Was going to make a joke about loads of stinky kebabs, but will instead take the high ground.

How dare you criticise these women, you misogynist, sootyj?! Don't you realise it's their right to take up all the seats, drop crumbs and litter everywhere and force other passengers to smell their horrible food?

They're the victims in this, the selfish, greedy, face stuffing bints with no consideration for others. They're all victims.

I don't care what the protest off the bloody tubes and that includes school groups meeting there

F**k off the lot of you

There was a much funnier FB page where people posted pics of the guys (taken from their public FB pages) who have posted pics of women eating on the original page.

Okay I explained that badly, but it was quite amusing.

I'm now going to put up pictures of the girls who put up pictures of the guys who put up pictures of the girls eating on Facebook.

Just think, it was only 14,000 people watching women eating on the Tube, but thanks to all this publicity, it must have reached the hundreds of thousands by now.

I wonder what starving Ethiopians make of our victimised women?

Ethiopians? You are so '80s.

Though it is weird when you think about the whole thing. If it was called 'Look at these disgusting pigs eating on public transport' and featured both men and women, then there would have been none of this feminist led social activism.

But because it's women only, it became a political issue. Even worse, it's become a charter for bad manners and selfishness. Personally, I'd like to see a ban on all people eating food on public transport and the only way I'd change my mind is if they let me smoke to cover up the smell.

I don't see the "f" word anywhere in that article. It seems the protest will involve both men and women.

'The event organisers, Goldsmiths students Lucy Brisbane Mckay and Alexis Calvas, both 21, hope to highlight their opposition to the 'stranger-shaming' online forum.'

Hence, feminist led. Unless you want to tell these two female Goldsmith's students that they aren't feminists.

I have no idea if they are feminists or not. They are female. They may or may not consider themselves feminist.

Personally, I do think there is a gender issue at play here. But that is just my view.

The protest, as you quoted, is about bullying, or "stranger-shaming" in a forum. Nothing to do with feminism/gender stereotypes.

Yeah, burn the witches!

Ban taking photos on the tube, ban eating on the tube, ban talking on the tube, ban reading large papers, farting, nose picking, screaming babies, kids scooters, politics, being racist, standing in doorways, putting bags on seats, generally all behaviour that is arseholed, selfish or gross.
And being smelly.
Eating maloderous food, farting or failing to shower will be punished by beheading via a guillotine with a giant oyster card for a blade.
And if you're eating on the tube know this ladies, some weirdo is photographing you and abusing themselves over said photos.
Possibly in the gents at the next station.
Enjoy that falafel.

It's all about gender. If it was pictures of men eating food on the Tube, no one would give a flying monkey, but because it's women, who are naturally the 'victims' in all and everything, then action must be taken.

Don't make me take away your feminist card.

Neither do they, but they still have to proclaim themselves feminist or be cast out by other women.
