>>>>Hi again MrBen - just got back from Sainsbury's!

Thank you for the compliments, but just to let you know we already have two lovely grown up daughters.

Have nice evening!

(Hi again BM - left a message on one your threads, leelapops too. Good news at last! -x-)

Sorry about that MrBen.
I am, with great difficulty, restraining myself from saying a lot of things here. Mr Ben, shut up! I don't mean to be rude, but you know very well that a woman posting on a news issue is an entirely different matter to a man posting on say, a question about endometriosis treatment! What�s wrong with you?
Question Author
Exactly. My original point goodsoulette was, why do women answer on items of news and politics of which they have no idea of what they are answering about.
At least i know you understand my question now...
the fact is that a large proportion of women have caused you to think like this as they are apathetic and care only for themselves, and yes i am speaking as a woman myself! however there are that minority who spend a large portion of their time articulating opinions of world issues and politics, so my advice is don't be so damn generic in your assumptions mr ben 5
That sketch leapt to my mind too! Love it! 4get, you only watch the news because it's on just before your soaps.... :D lol! Please know I am joking!

MrBen, not worth dignifying your q really pet. Don't feign surprise at a question so obviously designed to irk people. Get a life.
Question Author
Hmmm, very nicely put arewenant. :)

Your right actually now that i think about it like that...
Oohhh, mature!
You knew the comments that a post like this would receive, which makes me think you have something against a woman, not women in general and decided to start a few arguments. Good for you.
I'm going to get back to my cooking and ironing now, as I'm sure when my husband gets back from the gentlemen's club he will be expecting supper on the table. I would hate him to think I'm under the impression that I don't live to serve his every whim.
I'd also like to point out that no women have been arrested for things such as terrorism or paedophilia lately.
thanks mr ben 5, the small group of articulate women often find it difficult to be seen and heard when there's houswives and people like jordan around! (i'll probably offend with that- oh well!)
Haha arwenant, well put. You are an articulate woman.
But still, I think you should get back to the stove. Maybe make MrBen a cake and apologise for your rudeness? ;)

*I should also point out, with regards to the last post - I am 16 and do not have a husband =D*

Hmmm, well leelapop petal, my question only seems to have irk you and others who think they are too good to be seen answering certain questions.
Remember leelapops petal, your just a name on here. There is no shame in answering questions.
People who answer questions on here have a life also... ;)
Thats not what you said now is it? If you are genuinely not trying to come across as a pig then you should word your questions much much better....

POST ONE but do you think women should be posting their views in the news section?

POST TWO I suppose i should have worded it differently, like maybe "should women be getting involved in mens affairs" (again insinuating news for men only)

POST THREE i am not being sexist i am just asking if you think its right that they post in a news section when they dont really follow any news or politics.

POST FOUR The point i was trying to make (but as always i fail to word it right) is would any women take any notice of a guy posting something about how pregnancy affects them. yup still looking offensive...

POST FIVE No i meant if he was commenting on what it is like being pregnant to me that sounds like you think a woman following the news is as alien as a pregnant man

finally on like post 9 or something you say what you say you meant originally ..... My original point goodsoulette was, why do women answer on items of news and politics of which they have no idea of what they are answering about.

To which I would have had to responded why do so many men post answers on news questions to which they know nothing about? Its not reserved to the fairer sex MR Ben.
hi clairey, thanks! although i really am beginning to think we've mis judged mr ben, he seems a little overwhelmed by all the women out there who like acting ditsy for attention from men! lol!
Question Author
Hmmm, clairey, no women have been arrested for terrorism ???? ha ha
Nice one, that is my point on women staying away from the news section.
Thankyou, at last i have proven my point...
Question Author
Arewenant. You understand me :)
You will make someone a good wife...
HINT 'recently', another HINT I'm 16, and I don't particularly care what you think.
I'll take a leaf out of your book (if I REALLY must) "The point I was trying to make is" the country would be a whole lot better if it was run by a woman. Unfortunately we don't seem to have reached that stage yet.

arwenant-Somehow, I don't think he's been misjudged. Although you do have a point about certain women acting like ditsy idiots for attention. If you ask me, there are better ways to get yourself noticed, and that sort of act often attracts the wrong kind of attention....
cheers! 18 and i have wisdom! woohoo! i'll go back to studying now!

clairey i totally agree with you, Thatcher was a good strong leader and she was a woman. I am not saying there are no great women around, there are/was loads.
Carmen electra, Halle berry, the Ed on here ;) ,Princess Diana, maybe you when you grow up.
I suppose i am not very good at wording, but a few seem to know what i mean.
Its just the women who have been messed around by guys and the ones who have been really hurt by guys who get really defensive when it comes to questioning there intelligence/involvement in mens things.
Anyway, end of thread now . I am gonna just stick to answering Q's instead of asking them...
No, your not very good at wording, ie "when you grow up".
I guess if you really didn't mean it in the extremely sexist way it came across (at least to me) you could be forgiven.
Still, news affects men and women equally, as you should realise!
And please, even if it is to prove a point, don't answer any threads on pregnancy.
tata.
I don't think you should be allowed to post questions full stop on ab...!
