Of course male contributions to the main topic of the thread - Feminism - are welcome. The point is that feminism and related topics are worthy of lots more discussion, but it seems to me that good contributions to thread are not ones which substantially change the subject (especially to a male...

The same reason the feminism one is. The OP is about attitudes not medical specifics. Even if it's being dragged that direction.

What do you think is worth celebrating about feminism? What does it mean to you?

...up liking and it works as a drama and a history lesson. Gloria Steinem I knew a reasonable amount about but the other figures of US 70s feminism, I often knew no more than the names and it made me read up on them. Making an antagonist like Phyllis Schlafly the central characters draws a line...

Maybe take it up with the people who are talking about voting tory, rather than the people who aren't? And if we're going back to the quote discussed in the OP, I still think you're using a really unhelpful set of criteria. There are some statements that are obviously motivated by hatred or a...

...middle aged divorce wasn't in my ballpark yet. The film was a big deal then, probably being the major Hollywood film informed by second wave feminism of the late 70s. Since it came out the film hasn't been that easy to see and I thought it may have rightfully been consigned to the dustbin of...

Sorry to be argumentative, but that's not necessarily feminism, is it? It's just being women.

This is old classic of Marxist Feminism still in print: Verso

...in Theory was Marxist feminist but rated this book as very good theory of women's oppression. I think partly because McKinnon radical feminism and Marxist Feminism are both critical of liberal feminism. Toward a Feminist Theory of the State - Wikipedia I've read excerpts of her work. She...

...friends accounts. I've been doxed online before by toxic boomer men (similar adminning bollocks) and you can't be too careful tbh. Last time it was so bad there had to be police involvement. Seeing this is a feminism thread I just can't see any benefit in any of this bullshit for any of us. tbh.

...on Stranger Things right now I would have started it. So much of what you say about the book I think hoorah. You know the parts I am interested to possibly counter... I look forward to more discussion with you Gramsci on the discourse once I have read it :) ETA my copy of Feminism for the 99%

btw, are we not verging into feminism and a world designed for french men? (a totally different thing :D)

...or not, a feminist. Humanist and Feminist aren't conflicting positions. You may not describe yourself as one, you may not like the idea of 'feminism' but you are one unless you specifically believe women to be lesser, deserve less etc. I find it odd that women will jump through these...

...important for men to discuss how they feel, what hurts their feelings and why, what makes them feel small, angry etc. But it needs to be initiated by men, not mediated by women on a thread explicitly about feminism. Every. Bloody. Thread. About. Feminism. Go and start one. Talk. It's a good...

That's my point... you meanie.

For me, this is a very good personal example of this, posted by kabbes earlier... For me it is very much a 'nurture' thing and there is a drip, drip, drip effect that has us internalising and becoming/applying the double standards that we actually hate.

What rules? did I miss the memo too? So what are your rules then? There are feminists who are not terfs and not every discussion about feminism has to be about trans issues. There are other treads for that. I'm not sure why are you being so confrontational.

Men can be allies and we are grateful to those that are. But feminism is about women. I am not going to continue answering you. Because I know the form now and there is no point is there :)

Effectively there's broad consensus on what fascism and ultra nationalism are and why they're inimical to our movement, there is no such consensus over "transphobia" , "gender critical feminism " and associated themes so now we resort to rules and physical force.
