Has banned the use of the word 'clitoris' at its feminist festival as it it trans exclusionary.

I hope it is boycotted by women. How DARE they tell us we cannot celebrate and talk about our female anatomy?

You are right Lumpy, there will be a huge contingent of wide eyed right on women who back this as they're just so utterly desperate to be as progressive as they can. They don't realise they are supporting pure hatred of women disguised in the seemingly liberal, cool cloak of trans equality.

She's an adult herself..ofcourse if it came up in conversation,just never has.....however what drew me to this post was how dare someone tell someone else what words they can't use..that's crazy shit...where do people get off saying,yr not allowed to use that word...I hope all the women going to this ladyfest shout that word loud and proud...

I can see there being secret organisations where adult human females gather just so they can call their body parts their real names.

There are lots of times when you need to use the word Petal. What about if your daughter asked you what it's called, would you tell her?

Petal, look in a mirror and say Clitoris 3 times, double dare you! Smile

LumpySpacedPrincess · 03/06/2016 19:56

Really Petal? What do you call your clioris then?

Petal40 · 03/06/2016 19:55

I have never ever said that word out loud in my life....and I can't think of a situation where I would need to either...it's a funny old word..maybe I'm repressed

Misogyny in a dress is still misogyny. This will get through because all the cool girls will be tripping over themselves to show how utterly down with this they all are. Meanwhile, my rights as a woman are reduced.
