...out of a couple of gametes is preposterous, let alone unproven by just stating it. Have a read of that Top Girls paper I posted a few pages ago. There was indeed a subversion of feminism to serve the needs of capitalism, but I don’t know why you think it was feminists that did the subverting.

...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-54886813 A ten year campaign for "the mother of feminism" to be commemorated on Newington Green has now concluded. A lot of people seem to have strong feelings about the statue by Maggi Hambling though. I have to say, having contributed to the...

I wasn't clear, pre-pubescent children definitely have the option of not taking puberty blockers. My point was whether you pass or don't pass (which came out of the conversation about being "seen as" one sex or the other) is a lot to do with puberty for transwomen. Avoiding it makes passing much...

...is being rediscovered. I liked the film. Its a very political film. There are discussions of the relationship between Republicanism and Feminism. Which was very much sidelined during the Troubles. Also growing up and living in the fraught history of NI. The women's Father for example ( a...

i think i've put my finger on it. my feminism doesn't centre broken men who are accused of child sexual abuse (or 'messing around with kids' as she chose to dismiss it). if i was maggie hambling making a film with/for a mental health and arts charity (hambling was also an official patron of...

...benefit for refugees (and it was excellent. Josh Widdecombe gained my respect by putting on a first-class set even though he was doing it for free). Another recent pre-covid visit was all about Suffragettes and feminism (not comedy exactly, but genuinely funny). I hope Lee Hurst read about...

I had wondered about the Reclaim The Night thing and where things stood with it. The timing def seems right.

It’s more than that. Maybe you might have to be socialised as a woman for a long time to properly understand the righteous white hot rage that grows in many of us (especially in recent years) towards male violence and male entitlement. I have that rage, but I don’t see trans women as men...

...If there was a Feynman or Dawkins or Medawar of psychdynamics or politics I’d be all over that. I read Talking to my Daughter about Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis (Greek guy) and that was brilliant in explaining capitalism for beginners. Would love the same for Marx and Freud and feminism ideas.

Just finished this , loved it , mrs21 loved it too, Blanchett is excellent (and scary !) And all the other main actors excellent as well

Edie, I still don’t get why you think it is “feminism” (by which I assume you must mean those directing feminist academia, because if not, what else?) that is pushing an agenda of successful have-it-all consumerist power via being a top worker as the priority of feminism. This just isn’t the...

...I came across your boards because I'm looking for somewhere that seems to have an active philosophy section. I can't find a thread about feminism, except one asking about the third wave, which most feminists if worth their salt would disregard these days. Are there any feminists on here? If...

To be fair this isn't the complete story. There is one current within second wave rad fems that has influenced the gender critical movement and that is political lesbian separatism - the idea that woman who have sex with men are sleeping with the enemy, that true feminists should overcome their...

...is an open careerist versus a barely concealed careerist. Welll, maybe that's unfair to IB, who does actually believe her brand of liberal feminism. But she's been a consistent failure in Dail elections, ending up in the Senate instead. Further down the ballot there are various weird and...

I am interested to see where feminism is heading, after a fairly long absence (when I kinda lost any point of engagement and stopped feeling comfortable within the loosely affiliated women organisations and social/political groups I had been involved in...although, to be fair, I have been on...

...or psychodynamic ideas generally, in a straightforward and engaging way. I find them so hard to grasp, so even adding in a layer of jargon quickly becomes impossible for me to understand. Same with feminism or sociology like what kabbes brought up. Any short ‘explainer’ videos then sling em up!
