Does that not worry you? Are you that desperate to fit in/identify yourself as part of that group that you just parrot the same phrases/words over and over and over again?

Oh the irony.

It's not 'ideas above their station' though that people are taking issue with - it's 'ideas above other women'. "I am considerably more feminist than yaaoouu"

Bloody love Red Dwarf.

Slinks off.

Blackout blinds aw Sad we need people posting cute squirrels again, maybe some fluffy bunnies?

calpop · 05/10/2018 13:51

God how sad to see a bunch of women want to hide a womens rights/feminism topic.

WanderinWomb · 05/10/2018 13:52

Just backfromwine
I think I would call a transwoman by their chosen pro noun, but if asked outright if I thought they were a woman, would say no - because, well, they’re just not. They’re a transwoman. I genuinely wonder if that means stonewall for example would consider me transphobic.

Stonewall and Stop Funding Hate would absolutely have you as a transphobe, as would Verbeena and many others here. The trans agenda at the moment requires complete capitulation on this or to be accused of hate, bigotry, gaslighting, being doxxed, losing your position, threatened, questioned by police etc.

"Transphobia" is everything and nothing. Has become meaningless slur but yet all powerful.

It's fucking chilling.

StormTreader · 05/10/2018 13:54

How sad that a group of women feel they have to hide the entire topic because its become entirely trans threads, you mean? I agree.

Lichtie · 05/10/2018 13:55

Don't worry calpop, they only self ID as feminists 😉 but we respect that.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 13:58

Yeah, but move along, nothing at all to see here.

NotACleverName · 05/10/2018 14:01

Well done on highlighting why users choose to hide the topic, calpop. 👏🏻

VerbeenaBeeks · 05/10/2018 14:02

Yup, this threads the one that keeps on giving, proving the point perfectly the more they post.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 14:05

Come up with that answer yet Verbeena? Proving our point too.

VerbeenaBeeks · 05/10/2018 14:11

You say they're not women. There's no point, people on the thread have explained but you're so rigid in thinking it gets dismissed as baloney and nonsense. People are answering, you are literally incapable of seeing it though.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 14:13

No they haven't "explained". And it was directed to you. Why do you see them as women, and what did you mean by "fully transitioned"? You do realise that drawing any distinction is considered transphobic by transactivists?

peachgreen · 05/10/2018 14:15

It is very sad, @calpop, until you realise that the feminist board is no longer about feminism, by and large, and in fact what we're hiding is the rampant bigotry and transphobia. And don't tell us to report it to MNHQ and it'll be deleted - MNHQ's definition of transphobia is considerably different to mine. For whatever reason (as is their right) they have chosen to allow this particular faction of feminism to flourish here and in order to do so they have to be a lot softer on transphobia than the majority of forum moderators would be.

Repeatedly asking us to define "woman" doesn't help either because your answer - and the only answer you'll accept - is "an adult female" whereas mine is "a person who identifies and lives as a woman". Which you'll reject for being "circular". But regardless, it remains my definition.

The reason we're hiding the FWR board is because there is no debating there. There is just endless circular conversations, learned rhetoric, a lot of mutual self-congratulation and the occasional sock puppet deployed to stir up a bit of rage.

Spartacunt · 05/10/2018 14:15

This thread is like stepping back 50 years in time. Let's all laugh at the silly feminists trying to protect women's rights and post passive aggressive images of baby animals! Anyone would think there were a few TRAs popping in here to cheerlead.

Ereshkigal · 05/10/2018 14:17

until you realise that the feminist board is no longer about feminism

That's an odd opinion. I guess you think women who care about their own rights and those of other women aren't feminists.

YY.

Good for you. Still circular though.

VerbeenaBeeks · 05/10/2018 14:20

Bingo!!! Here we go. TRAs no, normal WOMEN!! You are spectacularly proving right the damn reason it gets hidden. Normal women being told they must be men or TRAs if they don't agree with you.

peachgreen · 05/10/2018 14:21

I guess you think women who care about their own rights and those of other women aren't feminists.

I care about the rights of other women, and for me, that includes transwomen. Again, I have my own concerns about self-ID and how it could impact on both born and transwomen. But my feminism includes transwomen and always will.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 05/10/2018 14:22

Gosh, what a lot of fuss some people make about nothing.

If you don't like it, just hide it. I hate Christmas, so I hide the Christmas forum, I don't write a whole thread about how other people like talking about Christmas.

Or be robust enough to go on there and give your opinion, it's an anonymous online forum, no one is going to shout at you or hit you. Yes, people might vehemently disagree with you, but so what? You don't have to cry about it. Yes, some people take stuff too far there, others don't take it far enough, some are polite, some are assholes. That's kind of how the world is everywhere.

Elephantinacravat · 05/10/2018 14:22

You say they're not women. There's no point, people on the thread have explained but you're so rigid in thinking it gets dismissed as baloney and nonsense. People are answering, you are literally incapable of seeing it though.

You say 'transwomen are women and anyone who doesn't think so is transphobic' but you won't give a definition of what 'women' is in order to explain how your assertion is true.

Instead you have just avoided the question and posted things about how uncomfortable you would feel if you somehow suddenly found yourselves with male genitals.

Im afraid you are going to have to shit or get off the pot.

The more you avoid the question the more it just looks like you don't know what you are talking about.
