Jane Fae: The coronavirus death rate for men is high possibly because women 'are not pulling their weight in the crisis'

How is this anything other than a men's rights movement?

Which is surprising really as some seem to have managed to get enough surgery for them to speak out of their arseholes in the first place.

DuLANGDuLANGDuLANG · 07/04/2020 09:25

Bleating about your cosmetic surgery being pushed back at a time when others are having time-sensitive-cancer surgeries delayed is the absolute height of aresholery.

What's interesting is that the usual TRAs seem to have not the slightest awareness that the way their complaints are being received is shifting.

Shocking that it takes a global pandemic for people to pull their heads out if their arses, but there you go. 🤷‍♂️

We were having this discussion yesterday. With the world being in the merde, people are going to take a hard look at general nonsense and call time on it all.

The grown ups are returning to the room.

This sexism is glaring and the trans fashion trend is just about to hit a bloody big road block

Oh Goddess, I HOPE so.

AnyOldSpartabix · 07/04/2020 08:22

Oh Janey. Silly girl. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. Let the real women get on with it and make sure you self isolate, you poor little thing.

I actually remember being told it was an adaptation from millennia of only getting fed after the men had nabbed the best stuff, but with hindsight that bit might not have been entirely scientifically proven

Nope. Gathering has been more calorific and regular than hunting in most places so that's unlikely. Also men who didn't share meat were ummmm unlucky in other reproductive areas because force really only works when you can guard resources.

So the likelihood would be that evolution favours longer lived women because of usefulness. Women gather into old age, tend the fire, take care of kids, know where the water is, and on and on. Young men can hunt, defend and that gets old quickly. Society (evolutionarily) benefits from young strong men and old clever women.

My favourite theory is that insomnia in menopausal women is so we can stay up all night guarding the fire/on watch. Bastards.

GrumpyHoonMain · 06/04/2020 22:58

Nature needs women to live longer because we have useful parts to play before, during, and after reproductive age for the survival of our species. Men don’t.

Fae might like to take note.

Ah but that does not specify cis women. Its only cis women who are bad and selfish. That graph and stats are clearly transwomen. As transwomen and 'cis' women are different, yet the same dontyaknow Hmm

I have a friend working in a care home whom I'm worried for. She won't even talk about what's going on at work.

R0wantrees · 06/04/2020 13:03

Red Yes, the implications for those resident, working in & responsible for older people care homes doesnt seem to be fully realised by many yet. These people are disproportionately female.

RedToothBrush · 06/04/2020 12:59

Especially because there are so many more women in care homes than men.

And its looking a lot like people in care homes have all but been abandoned to over stretched carers who have no PPE and no medical skills. The policy seems to be for 'palliative care' but that is a stretch as a term as there doesn't sound like there is as much care going on as there should be.

RedToothBrush · 06/04/2020 12:51

It won't surprise me if we find that a higher number of women die of coronavirus at home than do in hospital when the research is eventually done.

terfmcgee · 06/04/2020 12:49

It is not great to conflate MRAs with feminists, yikes! As a feminist, you'll be so shocked to learn that I love some men! That does not mean I think feminism is about them, it does not need to be about them, that is not the same thing as hating men.

"Genetic super power" XX

💪 !

Oh and also why more autoimmune diseases in women.

NeurotrashWarrior · 06/04/2020 12:00

Thanks for the link R0, absolutely fascinating and confirms many things I've wondered about why there's always more males in sen schools.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 06/04/2020 11:26

You can block the testosterone, but those testosterone cell receptors never go away.

A terrible surge of testosterone waiting to happen.

Like a blocked sink.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 06/04/2020 11:23

And what do you think of female genetic superiority Fae?

Do tell.

PertEllaTitsahoy · 06/04/2020 11:21

Chromosomes are transphobic too huh?

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 06/04/2020 11:13

you can fill a man with oestrogen, but the cells that are responding are still male.

Indeed. Just no way to identify round this, really.

Viruses don't care how long your hair is, how much make up you wear, or how silky your dress is. It's just irrelevant. What matters is your chromosomes, sorry to be so reductionist.

Lordfrontpaw · 06/04/2020 10:43

genetic superiority Can’t fake that.
