Insight into misandry..let's play reverse the gender

[haahoo]

Are they haunted?

I imagine there are many ghosts amidst the ruins!

There is somthing pretty awesome about the immensity of the castles and their huge thick walls, the way they are built into the hillsides, apparently seemlessly with the rockface, and have stood their for nigh on 1000 years in some cases..

Wheathering all storms and all the forces of man and nature..

I wonder how incredible the medieval buoildings would have seemed to those who looked upon them, those who lived in wattle and daub homes, seeing the cathedrals towering before them..

Meanwhile, I note that homes built in the last 40 years are collapsing into the ground and crumbling away!

[haahoo]

Why apologize? I don't care if you like games more than you do women. That's your business!

The loss of my virginity as a young man was delayed by 3 years as a result of a refusal to tear myself away from the greatest and most hard to master video game ever in the history of the games market..

Williams Defender!!

They dont make em like that anymore!!

Truly a clasic if ever there was one. It needs to be historically recorded...here: http://antimisandry.com/retro-gaming...ever-1474.html

Are they haunted?

The main castles of Britain...not including very many more smaller but still ancient edifices calling themselves castles.

Here is an alphabetical list of the main castles - the flags denote the UK country in which they are located. Are you familiar with the UK constituent nation flags? England: red cross on white background; Scotland: blue diagonal cross on whie background; Wales: the red dragon emblem....the flag of Wales does NOT appear on the main UK flag - the Union Flag, or Union Jack as it is nicknamed....this is a bone of contention among our Taffy (Welsh) brothers and sisters.

Merely click on each castle name and you will enter it's page complete with picture and historical background.

My favourite castles are mostly in Wales because they are so huge and so impressive due mainly to their coastal locations - they are strung along the whole Welsh coastline from the Welsh/English border in the north east to the Welsh/English border in the south east.....starting in the north: Flint (featured in Shakespeare's Richard II), Rhuddlan, Conwy, Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Criccieth, Harlech, Aberystwyth, Pembroke, Caerphilly and lastly Chepstow, right on the border with England again in the south. All of them very impressive and protected and maintained by various official Anciuent Monument bodies.

The castle in Wales were built by the English King Edward I in the 13th century following his invasion of Wales and attempted subjugation of the Welsh people, but it wasn't until 1536 that Wales was annexed to England under one Crown. Scotland didn't merge with the English (and Welsh) Crown until 1603 and even then it didn't officially become part of a United Kingdom until 1707.

Over the centuries English efforts to subdue the Welsh and eradicate their ancient language and culture have pretty well failed miserably. In some parts of Wales the Welsh language is still the main everyday means of communication for about 70% of the people, but everybody 100% is able to speak English of course.

Not on the above list is our local castle at Eastnor - picture in the link below - 2 miles from my home. It is the scene of the Big Chill pop festival each July, and loads and loads of other events in the parkland all around the castle and the lake, and lots of people get married there, including quite a few famous people - actors and actresses and TV people for instance.

I know these last posts of mine have been totally irrelevant to this Forum and I'm susprised I've got away with it so far, but I felt like a break from my usual carpings and railings afgainst the wholesale misandry we see arouynd us day in and day out. I need a break fom that as this has been quite cathartic, but I'll be back to "normal" very soon, just you see.

PS: Yes, Tara - many of the castles or old mansions or abbey ruins or whatever are "reputed to be haunted".....I reckon it's all part of the ambience of these ancient edifices....a ghost is a must. I've yet to see anything resembling a ghost, but I've never been in a castle or old mansion at night, and ghosts don't usually emerge during the day do they?

We have a local guide here in Ledbury who, during the summer months, runs a "Ghost Tour" of the town as some of the old 16th/17th century inns and pubs and public buildings are "supposed" to be haunted. It seems to satisfy the tourists and any locals who claim to have seen a ghost usually do so on their way home from the pub after chucking out time.

The headless ghost of Anne Boleyn has apparently been seen by loads of people at the Tower of London where she was literally axed in 1536...."with her 'ead tucked underneath 'er arm she walks the Bloody Tower still...."

Cheers.

So far this is the greatest thing done on here.

The reverse the sexes game is a very good one to play, I've been doing it for quite a few years now, my wife is actually the one that though it up. We were watching TV (which is rare for us) and there was a commercial for shaving cream, 6-8 scantily clad women fawing over a guy as they shaved his face, with the sexes reversed it would have just been really odd.

Since then I have used the "reverse the sexes" game to reasonable effect, typically with female child rapist situations, although that is not all that effective use of it as most female rapist cases that are publicized are cases where the woman is attractive so most guys just state how they'd love to be raped .

Wow. Off topic pretty quick !

That was a refreshing post Ledburian. A nice reminder of 'home'. Mind you. from just up the road on my mountain I look out across the D'Entracastaux Channel and five headlands receding into the distance. The sun on the waters is splendid.

I'm glad you liked it, Percy - it really seems as if you could do with some light relief - my best wishes to you, mate!

I apologise for this very blatant diversion from "matters in hand" - I promise it was a one off, as I felt like having a couple of "misandry free" days and seeing Tera's post about the possibility of her coming to England I thought I would jump in with a bit of the old Visit England thing!

English Heritage and the English Tourist Board both inform me that the cheques are now in the post!

Cheers.

Ledburian thanks for taking the time to write these posts- I agree with Percy they are a breath of fresh air- and I appreciate going off track ..especially when the train is taking me to a beautiful place that I can dream about and hopefully can someday see.

Thank you for sharing it with me.

I imagine there are many ghosts amidst the ruins!

