Feminism - where are the threads?

Thank you to all the lovely women who contributed to this and the other threads that thought about women and how we are humans, we do deserve to have our say, our place in the world.

So much has happened in the past few weeks that I would like to talk about but I know I am not able to on these boards. The silencing of women and the threats against us for just wanting to congregate and discuss our sex based rights are now seen as hate speech more than ever. But don't let the bastards get you down.

I hope all threads that speak of women as humans continue to flourish xx
 
If, like me, you're using a phone you can't see post numbers. So I have no idea what those posts are either.

Seriously tho, JudyB, don't bother. He ain't worth it.
I know but... I am trying to be civil

Hey have you seen the aggravation about Newport this evening? After Brighton and the violent tweets with knives, bats, etc, I was very concerned about this meeting of middle aged, mostly lesbian and mothers. JFC!
 
Let me (a woman) do the job properly.

I think this is the question JudithB . I personally don't understand it, but perhaps you can decipher it.

this has been playing on my mind today

I don't think feminism is that at all, it's a very peculiar form of feminism you practice if it's nothing to do with men unless they're rapists or gropers. Doesn't your feminism have anything to say about equality in the workplace or home?
 
OK Pickman's model it's not just my feminism, it's what is called feminism. And feminism is basically the want of women to be recognised as human. So that groper in the office or that rapist. Is that something that is peculiar to women? You'll now NAMALT me and also tell me about you or a friend or lots of your friends who are groped by men in the office. And I bet you'll tell me some women have too. But have you ever asked why? That's what feminism is mate. Asking why.

If we could stop men from grabbing us as if we (and I also mean you if it's happened to you or any of your friends) were their property then that would be the same in a workplace as in a home environment.

Women are humans and are raped and abused at work and at home.

Feminism (that doesn't just belong to me) is about stopping the abuse of women due to our biological differences from men. We have two holes, and one of them men penetrate and that fear of penetration from the baddies among you (NAMALT), informs the experiences of all girls and women.
 
That's what I understood.

But also "what about men in the workplace/at home and being 'equal' to them.?"

Personally (IMO) under the currents system trying to be equal under an inherently unequal patriarchal/capitalist society is a fool's game. Work, home or otherwise.

That's just me tho.
Yeh well it's not a namalt question, which is where you're wrong

No. It's not a namalt question so I won't be acting as you outline. Feminism is basically the want of women to be recognised as human? Recognised by who as human? Presumably men. So it is about a) the relationship between men and women, and b) equality. Which is what I've suggested to you only to be told 'you know nothing, Pickman's model'

They are not two separate points. a) women are oppressed by men, and b) women are oppressed by men
 
Pretending inequality does not exist and is not structured around the oppression of women by men due to their reproductive capacity does not make it go away.
 
Pickman's I really don't understand what you are trying to debate and discuss? Oppression of women by men based on their reproductive capacity is real. Inequality between the sexes is real. Yes women would like there to be less inequality. There is nothing new in anything I have stated. None of these statements can be new to you. So what are we meant to be discussing?
