Most stupid centring of men on national women's day

Thank fuck I didn't hold my breath waiting for this ground breaking, Nobel prize shoe-in, all new, up to date science.

You've let us down but worst of all you've let yourself down @ElonsMusky tsk, tsk.

Friend's employer put a collage of pictures of their "women" employees on their social media for IWD. Guess the sex of the one who got the biggest, most prominent picture? 🤔

Was so tempted to comment but my IG is in my real name. If it had been twitter...

I heard there was a science presentation

and to answer the OP, Hershey's post didnt go down well

Spotted a post from the business department at Cambridge University today for IWD that one of my very distant contacts put a critical comment on. I’ve no connection so didn’t comment myself. It got deleted after a few hours.

Basically said behind all great men are amazing women… wives, mothers etc …. and we need to celebrate them because the men wouldn’t be as amazing without their support. WTAF? I thought I’d stepped back in time… like an episode of Mad Men

Well this is disappointing. No PowerPoint Musky?

I'll tell the drummers they can go home

Have I missed this evening's lecture?

Dammit.

Elon, darling, would you be a sweetie and Dropbox your scientific papers along with your presentation notes?
I'll print them out for use tomorrow.

Oh, and don't forget, you can't assume anything about the "lady-brains" on here because it's called Mumsnet. See pp above.
I get scared to post most of the time because a) I'm not a Mum, and b) I've only got a BA (Ist class Hons in a science subject.)

I’ve just remembered at an old workplace the featured blogs on our company Intranet on International Women’s Day were from a middle aged man talking about how women in his life were important, and a transwoman talking about how empowered she was.

As someone who had had to take the company through a grievance process to be able to return to work part time after maternity leave, it was particularly galling.

I’m still waiting for someone to explain, without using regressive gender stereotypes, how you live as a woman. Will @ElonsMusky cover this in the science webinar? Can’t wait!

Not quite the same horror but struggling a bit to diplomatically ignore the social media post of a colleague saying that on IWD she’s saying thanks to all the awesome colleagues, allies and mentors who’ve helped her career and listing 20 odd blokes 0 women. Erm ….

*all hail!

I, for one, am looking forward to @ElonsMusky ’s explanations. It’s time to end our oppression by gamete dimorphism! All hall the new trans science!

Just because you quit learning in 8th grade, doesn't mean biology end at the 8th grade level hun.

Does this mean you're going to spout that American Scientist article about xxy/xxx/xyy etc etc chromosomes in the hope of convincing us that 'biological sex is complicated', when in fact, what that article does, is explain that disorders of sex development sometimes cause a 'glitch in the matrix' in males and females, often with life limiting consequences, but in actual fact, is nut evidence of any other sex, besides male or female.

Humans are sexually dimorphic. Even humans who are unable to reproduce are not evidence of a third sex. Women are adult human females who are born with the potential to conceive and gestate offspring. Males are not.

That is the biological reality of human beings,

Everything else is personality, fashion or fetish.

You forgot the fairy dust, which in this case must be derived from their own x chromosomes, duplicating and inserting onto the end of their damaged y.
It most have been a shock to discover that it wasn't we who were incomplete with no dangly bits , but them without some vital DNA,
Funny I haven't seen any of this new science in New Scientist.

We don’t have “grades” here, “hun”. But I’ve got four postgrad degrees; care to enlighten me on this new science you’re apparently so keen to tell us about….? Or is this “science” just stuff you’ve read on Tumblr?

Oh, I've got a PhD in biochemistry and am an actual working scientist. Please explain your science to me, you won't need to dum it down at all.

Oh dear. I mean, I'm no sciencetta, but that sounds more like childish bants than peer reviewed exciting Novel Science.

I fear I've been getting all excited about nothing. 🙁

🙏

It feels like organisations are now too scared to give awards and accolades to ACTUAL women, for fear of the TRA WRATH that will inevitably ensue as a result of daring not to centre men. So yet again, women are collateral damage.

Why am I not surprised that you are US based @ElonsMusky?

Explain the biology to us then, at GCSE and A level for us UK types.

Here for the latest science / magic that means that when some people say “I am a woman!” they magically transform into one.

It's like Peter Pan & 'I can fly'. You just have to believe & wish hard enough and it will all come twue.

'BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEE'

Fuck's sake.

pissing myself at this
