That’s not necessarily a compliment… Militant had contempt for “trendy” causes such as feminism, gay rights and nuclear disarmament, which were seen as distractions from the group’s historic mission of positioning activists strategically inside Labour and the unions, in preparation for the...

...out but the sheer weight of of masculine blather cloging up pages and pages of threads, the online equivalent of liking the sound of their own voices, to the point of derailing or making threads unreadable. The last few pages of feminism and a world designed for men thread being an example.

for me a major reason to talk about it is because the beliefs manifested by many of the participants in the recent disorder have been so clearly built on sand and received through social media / the media for people spouting them for their own (the influencers / politicians') benefit. gordon...

Feminism and violence again women is wrong.

if only he was arguing that position rather than men have been put out by society evolving

...lively once you find the right people (or should I say the left people). But it needs tags, which I am sure they are working on; I want to find more people talking about race stuff, feminism etc at the moment I've plugged into the leftie and lgbtq+ side and some random stuff but not much else.

My metaphor was intended more narrowly on the 85 rent-capping episode. But happy to be educated if I’m wrong there too. My memory is hazy as I was seven at the time.

One way to find out.

As a white, rural teenager I was a metaller. In hindsight it was a pretty conservative and insular scene in a lot of ways but even now I'd still say something like Sepultura or Godflesh is a lot more out there than the likes of Oasis - and I definitely did see that stuff as the mainstream to...

...his late teens or early twenties with adidas trainers and a bucket hat. Many of them clutching rolled up posters. Turns out Ocean Colour Scene had just played at the Academy. The cynic in me says that if Oasis was a rebellion it was against feminism, and "the new man" and musical...

...proportional system. But let’s not forget the anti-social liberal backlash that has fuelled these protest politics with abortion, trans and feminism all being exploited by parties of the right for electoral purposes. But let’s break this down. What did the Brexit Conservative governments and...

I think there is a definite crisis of masculinity and positive directions to go in but Phil’s blame the lgbt argument lacks nuance and detail. I’d also say “happily married and no trouble 40 years ago” is doing a lot of work considering domestic violence figures

That’s a completely different argument from blaming exfoliating sexual minorities, though. And I don’t think for a moment that all young men are eager to settle down and couple up. Incel ideology is predicated on Spymaster maths.

I know phil is a bit of a driveller but there is a good point in there, young women today (largely thanks to feminism) have a lot more choice on what to do with their lives than their mothers and grandmothers. It's no longer a choice of leave school, get married or leave school and work for a...

Agreed. The film itself was so-so but if there was an Oscar for marketing/PR when they'd absolutely nail that. Millions of people actually paying to watch what is essentially an advert.

I dunno about anyone else, but i have just reported the avatar - hadn’t noticed it until it was pointed out by Brainaddict

...from The Graun this morning: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/03/andrew-tate-symptom-not-problem-why-young-men-turning-against-feminism Not really anything new there, and no real examination of the economic angle. On the opening paragraph; certainly I've known a fair few people...

...Pugh - We Danced All Night 4/60 Katherine Connelly - Sylvia Pankhurst Short comprehensive biography of Sylvia Pankhurst as she moves from feminism to socialism, to anti-fascism and then to anti-colonialism. Genuinely fascinating woman who was well ahead of the curve. Couple of lines by the...
