Good grief. Now clapping is sexist.

Epic mocking in progress of feminist group’s call to replace clapping with ‘jazz hands’ to prevent ‘anxiety’

It all started with this...

NUS Women's Campaign @nuswomcam
Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping, as it's triggering anxiety. Please be mindful!

RB @RBPundit
If people clapping... literally clapping... "triggers" your anxiety, you are in for a lifetime of hurt.

Kemberlee Kaye @KemberleeKaye
Our foremothers chained themselves to fences. I’m sure they’d be thrilled you can’t handle clapping.

Ashe Schow @AsheSchow
@RBPundit @nuswomcam I could be wrong, but even in the delicate days of corsets women could handle clapping

some things just need to be mocked. I'm at the link looking at the comments and more women are mocking this than men.

OK, so whats the score? No manspreading. Fartrape. Starerape. Fakerape w/Lena Durham's book. Fake rape with the Rolling Stones article. Being nice to women is sexist. Opening doors for women is sexist.

did I miss anything?

2. Man's very existence is sexist.

...it causes a "green rape culture", don't 'cha know.

4. So if I hold open a door with my foot and do jazz hands, does it make it better?

Da Mannn (1,832 posts)   Wed Mar 25, 2015, 08:46 AM

15. You are so doomed!
 
jazz hands cannot negate holding open a door and being nice at the same time.

5. Will this silly no clapping rule prevent you from attending next years feminist conference?
 
I don't think I'll be attending either. Oh wait, I wasn't going to either way.

As silly as this sounds to most people, I say let 'em run with it. Eventually the more extreme elements will be out there all by themselves. I'll take issue with this when they try to prevent clapping outside of their "safe-zones"

9. How dare you, sir...
 
Fartrape is real. Have you never been stuck in the back of a troop carrier with a half dozen or so of dudes all gassed up on MRE peanut butter & chilimac?

My eyes water just thinking about thise days....

18. So basically
 
the "appropriate" way to show appreciation is to mimic "Hands up, don't shoot"?

This is beyond ****ed up. More idiotic people who can't handle existing in the real world. Oh well, their anxiety makes for ripe material for my ridicule and mockery.

Da Mannn (1,832 posts)    Wed Mar 25, 2015, 08:56 AM

19. Bingo. Some things just need to be mocked,

20. I'm not even sure it's possible to mock this to the extent ...
 
that it deserves. Can those fools possibly believe that they are helping to advance their cause?

21. That gave me a chuckle.
 
If they think applause triggers anxiety, I can't imagine the goofiness that makes up the entire program.

23. Female Logic LOL

Actually, no; don't be insulting women here.

Feminist, not female, logic.

[FiddyBeowulf]

It is kind of discriminatory against the blind, using "jazz hands" instead of clapping.   

[Eupher]

Damn, I need to stop being so productive and learn up on WTF "jazz hands" are.

I did. I stopped being productive for 47 seconds, did a Google, and now know what "jazz hands" are.

Going back to being productive now...

Thanks gang!   
Hi 5 to everyone on this thread!

I'm just surprised none of the KKKlams showed up to teach us what for.
I just checked, the mocking continues unabated.

[obumazombie]

I would face palm, but don't want to be accused of face palm rape.

[Big Dog]

I would face palm, but don't want to be accused of face palm rape.

Which is the victim, the face or the palm?

[Mr Mannn]

Which is the victim, the face or the palm?

violation one: Face palm rape.
violation two: A face palm is a one handed clap. You are so in trouble right now.

[DumbAss Tanker]

OK, so whats the score? No manspreading. Fartrape. Starerape. Fakerape w/Lena Durham's book. Fake rape with the Rolling Stones article. Being nice to women is sexist. Opening doors for women is sexist.

Well, yes, you left out "All PIV sex is rape."

36. Where do you find this stuff?

Has anyone ever met anyone who thinks like this? I seriously doubt it.

Just look in feminist circles, my dear. I found plenty of great quotes right on your own HOF board.
You are right, honey. That IS crazy. Man-hating, lesbo, feminazis are not sane, and say crap like this all the time.

Clap for us, Alex. Clap loud and long.

Clap, clap, clap.

Now make us some sammiches.

You know, she's not unintelligent; surely sooner or later she's going to realize how silly she and the other Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse--the seabeyond bitch, the redqueen primitive, and the Bostonian beanie--look to the real world, because of their overwrought femmie hysterics.

It is a fine bit of irony that their reaction to any perceived anti-feminazism is hysterical shrieking, hyperdrama, and nagging, is it not?

I always thought that a spoonful of Lydia Pinkham's Special Vegetable Compound for Female Complaints--the pre-FDA formula of 1906, with some pretty powerful stuff in it--would do wonders for their femmie hysterics.

[landofconfusion80]

I am happy to announce, for the first time ever on this board.....

Coach's latest business venture!!! To cure the ails and temperaments of all feminists, far and wide!! (emphasis on the wide)

[obumazombie]

For lib females (which is all of them),
Hysterical is the root word for hysterectomy.

[Mr Mannn]

Bainsbane. like many girls simply cannot shut up. She cannot let this go.

The denial.

38. Some guys make this shit up

It isn't real. Note the only source is twitter, and a single tweet at that. You have no idea who actually sent it, if the person is even a woman or someone haven't a laugh. It hardly constitutes a movement.

The b!tch slap

42. Feminist boards, sites, publications, Twitter, etc.

You would think the girls would mock their own when silly things are said. But they don't.

Iansa (1,336 posts)
43. Let's be real for a second. You get them on MRA sites.

I thought this story was totally made up, but someone linked to a BBC report about it.
The English always have been wack jobs, but this takes the cake.

Da Mannn (1,839 posts)
44. Nope. I have never been to an MRA site.

I am 56. Old school. MRAs are a recent development.
I don't need them to mock silly feminist things. Lets face it. Plenty silliness gets published on your own HOF board.
HOF gals at DU were the ones who posted just being nice to a gal was sexist.
Remember the raging argument at DU where merely opening a door was sexist?

When radical feminists turn normal human interaction into sexist oppression, people everywhere will end up laughing at you.
