Feminism in the world of animals? Should it exist?

[THE Bigzoman]

Ants and bees.

Meerkats.

10 char.

[Chirri]

Actually queen bees (and ants and termites) don't tell the hive what to do. They're basically there to lay eggs.

I can't speak for ants, but don't bees kick the male bees out, so hives consist of their queen, lots and lots and lots of female drones, and baby males that ... get kicked out once they're old enough?

Huh. Interesting.

It's kind of strange, try to avoid talking about it since I don't really know much about it other than listening to someone speak about it. They were talking about how they have a difficult time with their sexlife sometimes because they'd be like fucking their boyfriend and halfway through the 8 year old boy would take over the body and then everything gets really weird.

So wait..

A girl bee's only job is to have sex and lay eggs?

I don't see the problem here. Queen bees get it easy.

Only the queen. All other worker bees are females.

Thats pretty fucked, people like that should not be in romantic relationships.

That sounds like something I thought my psychology class would of touched...instead we just watched Sybil.

Sounds like a certain sweatshop....

Yeah, apparently they've gotta be really careful with like, cues and stuff and paying a lot of attention to how the other person is reacting so they can stop if something changes.

I never did psychology but my friend took it to uni and now into her job and from what she's told me of it they don't touch on a lot of stuff they really should, but... that's education I suppose.

male bees leave the hive to go mate with a queen in another hive. All bees in the hive they were born in are either their mother, the queen, or their sisters, which are infertile anyway.

[Katchii]

This is ridiculous, and the fact that your friend feels like she has the right to enforce human feminist ideals onto the animal kingdom is a kind of SJW hypocrisy I've never even heard of.....

Touché.

Sounds pretty matriarchal to me still. Although I guess your point was it isn't matriarchal for the reasons being said.

See, when I do feminism threads, it's fun and everyone gets on board the "bash erin with a stick" train but when someone else does it, it's just not the same. Gen OT needs me like batman needs the joker

Don't flatter yourself. At best you're the Penguin.
Not to be sexist.

I feel like people romanticize romance to a degree. As long as nobody's hurting anyone then they can do whatever or whoever they want.

Pretending to be an 8 year old boy boy halfway through sex is pretty fucked.

Erin can be whoever Erin wants, she don't need your oppression!

Awhhh shit son.

Who went there, I WENT THERE.

[yeast]

Any kind batman metaphor is the most liberating thing there is. I'm sorry you don't understand that.

Hey, as long as it isn't an actual 8 year old boy and I'm not forced to be a part of it.

[Daethz]

Wish we could just ban feminists from talking.
also the male maleinists or whatever of the same thing, im all for equal rights.

Well, that's the thing. To the particular system involved, it's viewed not as pretending to be an 8 year old boy, but actually IS an 8 year old boy. If you fully believe that an 8 year old boy is driving your meatsuit, is it okay to have sex?

Feminism and related subjects are too serious and volatile a subject to have threads like this about them. We do not need threads about every outlandish thing people say in private, especially not with a subject like this.
