Do you think it compromises my feminist views if I get a man to remove a large spider from under my bed?

Question

EDIT Uchicha, you've got the wrong end of the stick mate..

Answer 1

Would you have a problem with it being a woman (other then you) who removes the spider ?

If not, then it is not sexist.

Answer 2

I would like to say Noooo!!

but i am perhaps a little biased as i am petrified of spiders!!

To save face though, you could try and find a girly who isnt scared of spiders...one that could be on call all the time LOL!!

Me, personally, well my hubby knows that a "certain shriek" is a "spider shriek" and he will usually come and sort it for me...not nearly as quick as i would like though sometimes!!! lets the little leggy nasties get away!!!

grrr, theni am unable to sleep untill i know exactly where it is!!

Stooooopid really, tiny little animal and im petrified,, great big barking dog, or huge shire horses, and im not even remotely bothered, the wonders of the human mind!

PS you could get a "spider catcher" its a litlle gizmo thats like a tube that sucks him up so you can put him outside, depends how close your phobia well let you get to the little chappie...as the tube's about 40cm long...

Heres some place you can get one / have a look at one

personally, im not sure about the bristles one...looks like he could get out!! and god forbid wander up your arm!!! the tube one from lakelands looks a much safer bet..

Good Luck!!

Answer 3

No. What does a person's s*x have anything to do with removing a spider?

I think you should re-evaluate your ideas of what feminism  actually is. What sort of feminist views do you hold if you are seriously asking this question?

Answer 4

Um no it doesn't.  Just because you are afraid of spiders, does not mean you compromise your feminist views by having a man remove it.

Answer 5

If you go looking for someone to do the job and the first person who can do it is a man.. then no!

Answer 6

haha, noooo.

id do the same.

Answer 7

I'm the same way.  I believe that women are equal in every way until there's a draft for military service or something around the house needs fixing.

Answer 8

Nope! But I'll bet he'd better look out for the top of the bed! I'm sure a compromise of your feminist views wouldn't be of a concern unless you desire a dominant position!

Answer 9

hahaha I love extreme feminists..

Answer 10

Yes, spray some formula 409 on it.

Answer 11

have you seen the size of that fing no way

Answer 12

In a word, yes.

Answer 13

I will answer your question with a question of my own.   When did being scared of Spiders become so political?

Answer 14

LOL --

Feminism has nothing to do with that nasty spider.

Answer 15

No, not at all.

Anyone can have a fear of spiders, blokes included.

It certainly isn't a feminist thing.

Incidentally, if you can't get a man to get rid of the spider, a broom comes in handy.

Answer 16

h**l yes it does, you poor weak little girl. Go get the strong man to protect you!

Your expecting a man to jump into harms way so you don't have to be put in jeopardy, your not a feminist your a convenient-ist!

Women who only want the perks but are unwilling to do the heavy lifting are not feminist.  Imagine a pioneer woman acting like a helpless little child, we would never have made it to California if our history was full of today's feminists!

Its the paper feminist that put our safety in jeopardy by demanding that women be firefighters and police and military and to accommodate them we must lower our standards in order to allow them to compete with men. So much for mantra "anything a man can do a woman can do better". That's total Bull Sh*t and its time we all get off the PC bandwagon and use our brains.

Men and women are built different. Men can do many things better then women and women can likewise do many things better then men!

I'm not going to waste time itemizing for you, suffice to say Feminist values are not based on logic rather they are emotional and women pretty much cornered the emotional market.

Answer 17

I asked a bloke to remove a spiders leg from his teeth once is that being a weak woman too?

Answer 18

no you don't compromise your feminist views,...and neither do I by telling you to suck it up and get rid of it yourself! LOL.

Answer 19

Yes. Let me get it for you ;)

Answer 20

no but you have to remember some men are just as frightened of spiders too lol

Answer 21

What are they going to do Under the BED???
