Private Eye Cartoon

Wakame's first link is to a cartoon by Barry Deutsch (Ampersand), a man that kept a liberal "feminist" blog which was very hostile to radical feminists. After building an audience mostly based on the fact he was a man talking about feminism (always more valuable than a woman talking about it..) he sold his site to a porn company.

This is the authority wakame goes to when they want to claim knowledge of feminism

Summat. My spellchecker is regionalist and doesn't speak Northern.

Was the 'joke' in that first cartoon from Wakame supposed to be that the 'radical feminist' looked stereotypically feminine and the 'conservative Christian' didn't? anyone would think women were judged by their appearance or summit.

They don't, OlennasWimple. Neither are they homogeneous groups of people with identikit views. I'm surprised that the 'woke' are okay with such sweeping generalisations.

I was hoping that Wakame would talk us through their thought process. But Wakame doesn't seem to want to do that.

I didn't think either rad fems or conservative Christians believed in an "essence" of womanhood, as mentioned in that cartoon from Wakame. Which kinda tipped me the wink about where it was going

See? It really is that funny.

Ba-dum-tish indeed, nauticant.

Followed one of Wakame’s links and found this one, I suspect this is the one that most of us here on mumnet will relate to:

God I love private eye. Nothing is sacred and they simply do not tolerate any nonsense.

Wakame’s main gig seems to be stomping around various feminist parts of the internet posting the same bit of flawed science that Wakame tried on us yesterday in Wakame’s self-started thread ‘Gender Identity - What is it?’

Interestingly, this cartoon (was linked in the ones next to Wakame's) suggests that trans women in bathrooms are a topic of legitimate fear but only for men.

(I don't agree with either of those cartoonists)

I wish that people who don't take seriously the bomb threats against women meeting together would not come here. Is there anyone here who fits that description.

I'll do it. The joke is that gender critical views have got nothing to do with critical thinking, experience, safeguarding, or anything good, but are simply hate and they come from the same place that the hate of Conservative Christians comes.

See? It really is that funny.

What's meant to be funny about Wakame's second cartoon is the proposition that the only way anybody could work out if someone was female, or pre-operative trans woman, or post-operative trans woman, would be to engage in the very behaviour (peering over toilet cubicles) that they say would be enabled by self ID. I think the unfashionable hairstyle and flowery shirt are meant to be funny too, to illustrate how unsexy these cunty women are (this is how I know she's meant to be a cunty woman).

The first cartoon is terrible though. Women can reach the same conclusion through different perspectives, almost like we're thinking humans or something. I mean, I agree that men shouldn't look at porn, but that doesn't make me a member of ISIS just because they think that too...

Are you going to explain the 'conservative Christian' joke Wakame?

I think the boss has mistaken the 3 gender non-conforming women at the table for men

Ohhh... so all the reports about the underrepresentation of women on boards is just a misunderstanding, and its merely that there's not enough female directors wearing skirts and makeup.

I've no idea what the gender or sex of that poster is, but sure as heck they're not someone who takes the idea of women's rights and equality seriously.

The blue notice board.

WAKAME - in your second link there's another cartoon about women's toilets that actually IS funny.
In a very dark way.
The one with the notice board outside the loo.

shiklah no, sorry, I don't. It must have been at least two months ago but the way I'm processing time right now it could have been longer. The row was back in December/January so perhaps it was back then... But there has been a steady trickle of GC cartoons from the Eye.

I hope Wakame understands sarcasm with regards to my last post.

I'm sure Wakame probably has a cod science opinion piece that has stats from a study involving 16 people who once felt that someone gave them a side eye in a public toilet to prove that it is entirely normative behaviour for women to peek at other people in the toilets.

Because, you know, that's scientific consensus, innit?
