Munroe Bergdorf for Grazia "Women Are Getting Feminism Wrong.

The thing that really frustrates me is ‘woke’ media supporting the idea that being female has anything to do with identity. For Bergdorf (and I assume anybody else who thinks you can be a ‘real’ woman or ‘just as good as any other woman’), to be female is to be accepted as a member of a club.

It’s as though we have regressed 100 years and you can either be a respectable lady defined by your virtue (‘proper’) or non existent.

Welcome to the Blocked By LM Club, Expatmatt!

Sorry tried to show photo/ been blocked by LM I feel kind of proud that I came across his radar it took me a week of peaking

Well it's finally happened

I mean I only read (past tense) for fun and fluff but this giving a platform to the dangerous I'll informed MB who appears to have a "fan base" is scary and dangerous

That piece is the dictionary definition of mansplaining. Grazia’s dwindling readership numbers will dwindle further. Glamour magazine didn’t survive putting Juno Dawson in as a columnist, not even after removing him from the main magazine and only putting him online. Grazia won’t do well for putting this goady fucker in their magazine.

Meghan taking the piss.

This unpleasant, shallow narcissist is getting being a decent human being wrong, so...

Still a bloke.

Sorry correction to "she spots" should have been "he spouts" (dont rant and type)

Its ridiculous but also scary - MB seems to have a strong platform where she spots any shit and the replies are "wow I never knew thanks for educating me" - for example that Suffragettes were not to be celebrated as they were "in fact" "White Supremacists" who deliberately denied black women the vote. This is becoming actual re writing of history, villainizing (actual) women who did and sacrificed so much.
Then at the same time as Grazia mag did this, a journo from Elle Magazine tweets to LM asking for an interview. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
Then Corbyn recruits MB as well as LM. He is apparently going to be an advisor about women...
And I hadnt even SEEN the Jan issue of British Vogue with the cover "The New Suffragettes" which included Paris Lees!!
I am BEYOND Peaking right now. And I dont understand how more women are not aware what is going on.
I only started seeing it talked about on here, which lead me to Twitter (and starting my own account) and the recent article in the Independent about LM is so skewed that I suppose the MSM isnt even picking up on the fury that I see on Twitter.
I dont talk about this in RL but i sure wish I could start bringing other women I know to Peak.

My favorite part was the claim that not all vaginas are pink, as though the hats were vagina symbols instead of women's solidarity symbols.

FYI vaginas are indeed pinkish, as are most organs in our body, what with the blood circulating and all.

What really pissed me off about TRAs claiming that certain language , symbols etc (like the pussy hat) are 'exclusionary' is that its an intellectually flawed statement. It is not an 'exclusionary' act to mention or discuss something in the presence of a person who does not possess that thing. If a group of women have a conversation about breastfeeding, that does not by definition 'exclude' a transman who may prefer to say that he is 'chestfeeding'. It's just using accurate language to describe what is happening.

This applies to all sorts of situations in which human experiences are inevitably different. If able bodied people discuss going for a walk in the presence of a wheelchair user, it is not 'exclusionary'. If wealthy people discuss a recent holiday in the presence of a less well off friend, that is not 'exclusionary'. On occasion, individuals may feel left out, annoyed or whatever, but that is part of the broad spectrum of human experience, and that does not mean that others are trying to diminish or deny you.

Yes I am, BlindYeo. I misunderstood what you wrote..

Men have tried for years to erase Black women and other WOC, as well as poor women from the Feminist movement, to pretend it was all white upper class women dissatisfied with their privileged existence. MRAs make the same argument to this day. Zombie lies never die because men never stop telling them.

You're making the same point as me

Sorry, BlindYeo, I got that bollixed up.

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights which was founded February 16, 1946 will be astonished to hear that, BlindYeo.

The UK has a proud history of campaigning for animal rights and welfare. Since long before the EU even existed. The concept of human rights wasn't invented in 1993 either.

Derail but to be fair to the UK I understand UK standards for farm animals are higher than what is required under EU rules.

Inclusiveness when Munroe speaks and cries of 'white feminism' when we speak.

As for 'X company is ace because they do not test on animals'; Animal testing for cosmetics was banned in the EU decades ago. Thanks to a lot of protesting and petitioning.

Then people voted Brexit so tough shit. Thats gone now along with human rights protection.

These women do not see me as a ‘real woman’.

Mate, nobody sees you as a real woman, on account of the fact that you are male.

Tbf, Monroe has pissed a lot of people off with her event Labour appointment. If you look at the Uk subs on a Reddit, they are all highly critical of this decision. Even the Labour sub isn't happy! This may turn out to work in our favour.

L'Oreal do not test on animals.

Munroe Bergdorf is a chippy mansplainer who appropriates the history and cultures of groups he has no connection with ... I think that's called colonisation, which is ironic considering Munroe is totes against colonisation.

30% of L'Oréal is owned by Nestlé so not the pinnacle of ethically sound companies.
