...Turns out that most of them were cis men with very strong opinions. It's the same ones who turn up on feminist threads and tell us how to do feminism; the trans folk should be allowed to speak, that's how we should learn about this stuff. It's important.

...quite good, and an improvement on the previous one. I notice that medium article, which I presume is yours, says "Their characterisation of Feminism and Tran-rights as two separate entities’ show how much they’ve drank the terf talking points, but hey, They apparently just want to help...
...and always ready with a bad pun and a raised eye brow. It also introduced the first Bond girl which genuinely was Bond's equal as 2nd wave feminism started to make inroads even with the Bond films (there were setbacks)
As someone who consumes a large amount of disreputable vintage...
Yeah thats a fair point, but still you can see the roots of it - sex class oppression, every fuck is a rape etc. Once you've decided sex is the primary basis of oppression then its not far to go to deny trans women are women.

"mother of feminism as represented by a tiny naked female form that isn't actually modelled on her" is certainly the wrong fucking tack to take isn't it?
...and he was one of the most pretentious, arrogant sounding toss pots I've ever come across. His videos are just him ranting about women, feminism and SJW type topics set to a slide show of stock images only he does it in the most smug voice imaginable. He's called sandman, I saw him about 4...
That's a long read, but worth it. This early passage in particular is interesting with reference to his own moral compass:
The article also sets out Giuffre's history, how she sought to put the Epstein past behind her and why she couldn't when five years later they tracked her down to Australia.
...is not a feminist movement but a movement which includes feminists. It is a world away in both ideology and goals from radical second wave feminism. It is essentially a conservative doctrine that instead of calling for radical and revolutionary change accepts male violence as a biological...
As above - it's not the same token. It's a different token altogether.
These stereotypical female physical markers under inspection tend to be admired and appreciated, in however warped and conflicted a way. That is not the context for black face, and has never been, even if you are minded...
...entered this debate because they are worried about women being attacked in toilets but because they have recognised that gender critical feminism contains within it a deeply reactionary seed which is more likely to end up enforcing gender conformity than liberating women.
It's difficult to...
It's fair to say that the feminism of the 1970s (my era) had a very different set of demands (for change) than the feminism my 37 year old daughter and 9 year old grand-daughter encounter. Some aspects (such as parity, respect, opportunity) have been consistent. Whilst I have never fallen into...
Well...its not like many or most women.
It's definitely not the ordinary average woman.
Its idealised. So its all wrong in the sense that it represents feminism.
Yeah, it's interesting (in a depressing kind of way), I think of that stuff from 2019 as being like "the start of bad Nina Power", but going back and looking at that page again, there's this bit (that you quoted actually):
How do you get from that to the "in defence of patriarchy" stuff above...
Oh snap, I was literally just about to say...
As much as I disagree with second-wave radical feminism, it's not the framework I use to explain the world and so on, but I do think a lot of the original radfems were better than the crap that lays claim to their legacy today. Consider Dworkin, for...
To make herself look like a person who is aware of all the counter arguments when feminism is up for discussion. There are a lot of idiots who come in shouting, well that's not my experience, so what you're saying can't be true. Try to forget your experience of whatever you're an authority on &...
I don't have much to say because I am feeling decidedly dim-witted these days but...personally, my introduction to feminism was predicated firmly on reproductive biology. Having children, particularly the long gestation and even longer road to adulthood, totally defined a large portion of my...
I didn’t mention anything relevant to ‘the usual bunfight’ - I simply wanted to know why you had ignored the previous replies pointing out why this particular action was largely meaningless. You are trying to claim it as a MASSIVE win, but it really isn’t. Which is probably why it has barely...
