I was told recent that lesbians are non-men loving non-men Hmm.

I asked if by that logic gay men were non - women loving non-women and got the Confused look back!!!

So a lesbian could quite feasibly be a camel having a loving relationship with a goat.

Figures. I am beyond over these men and this movement.

He's been around a while, and he posted at length about himself on the thread where he attacked an FGM survivor and campaigner. He's a bloke.

If you're interested, this is the thread.
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/4170253-Anti-FGM-campaigner-Hibo-Wardere-comes-under-attack?

A certain non-female poster was very obsessed with Hibo Wardere's posting history on twitter, so I've taken the liberty of including further posts from her. Think about those posts when you read the non-female's input.

If you should find yourself overwhelmed with rage on her behalf, she leads the UK charity Educate Not Mutilate. I'm sure it could do with financial support from MNers. Maybe set it as a beneficiary on EasyFundraising?

The Green Party started with the "Non-men" rubbish back in 2015 or so, at their Party Conference.

I have never voted Green since at any level (council, national, EU when we could). And I'm in an area where the Greens could have a significant voice in local government.

Because it includes people who aren't women. It's for female and non-binary DJs, and includes people even GC people wouldn't consider to be women.

Male and female are sexes, that’s what they’re referring to in their language, nothing to do with gender. Or did you think non-binary was a third sex?

So, the OP's original complaint that women are being erased because they are being referred to as a group "non-males" is not true? That's exactly my point - thank you for confirming it.

Mate, you're entitled to your beliefs, including your misogyny. You're not entitled to require others to validate them.

You've stated your beliefs. Mine are that all humans are either male or female, this is a fixed state that never changes, and it's possible for the very small proportion of people who choose gender beliefs and ideologies to have their needs met and be included in society without dehumanising and stomping all over women. And that when they do, this is a choice and not a necessity.

YMMV.

CorruptedCauldron · 25/09/2023 11:41

The ad should have specified females and all trans / non-binary people - assuming they mean females (regardless of any gender ID) and males (but only those in the TQ+ community). Basically it covers everyone except male people who don’t identify as trans / NB.

Helleofabore · 25/09/2023 11:39

DadJoke · 25/09/2023 11:08

You can't have it both ways. Either you are complaining that women are being defined as "non-males" in this ad or you think that nonbinary people and trans women are female.

Your misogyny knows no bounds. On nearly every thread you bring it out like some bright beacon that you are proud of.

Women are not ‘non-males’ and that you don’t understand why, after years of being on a feminist chat board shows you are incapable of understanding women or feminism.

And your false limiting the options is a cognitive distortion. There are not only the oversimplified statements you have made to consider. Because it is not acceptable to label women and girls as non-male. I would hazard a guess in that even in science that non-male term would be rejected in humans.

Non-binary people and trans people remain the sex they were born. This ad used offensive language and it could have used clearer additive language. Again, there were far more options than your over simplified limitations.

But don’t worry, any readers by now would see your posts and read the responses and realise they have witnessed a misogynistic live demonstration.

Thanks for that.

'Male' and 'female' are binary categories by definition. Non male = Female.

RebelliousCow · 25/09/2023 11:33

And so my point being - if you just want the event open to females - why don't you just say so. why bother withthe pretension of 'non males'?

" Female DJs wanted".

RebelliousCow · 25/09/2023 11:27

.....for the reason they remain male.

You don't get to choose which way women must "have it".

You also misunderstand the point. Male and female are biological descriptors - not gender descriptors.'Non males' therefore equals females. -and that includes transmen ( women who identify as men), women who identify as non-binary, and actual women women.

What females does not include is men or males. Therefore - no transwomen or men with non binary identities.

CampervanKween · 25/09/2023 11:21

Dad joke, you are a complete joke. Inserting your male privilege in a place where it is so unwelcome. Wilfully misunderstanding the women on this thread. Nasty behaviour. Try to be better going forward. No-one wants to see such nonsense 🙄

There are non-binary people there, including those you would call men. So, not just women, even by your standards.

Yes Dadjoke, those are male. Would you like a diagram, or a link to a basic biological text?

So, the OP's original complaint that women are being erased because they are being referred to as a group "non-males" is not true? That's exactly my point - thank you for confirming it.

RebelliousCow · 24/09/2023 19:25

The issue is that they are now moving on from claiming 'womanhood'- to actually claiming they are female......Sex and gender, even for gender theorists, are two separate categories.

You have to be male to be a transwoman by definition. You cannot be a transwoman if you are female.

I think the gender ideologues have realised that people have now sussed out that woman and female are distinct categories ( and that males, even those that identify as women can be excluded from female sports categories and provisions) -and they are trying to claim new ground

You can't have it both ways. Either you are complaining that women are being defined as "non-males" in this ad or you think that nonbinary people and trans women are female.

I have not yet RTFT but God this is disgusting. I grew up partly in South Africa of the 1960s/70s and this reminds me horribly of the signs in places like public loos and beaches denoting which were for "non-whites".

@Boiledbeetle I would be beyond honoured 🤣

It was not intentional to be poetic, turns out that us what happens when you’re really pissed off

Edited

😘I'll go and stick it on the other thread right now so I don't lose it.

itsmeafterall · 25/09/2023 08:09

So how about we switch tables?

Men become non-women.

So the flyer would read 'non non-women' ?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If we only have males and non-males, then Male = the Default Human.

Ah, the patriarchy. Still alive and well.

CampervanKween · 24/09/2023 19:35

I am actually astounded that somebody would come on to the feminist board and scold women for complaining that they are now being referred to as "non male". Fuck off to the furthest side of fuck with that gaslighting misogynistic bullshit.

MN and this board in particular have always been a target interesting those who like to misog. It's a board for women, talking about women instead of please sir, may I have another. Its intrinsically provoking.

It reminds me of that rant in the The Thin Blue Line about 'you insist on eating prawn cocktail crisps even though we have told you not to!'.

Then it isn't "non male", is it?
