Feminist works I've read and recommend (a thread): Gender Hurts by Sheila Jeffreys; Gyn/Ecology by Mary Daly; Woman Hating, Pornography Men Possessing Women, Intercourse, Right Wing Women & Scapegoat by Andrea Dworkin; Testosterone Rex, A Mind of Its Own & Delusions of Gender 1/2

not to mention poor women always worked. I hate the myth that there was ever an era where women didnβt work. they Didnβt get Paid. they worked.
Do "nonbinary" women not consider the harm done to all women by declaring yourself special & immune to the "women" rules? Do they not realize that ALL women are non binary & should be immune to the "women" rules?
I said to someone last month "bottom surgery is a lie." Our ability to pee is the Holy Grail of what it means go be human if you talk to enough older people. Ruining people's ability to pee well & fully causes a lifetime of problems.
If youβre gonna have a purity test for feminism Iβm gonna have a purity test for feminism too. mine is not calling other women nazis or telling them they are responsible for the actions of men.

My local coffee shop was warned off me by one of their new employees. Last time I saw the owner (a butch lesbian I've known for over a decade, whose one of the only locals I saw at my Gram's funeral) she gave me a Giant Hug & made sure to come over & say hello. Didn't work.

This happened at my sonβs school. 3 girls beat up another girl. The school did nothing about it. The girl who was filmed being beaten killed herself because she could not stop the video from being shared. I wouldnβt share these videos. But I do think schools are a violent place.

I used a womens gym from age 12 to 35. Luckily I had to leave during the pandemic because they don't believe it's happening & wear masks or get vaxed, So gyms were out anyway. but basically all of this leads to a world where women stay home out of safety concerns. I hate this.

Of Course he formed his idea of what women are & Feminist women are from Sex In the City!!!!! It was an HBO show that young men loved to whack it to because they showed lots of boobs & women having sex. Jfc this makes so much sense.

The amount of people Iβve seen who donβt have proper dental care but who have had doctors do this to them. maybe proper dental care would make them feel more at home in their own bodies.

He definitely cut into his real hair. Why not just undo the braid? I donβt get it. Girls know how to Undo Braids. The irony of the song choice does make it funny.
@JamieLRutter
All those different categories are still male or female. How does this in any way explain men who are fully XY identifying as fully XX? These people arenβt identifying with their chromosomal make up & they are still either man or woman.
Sometimes women die because they are shamed for needing medical interventions during birth because birth must be βnaturalβ aka safe since every human alive is born that way. Many women used to die in childbirth. We would be unwise to forget the reality of birth.
If you are using a slur towards women who believe women exist as a sex class you are Not A Feminist or Women's Organization. Call yourself the Trans March. It's much more accurate. In D.C. a gay man & a trans identified man spoke instead of women in front of the Supreme Court.
@beringia2000
@NoRussianBottt
Exactly. It's saying, I am better than women who "identify" as women. Reinforces the binary & refuses to acknowledge there are women who don't Identify as women but who are just women because that is what we are.

This man doesn't respect women. You don't turn into a "woman lover" because you realize you're gay. I know plenty of gay men who hated women, especially lesbians. This guy still doesn't Like women he just found out he Loves men. It's different.
You think sympathy entails experimenting on children with dangerous pharmaceuticals & then possibly cutting parts of their body off before they are 18 years old like Jazz Jennings? That is not deep sympathy to believe a child must change themself to make society comfortable.
Is it truly conceivable that people who oppose "gender affirming care" for minors look at a photo like this and actually hold feelings of hatred towards this child?
How could anyone possibly think that I feel anything other than deep sympathy for a child in this situation?

Itβs the modern version of a DDS attack. Only instead of the weirdo kids who spend too much time online attacking major corporations & the government like they did back when I was a kid, they instead attack anyone who reminds them of their mom. We lost sight of the goals.

Look at this man, trying to act like women didnβt work, and do labor other than rearing their children, and cleaning up their own houses for millennia.
How can "activists" who are against corporate profits of supposedly every kind support the for-profit medical industry turning children's pain & mental struggles into dollars through drugs & surgery? It's such a dramatic capture of the people who should have been against this.

He is doing this to young women because a group of older women would know they were being watched & stalked by a creepy man.
Why do GCs Identify with TERF so much if they are not at all radical feminist in philosophy? Is it the trans exclusionary part they like? Itβs certainly not the radical feminist part.

This tweet only shows they have not actually read any radical feminism. Radical feminists usually have trans identified people as friends & we also believe in supporting women who were abused even if they are not our friend. So wrong on both counts.
@MsVictoriaVixen
Heavily filtered, heading makeuped. Similar physique. I donβt honestly know what is supposed to be different about these photos. Different ideas of how to βperform femininityβ as opposed to just being a woman.
I ask a simple question- who is more important to the Womensβ Liberation movement: me or my ex-husband? Which of us do you chose? Because you canβt have both. The inclusion of transsexual βalliesβ in feminism, excludes trans widows.

My son was raised just a few short years before this trend & he had to be good & help & talk to people at the store & he would get a $1 matchbox car at the end as a reward. His collection was amazing. He still likes cars as someone who got his driverβs license this year. π
@KCMiller1225
Thank you for sharing. I was as well & I spent my whole adolescence/teens waiting to be diagnosed with something "really wrong with me". Turns out I just had the guilt & self loathing from incest & not any of the popular mental illnesses of my era. This could have easily been me.
@sarahstuartxx
A friend's husband is about to do this publicly. They have two boys who are pre school aged. She confessed to me but asked me not to tell anyone yet, but soon he'll be doing this on social media if he isn't already doing it under a pseudonym. Deadly serious. Not satire.
Men kill & rape men at a higher rate than women. So because men enact male violence on men more, we should let them be near women in vulnerable spaces?

Every openly declared bisexual women I know only has serious relationships with men & literally looks for women as a 3rd or as the woman in the first clip did, because they are excited to have something arousing to tell their man partner. They donβt seem to want women in general.

We do have data. Trans women inmates are sex offenders at a much higher rate than the general population of men in prison. We already have data on this but it will become warped as time goes on as more male perpetrators of violence are recorded as woman or female.

It is really hard to sue because there is no "standard of care" for trans surgeries. They are all experimental & the patient usually signs consent forms. So lawyers don't wanna touch it. There's a couple orgs working on this now though someone tagged in another thread.

It says they will support students in protesting a woman. Protesting because a woman has the audacity to say women exist. Which by the way isn't Hateful towards trans or non binary people, in fact it helps the female ones to know they exist.

My friends who are non-binary consider themselves feminist. Certianly not radical but it blows my mind. How can you think identifying out of being a woman helps other women as a class? It's like capitalism narcissistic feminism. Feminism that says women should be like men.

There is an entire genre of pornography about massage therapy. It's the reason I wouldn't go near a male massage therapist if you paid me all the $$ in the world. A male massage therapist at a chain massage place near where I work was arrested for sexually assaulting a client.
@KnownHeretic
That is the Only thing that will end this. Parents suing the schools when their children die. The parents who lost their daughter to suicide after she was beaten & filmed with no repercussions for the attackers in my local school should hold the school financially accountable.
