BUT WHAT DO WOMEN
REALLY<\/em> NEED?<\/p>\n
Age old question, really, this one, and one where “want” and
“need” are often made unhelpfully interchangable, just to make
it EVEN SIMPLER.<\/p>\n
Welcome back to Feminist TwitBomb, Deluxe Edition, in which we take a
sexist Twitter<\/a>
hashtag<\/a>
and try and make it slightly less soul-harrowingly bleak by exploring its
inherent absurdity, usually with caps lock, bad puns, and the sudden
appearance of wildlife. Previously on this channel: how #TipsForLadies<\/strong> was skewered<\/a>.<\/p>\n
PROBLEMATIC, as Tumblr<\/a>
might say.<\/p>\n
It’s all fine, though, guys, because
TWITTER TO THE RESCUE. Eat your heart out,
Sigmund, Xtina and Geoff, for the question
will now be answered.<\/p>\n
An initial peek at the feed for this
trending topic was a

“Curves and long
hair”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FALLEN.<\/p>\n
“a guy who will protect
her like she’s his
daughter, love her like
she’s his wife, and
respect her like she’s
his
mother.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Apart from the fact that many
of us do not fancy these
things at all (or men), this
is a worryingly ambitious
MAIDEN-MOTHER-CRONE
SUPERCONFLATION, and I am
not<\/em> paying his
therapy bill when shit gets
too confusing.<\/p>\n
“oven
mittens”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
… hoo, boy, watch
out, sisterhood. This
dude’s a
serious<\/em>
wordsmith.<\/p>\n
“to meet One
Direction”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ah, shit. *throws
up hands*
Busted.
<\/em><\/p>\n
You get the
picture there,
anyway: high
time, we
decided, for a
cheering
TwitBomb
session.<\/p>\n
