Meghan Markle on Women's Day Panel: "I feel the Embryonic kicking of Feminism"
TIME ^ | Mar 8, 2019 | Ashley Hoffman

“It’s funny, I’ve actually been joking the last few weeks. I had seen this documentary on Netflix about feminism, and one of the things they said during pregnancy was ‘I feel the embryonic kicking of feminism.’ I loved that, so boy or girl, whatever it is, we hope that that’s the case with our little bump,” the Duchess of Sussex said Friday at an International Women’s Day event. Her comment was in response to a question onstage when asked “how that bump” was treating her.

The crowd responded with warm choruses of laughter.

Markle joined a panel of high-profile female thought leaders and activists like Annie Lennox, founder of The Circle; and Adwoa Aboah, a model and founder of Gurls Talk; to discuss a range of issues facing women today.

The 2018 documentary Markle referenced was Feminists: What Were They Thinking? Starring Laurie Anderson, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, the film revisits the influential 1977 photography book Emergence by Cynthia MacAdams.

I guess we all know people like that. Years ago, the comedian Damon Wayans had a prison character who spouted extremely large words he barely knew the meaning of. It was hilarious.

What kind of Feminism?
Pro-women or anti-men, anti-fetus, LGBT* and every other left wing cause, even when it doesn't benefit women in any way?

Harry’s dna test might not make him a prince. No royal blood for the bump?

Kinda like AOC
“ the girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party”
SNL nailed her

Oh Yoko Markle is at it again. I guess Harry Lennon was home washing her delicates in the sink for her.

I wish England would grow up and put all of these obnoxious relics to work cleaning bathrooms somewhere.

Meghan should have married Oswald Bates ("... from the Latin word, "jalapeno"). A match made in clichéd gibberish heaven!

I think the obnoxious relics will be living outside England in the future. The Muzzies will be living in their palaces.

Thank you, Cecily!

Why the gifted Damon Wayons didn’t become the star that Jim Carrey became, is beyond me. What a funny guy!

Sounds like she is keeping her options open...........”bump”, “embryonic”, feminism. Just can’t do the “it’s a baby” thing.

IN trying to figure what they were yelling about on this International Women’s Day, I found an interesting WIKI.

Comparing her to Fergie is an insult to Fergie, IMHO.

If I had to choose one of the two of them to spend an hour locked in a room with, I’d pick Fergie. I suspect a lot of the royal family would agree with me.

The two biggest problems for women:

1. Their own brains

2. Listening to other women.

She’s a feminist like Hillary is a feminist. She hitched her wagon to the guy who could take her places. Harry is a total fool.

At least Hillary stuck with one that brung her (sort of). This Becky Sharp-wannabe is on her second helpful husband(Trevor the Hollyweird producer was the first). No telling how many men she used or gave favors to who she didn’t marry.

Who will follow Harry in MeAgain’s grasping, climbing life?

Thanks for the PING!

I've now read through this whole thread and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the airy persiflage ( a word I've known and used since I was 3...thanks to dear Wm. S. Gilbert and no Thesaurus needed at all..."persiflage" is in a trio in THE MIKADO, for those who are unfamiliar with this word. ) and the gifs.

And this stupid murmmering, from Sparkles, after the idiotic, super PC, damned snowflake speech she wrote for Dimbulb Harry, the other night?

LOL...they truly are the POWER COUPLE OF STUPID!
