I expect most Ad execs are men though so being angry at women about it is not sensible, it would be better to write to the TV company (offcom?) or set up a downing st petition.

Have you thought about how you might do something like that?

I have had no such problems with most women. Some of the nicest women I've met have been feminists.

Not that I'm going to trade one anecdote for another as "proof" of anything.


I was not trying to prove anything by the post I made that you quoted. I was providing an explanation as to why I hold the views I do and why I am not a card carrying feminist. But lemme tell ya, you are not going to change my opinion about this issue by arguing with me on the internet. Furthermore, when you and other feminists ITT insist that feminism is 100% in favor of equality and counterexamples to this claim are presented, you try to dismiss them as anecdotes when YOU are the one making the universal claim. Though I have a sneaky suspicion that your positive experiences with feminists, and women in general leads you to feel sympathetic to them as a group. In any case, I think I've pretty much said all I need to say about this topic.

Be a leader. You don't seem to have that presence about you. You'd need to develop this.

What's wrong with it? You seem more like the sort of person without a strong outward personality, one that could lead. You need to develop your outward personality, I would say. You can do it, just needs some work. :)

I'd love to see a more confident you. You need to come out of your shell for it to work though, which is what leadership requires.

nobody said it was 100% of feminists who felt one way or another. maybe go back and read our actual posts?

why do you need to find a way to make some sort of insult disguised as advice?

EDIT: i should have held out and waited for the backhanded compliment, below. i KNEW it was coming. not cool, Tequila. seriously.

Can you do better? I'm trying to talk about things as they are. When I met her, she was very much in her shell and I couldn't coax her out no matter how hard I tried. There were flashes of the person she wants to be though. There is a strong person in there, she just needs to harness it. :)

How would you phrase it then? Come on then, give me an answer instead of having a go.

She's very meek and reserved in real life.
