A happy belated Thanksgiving to my US friends who celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday. I have for you an interesting story. It is the story of how not cooking a turkey leads to feminist accusations made by one blogger to another blogger.
A blogger joined the Blogger Talk Blogger Forum and introduced himself. There was a small discussion on a link being added and things escalated when it was discovered that Rose the administrator stated that she had Thanksgiving in October and did not cook the turkey, but instead her husband Shawn did.
That’s when blogger SciFiAuthor stated that Bloggertalk.net was a feminist website and the administrator was abusing him. The entire post can be read at “Greetings Fellow Bloggers – I hope Rose cooked the Turkey.” Of course I edited the title.
Wow, this is the first time that my not cooking has scared someone away. I guess he likes burnt turkey? What goes best with burnt turkey any way?
I’m cooking a turkey and you are all invited.

That guy was a flipping moron! But again, I like your trick and am going to try that on a certain ex of mine! hehe

This is so bizarre, but has been one of the funnies things I have ever encountered online so far. I am glad for your good attitude about it. I would have been really upset and taken it way too personally. I I wonder how many people I have “abused” by my honest admission that I, too do not like to cook!
Thanks for the giggle Rose.

Shocked and amazed at this character, if not this it would have been something else better to be rid of this nut

Oh Rose, some people’s lives are so small and narrow that it does not take much to upset them. It gives them something to do and makes them feel important. You are too busy for silly games like that.

OMG! I’m a Canadian too and my father cooked a lasagna for Thanksgiving dinner. Thank goodness I didn’t post that on my blog! If there’s anything worse than a woman not cooking a turkey it’s got to be a woman not cooking a lasagna, rofl.
That’s the craziest comment I’ve seen in a long while, maybe he was offended by the winking happy face
You know how sinister looking happy faces can be….:mrgreen:
In all seriousness, I just hope you didn’t let that whacked out comment get to you at all, it’s sad but it seems as though it’s part of blogging life.
Hope you’re having a good weekend:) Hugs!

I guess my response to the guy would be “Good riddance!” He certainly went off on an odd tangent for an extremely innocent comment.
I wonder what he would think about my daughter who is the breadwinner and her boyfriend who stays home and takes care of the house (role reversal).

Well this guy sounds like he has his head shoved up his rear.
