I just totally read JUSTIFY YOURSELF in the Inquisitors voice Grin
"I give pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass!" Grin
Although I think we should take Dave Lister's answer to them when asked - "Spin on it!" lol
(Sorry, huge Red Dwarf fan here)

Justbackfromnewwine · 05/10/2018 12:35

I have to admit to finding the talk of ‘peak transing’ alienating too. It’s just not that black and white (to me)

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:36

Compassion is all one way though, isn't it? I don't care what you do. Hide threads/topics. There's no need to make a performance out of it.

RudeZebra · 05/10/2018 12:36

I used to play FWR bingo, however FWR roulette™️ is much more fun.

For those of you who don't hide the board it's an easy game. Simply wait for a poster to disagree with them about anything (double bonus points if the poster disagreeing actually is professionally involved in the subject matter) then pick your number. When the regulars eventually get round to calling the poster a man, stop the game. If you have predicted the number of posts correctly, it's a win.

FWR roulette™️ Fun for the whole family! Except your teenage boys when they realise there's a huge group of people prepared to blame them for the world's ills, just because what they have between their legs.

Djnoun · 05/10/2018 12:37

@VerbeenaBeeks yes! Love that episode. Sperms in law Grin

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:37

Yes we have bingo games too.

Djnoun · 05/10/2018 12:38

@Ereshkigal if you don't care then do us all a favour and stop banging on about it.

VerbeenaBeeks · 05/10/2018 12:40

Ha yes, sperms in law, great episode Grin

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:42

I don't care what you personally do. If you smear or insult me or other feminist women on MN I will respond. As anyone else would.

Elephantinacravat · 05/10/2018 12:44

No, I refuse to be bullied into another aggressive JUSTIFY YOURSELF mn trans debate.

Erm, sorry but if you are going to wade into the debate then 'justifying yourself' is exactly what you need to do. Its what debating actually means, backing up what you are saying, well at least when you are doing it with the grown ups anyway. You can't just say shit and then moan when people ask you to back up what you are saying!

Although I guess we are living in a world where apparently words are devoid of meaning, so......

RudeZebra · 05/10/2018 12:47

RudeZebra what a shame that you find the sight of women being supportive and positive about one another so risible

I have no problem with that. It's the sheer fucking arrogance about the collective intelligence of that board which irritates me. I have seen time and time again some of the most ludicrous and blatantly wrong advice passed off as a fact on that board, which a quick Google could have proved was clearly nonsense. For the "smartest" and most "intelligent" women in the world NO ONE challenges it. Because that poster was one of the group and it was more important to metaphorically kick the shit out of the interloper because he/she/they disagreed with feminists then it was to be factually accurate.

And that's intelligence? Too fucking right I'll take the piss.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:47

You can't just say shit and then moan when people ask you to back up what you are saying!

This. Although I think certain posters think they can say shit and sneer at other posters who actually can back their arguments up with facts and reasoning and no one should be able to challenge. That they should have a safe space to be nasty about other women. Strange.

Lallypopstick · 05/10/2018 12:48

RudeZebra was one of the bingo items the word "bloody?" If we did a word cloud that would be up there.

Djnoun · 05/10/2018 12:48

But no one wants to debate with you. That's the whole point of the thread. We're done with you because you don't want a discussion. You want indoctrination.

Justbackfromnewwine · 05/10/2018 12:48

To be fair, some of @ereshkigal ‘s posts were directly answering my questions so thank you for those. I take your point that we should continue debating on a Fem thread rather than here.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:49

I'm responding to your comments about women on FWR. And pointing out where you say things I believe to be untrue. As is my right.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:50

I'm always happy to discuss things reasonably and amicably as I said.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:52

Just, if you want to start a thread I will come and discuss with you.

VerbeenaBeeks · 05/10/2018 12:53

Any more cute animals or Red Dwarf quotes, anyone? Grin

NotACleverName · 05/10/2018 12:53

We're done with you because you don't want a discussion. You want indoctrination.

And once again, anyone who tries to put forward an alternative viewpoint is shouted down as a “dim handmaiden” or man. I saw it on one of the Ocado threads. If that’s the level of debate that’s accepted here then I’m out. Miss me with that bullshit. I’d rather debate the colour of the sky with my cat.

Djnoun · 05/10/2018 12:54

You can say whatever you like about how reasonable you are. It's obviously not the case. You've already thrown around several bizarre reductio ad absurdum accusations, which says everything we need to know about your ability to have a reasonable discussion.

Djnoun · 05/10/2018 12:56

I love Red Dwarf. My favourite is the Binks to Enlightenment part. Do you know it?

11 Int. Starbug rear section.

A crew member from the holoship appears in an adjoining room. The
Dwarfers walk in to investigate.

BINKS: (Walking around the Starbug) Binks to Enlightenment. Have arrived
on the derelict. Confirm initial speculation: there is absolutely
nothing of any value or intrigue here. It's one of the old class-2
ship-to-surface vessels -- the very model, in fact, that was withdrawn
due to major flight design flaws. Crew: 3. (Passes along the crew
members, who are now standing in line) One series-4000 mechanoid --
almost burnt out. Give it maybe three years. Nothing of salvageable
value. Ah, Felis Sapiens -- bred from the domestic house cat and about
half as smart. No value in future study of this species. What have we
here? A human being, or a very close approximation. Chronological
age: mid-20s, physical age: 47. Grossly overweight, unnecessarily
ugly, otherwise would recommend it for the museum. Apart from that of
no value or interest.

While BINKS is ending his spiel, LISTER searches his pockets for a
cigarette packet. He draws one cigarette out as an aerial and begins
imitating BINKS.

LISTER: Lister to Red Dwarf. We have in our midst a complete smeg pot.
Brains in the anal region. Chin absent -- presumed missing. Genitalia
small and inoffensive. Of no value or interest.
BINKS: Binks to Enlightenment. Evidence of primitive humour. The human
has knowledge of irony, satire, and imitation. With patient tuition
could maybe master simple tasks.
LISTER: Lister to Red Dwarf. Displays evidence of spoiling for a rumble.
Seems unable to grasp simple threats. With careful pummelling, could
possibly be sucking tomorrow's lunch through a straw.
BINKS: Binks to Enlightenment. The human is under the delusion that he
is somehow able to bestow physical violence to a hologram.
LISTER: Lister to Red Dwarf. The intruder seems to be blissfully unaware
that we have a rather sturdy holowhip in the munitions cabinet. Unless
he wants his derriere minced like burger meat, he'd better be history
in two seconds flat!

LISTER eats the cigarette, quickly removes his jacket, hat, and
waistcoat, and assumes a boxing stance.

BINKS: Binks to Enlightenment. Re-con mission complete, transmit. With
speed, Enlightenment, quickly please!

BINKS disappears just as LISTER throws his first punch.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 12:57

You need to say what these "reductio ad absurdum accusations" are so I can reply to that. Otherwise it's just more baseless smears, djnoun. And I will respond to those.

Elephantinacravat · 05/10/2018 12:58

But no one wants to debate with you. That's the whole point of the thread. We're done with you because you don't want a discussion. You want indoctrination.

Indoctrination? Oh the irony!

I am totally up for discussion. I have had a discussion with a particular poster on this thread who thinks anything other than believing transwomen are women is transphobia, but is unable to give a definition of woman. This is a basic starting point for the discussion. I want to discuss. I'm still here aren't I?
