    Are you leaving Twitter?

    ...BUT THEY CAN'T BE PARODIES OF ME!' OTOH I am sure this is much less funny for many LGBTQ+ tweeters, people of colour, women who talk about feminism etc on there, many of whom I expect are walking as they can now expect even less protection from bigoted wankers. Someone was commenting that...

    Never mind the virus here's the 2022 reading challenge thread

    I haven’t and keep meaning to check those out :) I on a bit of a roll with early 70s Hackney feminism myself at the moment so perhaps it’s time.

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    Dylans is a write-off, but worryingly some are actually mistaking his bigotry under the cover of feminism for genuine feminism. Because God knows all the men I've trusted over the years are prone to ranting about saving THEIR DAUGHTERS from dick waving Shirley's. And it was really heartwarming...

    Solidarity

    ...disadvantage, are largely isolated, unionised and struggling to make ends meet to have much strength left over to fight. Seems both feminism movement and the left are in tatters, split into tiny self interest groups against themselves and each other. Where to start with ideas of practical...

    Feminism - where are the threads?

    How does this skew with your loathsome comments on the Dune thread?

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    That is true. Trans exclusionary radical feminism seems to involve a disproportionate amount of 'gender critical' men yelling aggressively at women about penises tho.

    Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

    Because the term ”girlboss” is used as a comment on the neoliberal appropriation of feminism in order to control and redirect the movement’s successes towards the perfectibility of the self, and thus set women into competition with each other instead of standing together. That’s how that...

    Men - do you read books written by female authors?

    Love Gate to Women’s Country wtfftw 😍 The ideas are very second wave feminism and a bit dated/simplistic now but I still love it! Have you read Beauty by the same author? The only books I’ve recently read by men have been book group books or re-reading Douglas Adams/the biography of Douglas...

    Why are more young men than older seeing feminism as a bad thing?

    There's this strong theme of rose-tinted mawkishness about the past with much Right-Wing politics that basically says 'Equality screwed everything up, so the way to make the world as good as it was [NB: it wasn't good] is to make the societal context the same as it used to be'. And in some ways...

    Barbie vs Oppenheimer

    :thumbs: Those are good things though, surely? Yet here you seem to use it as a criticism (and Ben Shapiro certainly was): Probably best to stick to words you know the meaning of really: This might make interesting listening though BBC Sounds - Woke: The Journey of a Word - Available Episodes

    YouTube finds

    ...and current content go to: I keep recommending leftist youtuber FD Signifier. Very US based on (US) black issues and manosphere stuff and feminism but also hip hop, anime and other pop culture things. This one in particular is a bit of tour de force Dr Justin Sledge of Esoterica offers a...

    Ian Botham trade Envoy to Australia?

    Cricketers all have nicknames given to them by their team-mates. Also Cricket is steeped in feminism.

    RIP Sarah Everard, who went missing from Brixton in March 2021

    Really coming onto a thread about a woman kidnapped raped and murdered by a serving policeman and telling women they've done feminism wrong? Really?

    Feminism and violence again women

    You're not missing anything. It's just going down the most well traveled path... I couldn't believe those stats from the UK lockdown in the OP! "There were at least 16 murders of women by men in the first three weeks of lockdown" wtaf!

    BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

    No idea why you're babbling on about now, neither do I care, but I've taken all the personal abuse I'm going to take from you, so we're now on mutual ignore. You'll have to shout your big man insults to the sky now. Fuck off and goodnight.

    Transphobes gunning hard for 'paedophilia' angle all of a sudden

    ...Shulamith Firestone and Kate Millet. Germaine Greer has personally boasted of being a pedarist. There's far more grounds to attack radical feminism for being rooted in paedophile apologism than there is queer theory. Of course those attacks wouldn't be any fairer then the attacks on...

    BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

    I think it started around the time of that Spice Girls / 'Girl Power' phase. Was never meant to be feminism as such, just daytime telly.

    Russell Brand: rape and sexual abuse allegations, grifting and general dodginess - discussion

    That was an incredibly honest, brave post and you deserve kudos for realising the danger and getting out before it was too late.

    Why are more young men than older seeing feminism as a bad thing?

    ...- the man pays on the first date - is back to being infused with pathetic notions of entitlement to a woman’s body. I don’t really give feminism a lot of thought to be honest, I did when younger and from my mum, so I have rough ideas and, but if they actually gave feminist thinking and...
