Is The Light Bulb And Socket Oppressive To Females?
The socket, symbolic of the vagina, takes and slavishly supports the light bulb and yet the electricity and attention go to the light bulb. My wife informs me this is gender oppressive. Is it? Could the lightbulb and it's fixture be a subconscious expression of male gender bias? and could it be designed differently?

Which is the most oppressive, the screw type or the bayonet type?

Doods! Stop sucking up to the A+ers. It won't work. Your pathetically submissive fawning will curry no favour with them. They'll immediately notice that the above comments come exclusively from a cabal of privileged males trying to deceive wimmins that they are really not part of male oppression of the better sex' and therefore insincere and not to be trusted.
Anyway, to adapt someone else's quip, the war between bulb and socket is a chimera. There's just too much fraternisation going on between the sides. It's OK to keep on screwing and bayoneting.

How many Sælirs does it take to change a light bulb?
None! She beats up men until they agree to change it for her!

Cuz this thread needs something more freudian.
