"Feminists have LONG pointed out that right and left have developed their own, differing routes to exploiting women. To suggest feminists who call out left wing bullshit are therefore in support of right wing bullshit is to vastly underestimate how much bullshit there is." Victoria Smith.

Feminism has always been fighting on all fronts.

I suspect the Green Party is full of useful idiots atm but when push comes to shove they’ll find Islam actually isn’t open to being queered and the blue hairs will find themselves in a quandary.

My god, he’s wearing a HEA name badge. Sometimes I really hate how teaching and learning pedagogy helps advance fetishisation.

Where does it put feminism? Fighting on all fronts?

Much of it seems so .... Trumpy.

Causing offence and outrage to demonstrate power.

That is going to put Reform in a bit of a quandary if it happens, isn't it? On the one hand I suspect they are opposed to trans-anything and gender-woo; on the other I am fairly sure they are opposed to Muslims. Which side will they hate more?

Yes, a 1500 year old world religion with 4 million adherents in the UK vs The batshit coalition of Greens, Queer theorists and men with fetishes.

If I were a betting woman.....

On the contrary, he says his pronouns are they/them. Suggesting he identifies as non binary not as a transwoman.

Is Queer theory going to try to queer Islam too?
Yes they are, which is when it will finally be ripped apart, and I mean literally ripped limb from limb, the intersectionality in the Green Party is how the loony tunes think it's going to go, but they're in for a rude awaking. They won't be 'woke' for long though, it's going to get bloody.

Oxford are chasing the Chinses Renminbi/Yuan not the petro doller, so they may not care about offending Muslims.

I imagine the powers that be at Oxford haven't quite arrived at the logical endpoint of all this "bring your whole self to work" thing yet, which is what to do when they get sued by a very rich Omani parent who finds out that this is the kind of thing their daughter has been subjected to all term. I used to work at an international school and the Omani girls practically had body guards (female) around them 24/7. Their parents took no shit.

Have the university commented? There have to be students who didn’t feel comfortable going along with this. Surely?

We must be at a point where a proper debate happens where anyone with a concerns about the whole gender identity discussion is not just shut down. I am equally concerned that we are sleep walking because of the ‘be kind’ mantra that a generation of vulnerable girls, mainly autistic, have been used as a social experiment and now identify out of woman hood. Goodness what a mess.

This lecturer is supposed to be preparing young people for the workplace- or am I misguided on that?

I keep ruminating on the role that religion/religious sensibilities/religious cohesion played in keeping this sort of thing out of the workplace in the past.

And in that vein, I wonder whether Oxford worries about him performing womanface in front of overtly religious students, Muslim being the obvious example, particularly female ones. Is Queer theory going to try to queer Islam too?

I think doing this fits the definition of caricature astonishingly neatly, overall

Merriam Webster

exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics

Cambridge

the art of making) a drawing or written or spoken description of someone that usually makes them look silly by making part of their appearance or character more noticeable than it really is

Collins

If you caricature someone, you draw or describe them in an exaggerated way in order to be humorous or critical.

(NB. Transwomen would argue they're taking the critical approach - a critique and subversion of gender norms).

Dictionary.com

a picture, description, etc., ludicrously exaggerating the peculiarities or defects of persons or things.

any imitation or copy so distorted or inferior as to be ludicrous.

Note @PrizedPickledPopcorn,'s words, a few posts after your own: "He’s just wearing exhibitionist comedy boobs to work. That shouldn’t be receiving support from management. Hen night, stag night, panto, fancy dress costumes aren’t suitable for work."

But it's all done in the best POSSIBLE taste

Except many of these men have a humiliation fetish too.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

There really is nothing, nothing these narcissistic fuckers won't whine about and try and get us 'paying for'.

The fawning handmaidens and yes men may think they're getting it right, keeping themselves safe, but they'll find out, when the wind blows the wrong way or something, that they'll eventually end up offending billy big tits or whoever they're supportive of then they'll see what he really thinks of them.

In that White House story above, I was quite surprised to see that it was the Biden White House that banned the TIM (and the others in the shot with him). Shows that the Dems actually did have some limits, which you wouldn't have known from the Presidential campaign. It will be interesting to see what their messaging on trans inclusion is, both for the midterms and in two years' time, because the Reps were horrifically successful in using it against them last time round.

Spotted on X, sums it up nicely I reckon

Well, yes, me as well, but you know women have been disciplined for eye rolls, too. It's bullying and harassment apparently.

Well, this is where the sparkly knitted willies could be a win. They represent sex organs but they're just funny, not realistic enough to be overtly sexual, they're not harrassment, they're not directed at any individual or group, there's nothing really to discipline or sack anyone over. If anyone complains then it's all part of a discourse and then complainers will have to justify why it's OK for fake-tit-bloke to wear his and not for knitted-willy-women to wear theirs, otherwise no disciplinary. Or if it's not OK then everyone takes off their pretend sex organs and all is sweetness and light once again. After all, we wont mind removing ours because we don't get off on wearing them.

(50% joking here, for the avoidance of doubt! I'd better not be talking anyone into this.)

I'd rather go down the eye roll route. Being laughed at might be part of their kink.

You can bet he knows that if the other staff and students openly laugh at him then that's wokplace bullying and harrassment. And they know it too.

Wouldn't it be great if all the students, and staff too, just laughed at him - every time. It would take away the craving this twat obviously has to shock people. I'd say the same applies to Grayson Perry.
