    Police and their unfair treatment

    As far as I can see this is a definite case of rascal pig dogs maintaining the patriarchy and ensuring that feminism is squashed. And a man wouldn't have used public transport, that's for women who can't really drive long distances, modern cars are too powerful for them to handle safely.

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    ...of this thread is. As for: "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." - lots of words, including...

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

    But by the time we're talking about crimes, and whether or not they are beyond the pale, we've missed the main opportunity - that of reducing the likelihood of the crime occurring in the first place, by better detection and dealing with dubious earlier instances (as per this case), but even more...

    Feminism - where are the threads?

    ...I only studied or read feminist stuff in the 80s. Too busy living and being a lesbian activist after that. Seemed to me that by the late 80s feminism had become a niche interest, divisive and cliquey. Found myself rejected by many lesbians and feminists for wearing a frock. ffs. I aways...

    Poly Styrene/X-Ray Spex

    There was a brief shot of a poster saying: 'In a world of Kardashian, be Poly Styrene'. :thumbs: When I searched it it seems to be a thing - lots of people's names came up to be instead of a Kardashian! But I think in her case it is especially apt, somehow.

    Feminism - where are the threads?

    I almost understand this. Can you just say it again in a slightly different way once more? (maybe with an example?)

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    The scale is incomparable. And the problem solvable with gender neutral facilities. That is where the campaign should focus, and I would support that, not in access to female protected facilities, sports, prisons, hospitals and refuges. The fact it is focused on accessing womens space is...

    ...beings would no longer matter culturally”. Firestone and Dworkin were far closer to Butler on this question than they are gender critical feminism, and if there's a point of departure between the two movements it would be attitudes towards sex work rather than acknowledging the social...

    Tim Pool. Investigative journalism in Sweden after Trump allegations on immigration problems

    This reminded me of the old ‘nice guys of OK Cupid’ tumblr which is sadly defunct, full of self-described ‘nice guys’ whose answers to the various questions screamed ‘Avoid!’ (such as ‘a no is just a yes that needs a little persuasion’ and gross stuff like that). Proper ‘Incel’ territory. Poor...

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    I’ve bee thinking about the social basis of gender critical feminism. I don’t necessarily have an answer as to why it is particularly prevalent in the UK, but in my mind it is part of a general fragmentation of the way interests are expressed in the modern world (or at least modern Britain). I...

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    ...@smokedout ? why are 'academic' books so bloody expensive. i do really want this one but am too mean. When you say that gender critical feminism is "a conservative movement that asserts that men are always stronger and inherently violent so the best women can hope for is to establish safe...

    Shere Hite dies aged 77

    I read it when I was about 17 and then revisited it throughout my twenties alongside other books. Found it really interesting and enlightening. It informed a lot of my developing feminism. Gawd rest her bones.
