How can you people keep talking about feminism when someone has shown us the sort of stems Jeremy Corbyn is riding with?!?

6″ riser stem and drop bars ??? WTF

I don’t feel a need to be ’empowered’ as such, but I’m not one to suffer fools gladly and anyone, male or female, will feel the sharp end of my wit should they treat me like anything other than a human being.

I’ve found that men, generally, do not like a woman who is better than them at something that is traditionally seen as a ‘male’ activity.
Glad you emphasised generally, FWIW, I really couldn’t give a toss what gender the person is, I just want them to do the job, whatever it is, properly, and generally speaking, I prefer working with women rather than men.
My current working environment is practically all women; there are only two blokes, including me, among around a dozen full-time staff, even our temps are predominantly female, and my supervisor is female. And Welsh, but that’s a whole other issue… 😉

So, and this is addressed to the OP – are all women now split into two groups – feminists/not feminists ?

I was getting bored with the whole Madonna/whore thing, so I guess that has shaken the 21st century up a bit.

I’d give up the vote if it meant I could be a housewife and not have to do a man’s job for a living

As a man, I love women that are better than me (or at a similar level to me) at a “male” activity. But I may well be the exception rather than the rule.

I have great difficulty bringing up my daughter in a non-sexist way due to the massive amount of sparkly pinkness that gets lobbed her way by wider society and, more importantly, the lack of “male” toys and things she is given.

(Still, minor win, last week I convinced her that her toy princesses needed to check the fluids on the toy car before they went driving about in it. Super proud she played along, even though they got imaginary oil on their dresses and had to put them in the wash)

I medically diagnosed myself, the experts diagnosed, er, differently. Who was right?

In this example I have no idea but statistically speaking the person with the 7 years medical training and decades worth of specialism in the actual medical area will outperform a patient with access to google.

Based on this thread you’re wrong in two situations:
1. The patient is male and the doctor is female (wimminz know nothing)
2. The patient is female and the doctor is male (all men are sexists who don’t listen to women)

I think we should encourage self treatment and the wide scale shunning of the medical profession. It will free up medical resources for the less gullible and weed out morons from the gene pool.

As for Jeremy Corben’s stem – what was he thinking?
