I haven't derided it at all, i said it was full of specialist language that isn't readily understandable outside the field - jargon. I'm actually familiar with some of it, enough to recognise it, and i still found the paper very hard going.

I tried to read this but it's an academic paper full of jargon that's not especially sociological - interpellation, the Symbolique, feminist masquerade, the phallic - it's not an accessible paper at all. What is it you like about it particularly?

...whole horrendous trans "debate". The use of the word "transphobia" to rule out any criticism of a political position such as gender critical feminism as motivated only by "hate" has no analogue anywhere else and this is why I am so baffled and confused by this issue. To return to the...

Did you like Hinterland Threshers_Flail ? It was one of my favourite books of the year.

Right. But (a) I never said that feminism (and cultural studies, for that matter) are sociology; and (b) I never said that Phallic or the Symbolique are sociological terms. I did say that McRobbie introduces “the phallic girl”, which is not the same term as “Phallic”. But I shouldn’t have...

Feminism - where are the threads?

It could have been more of a representation of "feminism". Instead it is a rather "Nazi era-like" fitness fanatic female whose boobs are never going to sag let alone her belly. Women live beyond 35 you know. Their bodies change for all sorts of reasons. The insistance on having to look like...

...like a female Oscar award.....for the best feminist..... Fucks sake the teeny woman isn't even in proportion to thw blob underneath. Give me the blob any day over the teeny Oscarette...in silver. Not even gold..so no first place for poor old feminism. Second place ...again. Yep. Total shite.

kabbes I appreciate that. (I’m on a long day today but will reply when I can).

Maybe their politics were a bit shit in the first place then. And this subject is showing up the limitations of some of their feminism. Someone is gonna vote for someone who definitely isn’t a rapist because they believe in women’s rights? Hmmm....

I think this might be the sixth thread now running regarding feminism. I cannot say enough times how thrilled and honoured I am to find a place where women are engaging in topics that concern them. Let's devote a thread to the sisterhood and what feminism has done and continues to shape and...

Little Women. Pretty good. Made me feel ashamed for not enjoying the books when they were pressed on me as a child. I liked the feminism.

To be fair I don't remember DLR being one of the big pitchfork wielders when GC feminism was being denounced as social fascism or whatever genderists want it to be but he has been patronising and sneering for the past week or two at Scottish women's campaign to oppose the GRA in Scotland so it's...

That’s amazing. The ability of capitalism to repackage feminism never ceases to astound

Thanks...been planning to watch it since it's been on Mubi

...that gender is a real thing and there are eg. male and female brains? Whereas I don’t think this is at all likely to happen, I don’t think feminism would collapse if it did. Structural/social theories can survive biological nuance.] Transgender people become transgender activists who then...

I've just been doing some basic training about different learning styles and this is a great illustration - I can't stand YouTube videos and always want written text whereas it sounds like you are the opposite.
