Radfems and transsexuals – an outsider’s view

I?ve been reading the recent threads discussing feminism and transgender, and pretty challenging I?ve found them too. As an outsider, though, I can?t help thinking a lot of the radfems? concerns aren?t, in reality, an issue when it comes to the practicalities of how men oppress women.

This is going to be a bit of a long post, so to save it all appearing at the top of subsequent pages (assuming there are any) I?ll put the meat of it in a separate post below.

in 2007 i diddnt even know about MN

thechairmanmeow · 03/06/2012 17:46

i've been here for about 18 mouths under this name

thechairmanmeow · 03/06/2012 17:45

2007? you must be joking, where are you getting this from?

NarkedRaspberry · 03/06/2012 17:44

Easier to hide behind a ghost name?

NarkedRaspberry · 03/06/2012 17:43

Funnily enough I only searched the last 3 years. Thanks to your heads up I went back further.

3 posts on one 2007 thread.

So why not use your usual name to have a go at a poster you have a grudge against?

thechairmanmeow · 03/06/2012 17:43

b) we take offense at different things. Men talking about "enveloping' in the context of a rape. Ugh. What can I say? I needed to express my disgust.

read, man quoting radical feminist's article linked to the thread

i have known you insult people dittany.

i dont care how foul your mouth is , you can say fuck all you like i dont care, it's just when you play all upset in the same sentence as though your sentiments can be so easily hurt even though you can hand it out so well.

Pan · 03/06/2012 17:42

"This is all we expect of our male allies on MN. But we rarely, if ever, get it."

and who exactly are these male allies? It's no great lesson to learn that as a rhetoritician, as posters usually are here, it isn't best to generally 'distance' and 'mock' those people who would appear to be offering to be allies, albeit not very well explained. (as a non-feminist don't count me as an ally). This prob. goes for a lot of the rest of MN as well.
