    Is this woman a transphobe?

    This line of argument gets no-one anywhere. When the area of disagreement is fundamentally about sex and gender, and a commonly used slogan is 'trans women are women', and some would say that one can self-id as either gender, or none, or both, or whatever, then your claim to be a woman proves...

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    Pre-pubescent children are being denied the option to NOT have puberty blockers? Is that really true? Is this from the Abigail Shrier book? This is why I don't think a lot of this has nothing to do with feminism. It's just fear mongering.

    Never mind the virus here's the 2022 reading challenge thread

    ...other books, but perhaps it would be good anyway? I dunno, if you think you might be open to reading a memoir about 1970s socialist feminism then you'd probably like this. A nicely optimistic ending, considering that 1979 wasn't exactly the start of a glorious historical moment. Probably...

    Feminism and violence again women

    I understand that. I have worked with paedophiles. Perpetrators of violence against women and men. I know what labels do. So there you go, those are my qualifications. I would like to engage with the women who have these experiences. I would love to talk about what was said about women's...

    Feminism - where are the threads?

    I guess the journal has a style guide and just saying: the goals of feminism =/= 'girl power' would have been rejected for excessive brevity.

    Irish Politics Thread

    The sight of Geoghegan talking up his being locked out of the housing market, despite his background and career, was galling. Bacik, actually has a chance on transfers I'd of thought. She's Labour, I don't think that party has been forgiven for its role in austerity. So she may keep her losing...

    Is this woman a transphobe?

    God he waffles, I can't sit through all that. I think he seems to be saying that the premise of third wave feminism, and by extention post modernism which he presumes created trans inclusive ideas, is equal inclusion of women within power structures but because Thatcher was a woman and wasn't...

    He didn't get stick, he was asked why that particular paper with its specialist language to illustrate his point.

    The Golden Age of Comics

    ...Archie Comics probably being the best known. With more relationships appearing in Marvel superhero comics in the 60s rendering separate romance titles unnecessary, competition from soap operas on TV, the rise of underground comics and feminism the romance genre all but died out in the early 70s.

    How do you rate on the 8 Values Political Test?

    I'm a little surprised that I scored that high on cultural and eco feminism. Possibly because rather than disagree I took a more "not going to touch that one" approach.

    Mary Wollstonecraft memorial statue provokes mixed reaction

    It doesn’t do it for me I have to say. A naked woman (a thin woman at that) doesn’t scream feminism to me. But that’s the joy with art isn’t it, it provokes widely different opinions and discussion. And in some ways perhaps that is beneficial, as people who had never heard of her might then find...

    Census 2021

    This is a false dichotomy, as its not 'feminism vs transactivism', even if some feminists might want to portray it that way, and certainly a whole load of men having jumped on the bandwagon channeling their sub-glinner, meanwhile its all become very useful 'culture war' material for the right -...

    Feminism - where are the threads?

    Phallic, the Symbolique etc. are terms from Lacanian psychoanalysis and are not specifically sociological terms. I will try to respond to the rest later.
