I needed autocarrot to get it right! And I'm usually good at spelling!

Can’t believe you deserted me practising 😳

I think this has been standard Mumsnet parenting protocol since its inception over 20 years ago.

Although I think there were women arguing that feminism had gone too far back then too.

You identify as having a degree. That's legitimate. Did you go to a RG imaginary university? Did you wear blue or pink when you graduated?

This Greer? Hilarious, yeah.

"If you spread your legs because he said ‘be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie’ then I’m afraid that’s tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about that."

As someone said to me, unless you were never given a doll or pink clothes, never taught to cook, you do have a gender ID because you haven’t escaped the outcomes of them.

Both my DC were given dolls and pink clothes. They can also cook. DC1 made dinner tonight. What's their gender ID please?

Edit to add about cooking

Are you sure it's a c-section scar? Maybe It's just identifying as a c-section scar
If your dad cooks he's probably actually your mum.

True facts. Based on my imaginary degree.

That’s exactly what it is, it was essentially 3 years of discussing how women are represented and affected by gender ideologies, specifically in media.

The reason I believe that I have a gender ID that is shaped by those ideologies is because I find “adult human female” really reductive. I think it implies that’s all woman is - a set of parts, and that’s got to be a bad thing.

I don’t think it’s insane to think that the way our society is set up affects who we are, and I believe we have to accept that to be able to challenge the flaws in it.

It’s not about whether I wasted time learning about feminism and/or gender, I was saying that everytime I post here and say I believe something, people respond with “you’re confused” or “there are intelligent women here” (ie, you’re not one) - like those who have a different belief must be stupid. And like I said, different opinions can still be informed ones.

We’re not “fixated” on the degree matter. We’re making light fun of it. Very different! 😆

And why were you bored by Germaine? She’s a brilliantly funny, acerbic writer. As far from Butler as could possibly be.

My dad can cook and my mum can't. (Literally, cannot. Could not, if her life depended on it.)

My mum's C-section scar says she's the one who gave birth to me though.

I don’t know why you’re all so fixated on the degree matter. I mentioned it literally because it at least evidenced that I had actually looked into what I was saying, and wasn’t just blindly posting. Like I said, different books.

Some of them likely the same, actually. I have been bored to death by Greer, I have read my Friedan, looked at the Beauty Myth, struggled to work out why Butler had to write in unnecessary convoluted ways. I’ve read it all, and formed this view.

I said it, because so many of you resort to “read a book.” I’ve read some of them, thank you. Enough of them.

In my exact personal life, the sexism is so covert I’m not seeing it. My world is not ran by men, and I am not beholden to them. By no means do I think that’s the case everywhere for everyone.

I am critical of the way gender ideologies oppress women, and I do believe that they’re naturally prejudiced to do so. But to say you don’t have a gender ID is IMO to say you’re not affected by that, at all, and you are. You cannot not be.
