Pop quiz bronies: What is the Equestrian equivalent to radical feminism?
Thursday, 24-Jul-14 15:04:39 UTC from web-
@voxxxrebel Good! Ten points to Gryffindor!
-
@pony Ponies who try stopping the prostitution of cows in dairy factories and stop the selling of any kind of milk and persuade everypony that drinking milk is bad.
-
@broniebrown Ten points to Ravenclaw! (or whatever your house is)
-
@pony They don't have one.
-
@pony They don't have one because Equestria is a matriarchal society so feminism is totally pointless.
-
@zeldatra Are you saying that you can't milk a horse ?
-
@thewaifutyphoon AND THIS IS WHY I NEVER BRING YOU TO PUBLIC PLACES.
-
@e It was also on Jackass (2?)
-
@zeldatra I honestly don't remember. It was my least favorite part of the movie
-
@zeldatra also technically you can milk a female horse, just not in the exact same fashion you'd milk a cow.
-
@thewaifutyphoon I just skipped that part.
-
@zeldatra It wasn't great. -1/10
-
@thewaifutyphoon even more reason as to why i don't take you to public places. You try to milk everything.

@zeldatra sorry, I'm curious.
-
@thewaifutyphoon Pretty sure fermented mare's milk was/is a Mongolian beverage.
-
@scribus It is. You just can't hook a milking machine to them the same way you could to a cow.
-
@thewaifutyphoon Yay, I scored points on fake-Jeopardy!
-
@scribus indeed it is; #notetoself need to try it still. Because it's Altaic heritage...

@zeldatra @cinnamonswirl That's why the current bit in my writing has become difficult to justify. Right now, I'm actually going with an Equestrian history that involves a political movement in recent centuries that pushes for the decline of the monarch/diarch (keeping the alicorns as figureheads only) in favor of a system closer to democracy or that of a republic. In more recent decades, in its effort to garner support and stir up the masses, influential figures supporting the movement's cause claim that ponies have been victimized by the current system, propagating that the government imposes its beliefs and laws, biased against non-believers, on citizens through the "combination of church and state." Much like feminism, this kind of movement could lead the nobles or existing lower authorities to scapegoat against already stigmatized, mutually-hated minorities, and it could explain the rise of victimology (things I need for my writing).

@thewaifutyphoon You're thinking of what in Spain they call a "mamporrero". I do have most of the stuff required for the traditional "pilcha" (clothing) lying around.

@pony mareism, maybe