Most of the time it's all pie in the sky romanticism...people like to assume that old, creepy looking buildings that have stood the test of time for many hundreds of years, all turrets and towers and ancient ramparts and ornate Gothic looking carvings and statuary are natural haunts for wandering spirits..such as that of a bereft young maiden who had thrown herself into the castle moat on hearing that her beloved brave and fearless warrior hero had died a bloody death on some battlefield somewhere during the Crusades or the Wars of the Roses or whatever and who had been condemned for ever more to wander the grounds or the spooky cobwebbed corridors of the castle as a tortured soul destined to scare the sh*te out of people who happened to be in those places on a dark and foggy English night.

But it's not always old buildings that are the scenes of spooky apparitions....I have read about comparatively modern buildings where the occupants have had to call in the services of the excorcists to banish for good persistent and highly annoying unwanted "guests" appearing at the top of the stairs and then swifty disappearing again..often through the wall of the loo....even ghosts get taken short apparently.

I wonder how incredible the medieval buoildings would have seemed to those who looked upon them, those who lived in wattle and daub homes, seeing the cathedrals towering before them..

You only have to walk around, inside and out of, Britain's cathedrals to marvel at the sheer size and skill and supreme intricacy of their architectural design......huge buildings which, in most cases, still dominate the respective cities' skylines in spite of all the tall, modern skyscraping office and apartment blocks or whatever surrounding them. All these cathedrals took many years to construct, and with human life being as cheap as it was back in the early or later Middle Ages many people involved in thie work died in the process......all of them MEN, naturally! That goes without saying really. There - I have gone some way to make this post even remotely connected to the accepted topics of this esteemed and highly respected Forum.

I promise this post will be the last off topic and totally irrelevant one fro me....I really promise that!

Meanwhile, I note that homes built in the last 40 years are collapsing into the ground and crumbling away!

I reckon that remark was made with tongue in cheek for the most part! Or at least a ceryain amount of exaggeration was used, probably intentionally. The British often use hyperbole, and the art of pisstaking and banter in this country is very often misconstrued elsewhere with the danger of offence being taken or that the remark is taken at face value and so taken seriously, which was not the intention of the Brit making such comments. Generally we are a quirky lot!

As for those cathedrals and castles of ours...it is an on going problem to keep them as well maintained and in as good condition as possible bearing in mind that they've been there for a thousand years or more, and have endured all the rigours of the British climate and pollution and, in many cases, the horrors of enemy action during two wars involving aerial bombardment.. That is why it is so important to donate some dosh each time you visit these glorious buildings. Our local diocesan cathedral here is that at Hereford, a lovely red sandstone building with a magnificent tower dominating the city and overlooking the River Wye.

Only one British cathdreal was totally destroyed during WW2 - that of Coventry in November 1940, but even there the outer shell of the main nave still stands - next to the new cathedral which replaced it - two vastly different architectutal styles side by side with each other - Ancient and Modern, as the Church of England Book of Common Prayer and Hymnal is termed.

St Paul's Cathedral in London miraculously escaped destruction or even serious damage during all the devastating air raids on London during WW2 - it survived largely intact , while practically every other building immediately surrounding it was flattened and razed and burned to the ground. Divine intervention you could call it.....and as people reputedly said at the time.....it was easy to see on whose side God was on!

That is the last non relevant post from me! Back to being indignant and pissed off by distorted feminism and misandry from now on...honest! I have loads and loads of material to work on...honest!

The latest one today is that women should not be allowed to work on night shifts in any job involving night work...apparently working at night can cause breast cancer....the nature of the job is irrelevant..it's all to do with night working it seems.

The gobbledegook behind this one is far too complex for my simple mind to digest right now.

Cheers.

PS: Tera....no problem! Honest! Happy to share with you in this way....a diversion from the daily grind and the straight and narrow now and again is fun isn't it? ;-)

Amazin' innit.

In Oz Breast cancer causes the death of 0.005% of women. So, of course, 100% should be prevented from doing night shift.

What's the betting that if a Government decided to pass a Law that prevented women working night shifts (which pay at a higher rate than day shift) that men would be blamed for oppressing women. It would call for a pay rise for women, of course, to make their pay up to the chap's average - which would include night shift rates.

[RebelliousVanilla]

I wonder what would they do if paying taxes would cause breast cancer... The government would be in a "moral" dilemma. lol

[Ledburian]

I'm back to fighting fit again now and ready to face the Feminit enemy of mankind...

Here are relevant links on the "night shift and women" thingumybobs....it all arises from a "compensation scheme for women in Denmark"....apparently it's all to do with something called melatonin. You can bet your size 12s that if women are barred from the higher pay nightwork rotas they will demand upward adjustments to their day shift rates, which would mean, of course, that they woud ne higher than what the dayshift blokes get. Just wait till Harriet Harm-a-Man At Any Price Harperson gets hold of this one in the UK.......

Of course breast cancer is a vile and horrible and truly tragic disease, but so is cancer of the bollocks..it is no less tragic notwithstanding the fact that bollocks cancer affects only men.

Since paying taxes and working for a living go hand in hand, it can be said that men die sooner from paying taxes.

I read about this in the paper today. Apparently the Dutch Government is giving them compensation because of it. It's expected to cause even more cases like it across Europe.

That also minds me about the news that 7 council workers (all female) are suing the council over some daft bonus scheme. They claim the men got bonuses but they did not. If they win it's expected to cause councils all over Scotland £500,000 at least. Some have even said it could be up to £1 Billion quid! All because a bunch of women felt wronged. That's all we bloody need. Made me so angry reading it so it did.
