I'm thinking of starting more threads, these are ones I've wanted to start years ago but couldn't face the hassle at the time - what does anyone think of: feminism - womens bodies, body size, body image feminism - clothing, dress and style

...I bellowed to my neighbours son and granddaughter to come quick and save my sanity. We'd just been talking about snowmen, art, The Statue, feminism, graffiti, pranks, collectiv action, hive minds, and Hambling :hmm: I genuinely thought for a moment that she'd accepted my challenge via the...

Back in 70s early 80s it was. Socialst Feminists of that time did deal with some of these issues as part of feminism. Socialization of childcare was one. Unfortunately Thatcherism / Reaganomics replaced the post war social welfare consensus. So all this went. More individualist liberal...

I've by no means intended to explain feminism but only meant to dip my toe in and make a couple of points I felt worth making. I am sorry if it's come across as mansplaining.

...dimorphism, which leads to (or determines, to a debatable extent) sex-influenced behaviours. I may be wrong but I feel as if a lot of feminism seeks to claim there are no differences. And I’m not sure this has always been to women’s advantage. For example, I’d like to see more emphasis on...

Oh do fuck off What about feminism scares you so much? What about women standing up for their own rights to be human is so terrifying? I hope you are banned

I often read the feminism threads here, I’m often put off by the sneers and aggressive put downs that are sometimes meted out to people, like me, who don’t always say/do the right thing. It is why I so often stay away from these threads. Consequently I’m not improving my understanding of the...

Who said I was trying to say what was allowed?

For fuck's sake lads, it's a thread specifically about feminism and why women aren't talking about feminism on urban. Why not start your own threads about problems men face? No-one is stopping you.

...in public. And on that note I think another element to the Gender Critical movement, which they have taken from some schools of radical feminism but which neatly slots into a conservative or religious position as well is their condemnation of sex work, kink and surrogacy which seems pretty...

So where were we? "Feminism - the radical notion that women are human beings" Marie Shear Funny that

I absolutely believe women have the right to talk about feminism, and for that to include or exclude the trans issue, as they prefer. But, it seemed to me that that was the subject about which you really wanted to talk, but that you thought it'd be better to build a bit of goodwill/credibility...

Can do. But I think it’s all about feminism. Control of women’s bodies, control of women’s behaviour, male violence against women, state violence against women. That’s all stuff that shows feminism has a looooong way to go before we can relax

are you an actual parody? I thought everyone knew rules of feminism, your position is very unfortunate.

You think women should only be allowed to discuss feminism on dedicated feminism threads :confused: as if it's something totally abstract and theoretical and not part of women's actual lives.

I started threads about feminism that political movement that centres females. And I am very proud that I did.

I really nearly said that myself ElizabethofYork but then I wasn’t sure. It was the first thing that came into my mind in answer to the question about feminism. That solidarity.

...I wonder how the angry gender critical men would feel if a similar risk analysis was used to curtail their ability to participate in society? There's a reason so many men are keen to see feminism focussed on attacking trans women. Something Dworkin nailed when she was discussing right wing...

I also got banned from a feminism thread for mentioning class dynamics. It’s about as left wing here as Blue Peter.

I have to say it is good (or at least interesting!) to see this stuff being discussed. Urban has been a bit of a wasteland for discussions on feminism, with some horrible leftie dude-bro stuff going on. Good to see that being challenged. Most active and ‘lived’ feminism remains the parenting...
