacifist fashion, proceeded to bash up all the cars on the road. I must have so much pent up fury at cars. I really don’t like them. So one day I’ll be that woman, bashing up cars with her bag. I actually have a patch that says, “pedestrians attack cars in this neighbourhood”. I need to stick it on my backpack!
Stormy, you made an interesting point there, one I’ve not thought about before. Men enjoy men’s violence against other men but go berserk about female on men violence. Hmm yes the ‘gods’ can fight each other but forget about the subordinates retaliating.
Allecto I know what you mean about the not having a car business. I really wish I could do without one but I live semi-rural and work rural with a crappy bus service in that direction. Agh Grand Theft Auto! My ex used to play this game and even he had the integrity to look at least a little bit embarrassed when he had sex with the prostitute in the car - murdered her and took his money back! The worst was that his 13yo nephew had showed him the tactic.
Well, let’s look at the ‘guy flicks’. Most are about war and shooting each other, some are spy movies where they blow each other up (this second category is the ‘classy’ end). I am hard pressed to think what other subjects they cover, but it usually involves revenge, prooving the hero, and most importantly — shooting lots of people and blowing things up — that, and some sub-plot about getting laid by the most beautiful women.
So really, 95% or more ‘guy flicks’ are about male-on-male violence of one sort or another. Getting laid is secondary.
The interest for men is not about sex as they make out (when defending porn), it is about male-on-male violence. This could also explain why so much violence gets into porn, because violence is and always has been the ‘turn on’.
She is now my idol. I’m going to be ornery and stubborn as well as wearing purple when I’m old.
i think you’re advocating violence against men.
anything to oblige.
i liked the point about being happy about man on man violence (and outraged by woman on man) but lots of very conservative men seem to get incredibly angry (and yes - violent) about OTHER men behaving violently towards women - and not even ‘their’ women. generally less concern about sexual violence perhaps because of the denial of its existence.
maybe it’s not just conservative men - maybe its all of us. disappears to check own motives…
’shooting lots of people and blowing things up’
when those bits of the film come on my partner goes ‘du-luh-luh-luhuh’ because her brother used to make films in the back garden and whenver that sequence came up he (and i think she) would run around miming a gun and going ‘du-luh-luh-luhuh’.
now we do that together at the tv…
and he is now a hollywood director.
i have no idea what that proves…except that i really have no life.

She’s very, very lucky he’s not a quick-thinking psycho who would claim that his foot hit the gas as he collapsed unconscious from the airbag deployment, running her down. It would all be on video as an “unfortunate accident”, and the video would tend to exonerate him rather than anything else. I live in a very wealthy and high-speed/high-traffic area and people play “chicken” with me all the time, viewing pedestrians as an encumbrance to their high-status/high-speed lifestyle. I also can’t really fathom the degree of callousness that would lead one to hustle a pedestrian by honking the horn, either. There is something to be said for not oppressing the vulnerable by adding the burden of one’s aggression to their lives. Basic human decency, too.
Hi Eurosabra and welcome. Wow that’s a very good point you bring up but yeah I can’t understand how anyone could harass an elderly person?
