Who said this was about global feminism?

I did
...A piece of empty rhetoric in order to glorify your own singular Daily Mail-like take on the matter - do you realise quite how arrogant and audacious it is to claim to speak for the interests, wishes and desires of half the world's population, and dictate what they should or shouldn't do (as well as claim to know the motivations)?


The Happy Room A room dedicated by r3ok with the decimal number '10' where, from time to time, members get bored with the happiness and (in a pseudo-Orwellian manner) add a final '1' to the room number so that they can then attack other members who (they feel) have unjustly expressed horror and displeasure at things that have been pleasurable to them.
