And yes, I do get too upset when I see women becoming uncomfortable in feminism threads, and trans and intersex people openly saying goodbye to these forums. And this is one of those weeks :(

i see what you're getting at, but i wouldn't be surprised if many of the things which afflict working class women affected the women you hold up as success stories too. for example, the 'double shift' of paid work out and then unpaid labour at home.

...My education is patchy. I did do course in feminist theory a very long time ago. Bit before it went all about language. Its unfortunate as Feminism could have altered the academy. My old tutor was from Marxist Feminist background plus social research. She was fair about what was called then...

Feminism isn't seen as healthy? I'm a knackered parent too and an ex raver (more fluff than crust), and no what the offside rule is. But unless it's men only round these parts, feminism is a healthy pursuit One could say we wont save the planet without the deconstruction of patriarchal...

Feminism crossed with hippy, with added beef, is as far as I can tell :confused:

In Britain today women can earn as much or more than men so they can clearly "provide" for their needs, while they need sperm to "procreate" it is less certain that they need maleness for long. As for the "protect" part of it I am less sure. My feeling is that the traditional male might in...

There’s a growth of feminism here over the last decade... though some unreconstructed attitudes too. What there isn’t, is specific threads about feminist theory. Feminist input here is embedded into relevant threads.

The retweet of Urban75

Have avoided feminism discussions here for exactly this reason.

If you wish to ban someone you can report a post. Not sure what exactly Jennastan has done to deserve a ban. What about Clair De Lune ? Is a ban in order for that poster?

You can't 'simply' identify into womanhood though. The process takes two years and because of people like you the changes to the Gender Recognition Act have been dropped so you will also need to provide medical evidence of gender dysphoria and be signed off by a doctor. Which is what all this is...

Yeah generaly, but used by a man at a woman in an argument (about feminism of all topics) might be considered, at best, ill judged.

Well fortunately Gavin knows just the case(s). https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/02/16/education-secretary-gavin-williamson-felix-ngole-gays-abomination-free-speech-champion/

Lol. We just wouldn't be told, would we.

...better things to do than watch 'First Dates' on channel 4 but there was a youngish man and woman having a first date and she talked about feminism and he really undermined her views - you could just see what had been a lovely date crumble in her eyes. He was bantering and trying to charm...

On twisting into something transphobic what do you think of Clair De Lune post 1299 on one of the other Feminist threads? Feminism - where are the threads? IMO its been JudithB been dropping in hints about Trans issues without male posters going on about it. Its been pointed out before...

It does read as if 'feminism' is being blamed for a 'bunker mentality' and for making 'boys not want to be boys' anymore. That's the only follow on response to the post above I can see.

Right. So feminism is to blame after all which is exactly what it appeared was being posted. :rolleyes: Oh and get stuffed with your accusations of misreading and deliberate misinterpreting. I specifically asked for clarification.

This is a genuine question. Does someone have to have to use a sexist term in order to be sexist? (You can apply this to racism of homopobia) Surely there are people who act in a discriminatory way without using obviously abusive terms. As a mixed raced black person I have my ideas taken by...

JudithB made clear she was posting the feminism threads for female born women only. Probably the reason they are mostly dead is that most Urbanite women wouldn't condone transphobic shit like this and avoid the threads.
