[Orang Utan]

Fuck knows, another demonstration of language which alienates people. Kyriarchy etc. If I was to hazard a guess I'd say spiking people's speed with ket and sexually assaulting them

Kyriachy? And WTF is CIS?

 

[tufty79]

WTF is CIS?

'where an individual's self-perception of their gender matches their sex'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

(i was told by someone that it meant 'comfortable in skin/self' )

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh, finally, I am something. I am a cis! Or a cyst.

 

[Athos]

I quite like "hate-weasel" though

You bunch of otter, otter, bastards.

That stoat-ally unfair!

 

[equationgirl]

Wtf is rapebombing?

Doesn't seem to be a commonly used term for anything, looks like an LP made-up word.

 

[equationgirl]

I'll have a go at something over the weekend. Need film submission ideas. True Identity is ideal.

I'll have a think about some suitable films.

Thank you

Mask has to be one of them.

OK, she's not TG, but she's played by Cher.

If you google it, only our Penny and counterfire (lol) use it.

However following it's mention on here I reckon this thread will be now included.

She also takes photos of the books she is reading to look all intellectual and right on. I am starting to warm to the lass, I must admit, she's a troll

Worryingly she has several books I do including one I am reading now, the Atrocity Archives after Amazon kept trying to flog me Stross

Please, please, please do a poster promoting the insectionality film festival to raise funds for the bomb

[love detective]

Do you think this true, ld?

To say there is a 'rape culture' on the left is absurd

That's not to deny though that some lefties are rapists, and just like rape in wider society those crimes are not reported or dealt with, but to talk about it as a 'culture' is just pure hyperbole

 

[love detective]

It's almost as if someone is goading IWCA on purpose after the run-in with Dave Thurrock.

I don't think so - i think it just shows once again the distance between penny and what she writes about

 

[SpineyNorman]

The Left Needs A New Salute (1000 words on why the raised fist should be replaced with something less macho like a wiggly fingers coo-eee greeting. Easy money.)

Jazz hands.

 

[Bakunin]

Do you own that?

Thankfully, it's not one that I'd even consider owning.

Athos and the rest of the misogyny rabble so-called left here scan the heavens for La Pennionara's next flypast and leaflet drop.

she strikes me as a bit like zoolander but without the social conscience.

Kyriachy? And WTF is CIS?

Kyriachy is describing a situation where a small number of people have power/domination, and they come from a variety of backgrounds - it came from recognising that patriarchy is not right for describing a world in which women can be in power, and in which men may not be oppressors.. I'm not sure what was wrong with oligarchy for this word tbh thinking about it now, but it does describe something that is worth noting when you come from identity politics - which is that it's all very complicated really.

Cis in latin is the opposite of trans, so when academics I guess were looking for word to describe people born in the right body, they logically thought let's see what antonyms trans has in latin and went for cis. I've only ever seen it written down though, does anyone know if it's pronounced with a hard or soft C? I've assumed hard cos I think that's how latin does Cs

It actually plays straight into the EDL's hands as well because they've capitalised on the SWP thing at the moment and are saying exactly that.

it seems counter productive to point out the frequency of wrong uns in their ranks at this time, lest it descend into nonce trumps.

I saw someone refer to 'Cis-ters' the other day so I'm assuming it's a soft c.

It's not even a frequency though - well no more than any other group. It happens, like it happens anywhere.

One-on-one, you fingerspell H-A-H-A but with tiny little movements and a sarcastic look on your face. Larger scale, basically slow jazz hands. With a sarcastic look on your face.

[Ronnie Rubashov]

Hang on professor...I still don't this whole left thing...do you

recognise your state of oppression, see that you're not alone and look to cast of your oppressor....or spend your time listing in detail the particular ways in which your uniquely oppressed and then vie on twitter for the lowest rung on the ladder?

It's certainly is soft C
