Women are now womb carriers

[Callingoccupants]

Women are being attacked, again. A long standing publishing company, Verso Books, has decided women should be referred to as womb carriers. Can it get any worse? Will try and provide a link.

I'm pretty sure that men want to keep the title of "men" or "man" or "male" which explains why they not being referred to as simply testicle carriers. It wouldn't fly.
But women are expected to put up with this crap? It's beyond a joke.

Seeing as women bang on about the sanctity of their uteruses and their wonderful life-giving fecundity and how their purpose in life is to bring forth a child, earth mother bs etc. etc. It's hardly surprising they're being reduced to their wombs.Can't have it both ways, transphobes. Either your cervix is defining or not.

So it is ok to refer to a marginalised group such as Native American and First Nation women as body parts? Wow, you really don't like women do you?

So women are now referred to an anatomical part so as not to offended the perpetually offended minority?!?! Well I’m a woman and I’m offended. This is disgusting.

Women can be defined as people with a biological cervix

But women are more than just that part of their biology - it's the PEOPLE part that's relevant most of the time

We spend generations trying to persuade society to recognise the people part and here we have others suggesting that if women want to be recognised a women they have to forgo the people part and just be a thing with a cervix

Well said 👏🏼👏🏼

The whole point of feminism was to stop us being reduced to being body parts which makes language like this so depressing.

I'm all for inclusion, i really have no issue with it. But i do have a problem with the word woman being excised. I would have a problem with the word man being excised too, but i just don't see that happen (it is possible i am not looking in the right places, that's not my fight)

What every woman does this?
Even those that can't or don't want children?

Be careful the mask slipped and your misogyny is on full display here.

This infuriates me. Disgusting misogyny.

The blog piece being quoted is about abortions so although you might not like it, it is accurate.

Found the misogynist.

My cervix doesn’t define. I am a woman. It’s in my DNA, my chromosomes. You can chop off my breasts, remove my womb, and I will still be a woman.

Seeing as women bang on about the sanctity of their uteruses and their wonderful life-giving fecundity and how their purpose in life is to bring forth a child, earth mother bs etc.

C'mon now, you can do better than this piece of reductive nonsense.

I can get on board with it actually, so long as the term male becomes obsolete in favour of 'dick possessors'.

The blog piece being quoted is about abortions so although you might not like it, it is accurate.

eh? The entirety of my point is that the word woman exists. And that if we are going to be inclusive we can say "women and other people with wombs" (or ... and other people who have abortions or.... and other people who have periods)

it is downright stupid, dangerous and idiotic to ignore the word woman. It puts people's health at risk. (people with learning difficulties, or who don't speak English well or whatever) The idea is to be MORE INCLUSIVE.

Around 50% of the population are women. A percentage (that i have no idea about) is trans. It is not 50% though. So why not include the word that describes the majority, and then include the minority too? That is what inclusion is about.

i re-read the whole thread again @driedgrassinavase what blogpost are you talking about?

You do know what this thread is about, right?

Tell me you're a misogynist without telling me you're a misogynist!

The fuck are you talking about? Misogynistic rubbish.

Sperm sacks?

Sperm sacks?

I like that one 😆

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g thanks

@Callingoccupants Bit much to call me ridiculous. I didn’t deny it had happened, I asked to see more info before commenting: you provided a daily Mail link and I simply said I wasn’t clicking that!

But I'm not carrying a womb... it's part of me like all my other organs. Will they call all humans skin walkers? Hair growers? Tit Havers? 😂😂

Well said.
