There’s definitely a school of thought within feminism / survivor narratives of white knighting of this kind but I could point to communities where the school of thought is absolutely about retribution for things like crimes against women/children. And it isn’t a male only phenomenon. Some...

That's on my to-read list too.

Coincidence, they just a couple of minutes ago tweeted this. It’s a little thread. It does end up with a very feeble point imo though, on something which I think deserves better as it’s where (I think) a lot of the trouble has come from, by saying that GCs might disagree but everybody has a...

Wouldn't really say The Silver Sword is YA -- we read it in primary school. Would really like to re-read it as an adult I think.

I thought we had quite a good discussion on the legal ins and outs of the case as it relates to matters of the limits of free speech in the work place. I thought it was a fair idea for a thread and actually turned out to be quite enlightening regarding equalities law. Sorry if there wasn't...

I think so, yes, or at least that's the first thing I found when I gave in and googled as well. "I love Bernie, really I do, but sir: beauty work is not beneath you. Not feeling it? Fucking show a little more leg for one minute, like many women do."

...radfems did at least exist in conversation with (even if those conversations were often quite heated arguments!) socialist and Marxist feminisms that were in turn tied to the mass struggles of the day. Idk, I just find it a bit sad and misguided how you sometimes see people arguing as though...

I think that's fair enough to be honest. My impression of that vid was it's about men/masculinity anyway so it makes sense to me the conversation would also focus/lead that way.

indeed. like some of the shite in the daily mail (etc) written by women (who are being paid by men) to tell other women to hate themselves / other women / women who argue for feminism. there's one or two articles like that circulating today and i'm not going to pollute urban with them...

...Kevbad the Bad has said; if I can simply identify into womanhood, who are you or anyone to tell me that I'm a "man telling women how to do feminism"? Or maybe - like Eddie Izzard - I have a girl mode and a boy mode and I flip between them and some of my posts are by a woman, some by a man...

Came down with a stinker of a cold suddenly and this is a pain to do on a mobile, so only gone ad far as I actually got into the video and not in as much depth as I could. I might carry on tomorrow. This I absolutely agree with. The word has shifted but people are still taking the same...

...either. McRobbie is one of the most high-profile feminist writers at the very top of the academic tree. Look at her Wikipedia page, ffs! Angela McRobbie - Wikipedia — and the paper you are deriding is from The Aftermath of Feminism, which is mentioned in the introduction of that page about...

Thank you for understanding what I was saying!

This line of argument gets no-one anywhere. When the area of disagreement is fundamentally about sex and gender, and a commonly used slogan is 'trans women are women', and some would say that one can self-id as either gender, or none, or both, or whatever, then your claim to be a woman proves...

Pre-pubescent children are being denied the option to NOT have puberty blockers? Is that really true? Is this from the Abigail Shrier book? This is why I don't think a lot of this has nothing to do with feminism. It's just fear mongering.

...other books, but perhaps it would be good anyway? I dunno, if you think you might be open to reading a memoir about 1970s socialist feminism then you'd probably like this. A nicely optimistic ending, considering that 1979 wasn't exactly the start of a glorious historical moment. Probably...
