I waded through: If brain ‘sex’ is as valid as biological ‘sex’ then men are women. Feminists who deny men are women are exclusionary and very, very bad. I’m not bad, I think men are women in the same way black women and lesbians are women.
Can I collect my pay cheque now, I really need that Christmas bonus.

Floaty bollocks sums it up nicely

I started reading, then had to skip to the conclusion to try to figure out wtf she was on about. As ever, the woke argument is incomprehensible.

Mmmm... interesting that there is not criticism of the civil rights movement in that. Of course the intersecting oppressions that Black women experience are entirely the fault of 'white feminists' and men in the civil rights movement are entirely let of the hook. Hmm

The usual tedious, woke, man pleasing, penis centred claptrap. I speed read, thank fuck. Even that was a waste of my time.

When will some academics realise that using unecessary word salad is irritating and unnecessary.

So, because the bible says Eve was made from Adam’s rib and because Aristotle called female bodies ‘mutilated males’, that means that apprehension of female bodies overrides the physiological facts?

She’s barking. When Aristotle was live they thought the earth was flat. We know better now. Science has helped make sense of a lot of things since then.

Well that was two minutes of my life I won’t get back.

Yep. Centre the penis. Your concerns are dismissed. Stop being unkind. Lots of word salad.

Sounds like she's drunk the Kool Aid to me.
