To be absolutely disgusted by this?

I'm so angry. I get that people want to have equal rights but this is not equality. It is the eradication of the rights of "women" in order to appease the minority.

To be absolutely disgusted by this?

Back to the days of Man and wife, Man of the house and Mankind.

So are biological females now referred to as cis non men on Twitter? Madness.

For all the gullible idiots saying it’s not a Mens’ rights movement - we told you, you didn’t listen. Now here we are.

^^^ absolutely this, I'm too angry to be able to think of anything to say.
Thank you BorgQueen

So a man is a default human.

As women, we are a non default human.

Jesus Christ.

I feel like we are living in an era where 1984's Thoughtcrime meets The Emperor's New Clothes.

Who’s the 1% that thinks you are being unreasonable!

you absolutely are not. I just despair that everyone is bending over backwards to such a small group of people, who at the end of the day were born male or female and then CHOSE to change( ok I agree that they maybe in the wrong body, and felt they had little choice, but they were born male or female)

Why do they think it’s acceptable to eradicate women

Mummy08m · 12/06/2023 18:18

Also just logically, a non-man is something/someone who is not a man... so children, animals etc. A pet dog is a non-man.

They're just garbling words now

Yabu as you clearly haven’t read it properly or are purposely misrepresenting the context

This is Mn so money is on the latter

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 12/06/2023 18:20

Come on then the 2% who have voted YABU. What reasoning are you following?? I bet you don't have the guts to tell us why it's fucking unreasonable

7eleven · 12/06/2023 18:20

Bloody hell. If someone referred to me as a non-man I’d fucking punch them.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 12/06/2023 18:20

*reasonable 🙄 Angry typo

Because it’s so painfully taken out of context

This site is full of the gender critical but not those who can think critically

planthelpadvice · 12/06/2023 18:26

What is the wider context?

MsFenellaFielding · 12/06/2023 18:29

Absolutely ridiculous.

It’s there in the image

The definition of lesbian has been updated to include those who are non binary

Not that the definition of a woman has been updated

How is it taken out of context? At least defend it properly if you're going to say that

The context is that women are being described as non-men, while men are not being described as non-women. Making 'man' the default human identity.

Do you not find that problematic? Do you think that linguistic choice reflects a society in which men and women are considered to be, and valued as, equals?

You do know that ONLY women can be lesbians, right? And I do not include transwomen in that either.

Carryonkeepinggoing · 12/06/2023 18:02

We should complain that their website is discriminatory and that the definition for ´gay’ should start ´gay usually refers to non women who are attracted to non women’
Actually the whole concept of homosexuality falls apart at that point and the definitions both become meaningless. ‘Gay can also refer to persons of any gender who are attracted to other persons of any or no gender’. Or something.

This, homosexuality is no longer homosexuality is it? Because it no longer means male & male or female and female, so the term is no longer relevant is it?

This post has made me very sad and worried and I really think we need to do something. Is there any movement I can join? I really feel like I need to do something.

Well, come on, please do enlighten me as to the context in which it is okay to label half of humanity as 'non-men' (along with grass, coral reefs and the bloody moon)?

If you're so capable of critical thought and I .just witless barbarian.

@artichikeheart

Why are non-men specifically referred to but not non-women?

Devastateddaughter · 12/06/2023 18:37

Fucking speechless.

planthelpadvice · 12/06/2023 18:38

Ok, in that case could the definition not say women and non-binary people?

But men are still referred to as "men" not "non women" or "gay non-women" for the sake of the non binary....you still can't see the problem?

Babymamaroon · 12/06/2023 18:39

Disgusting is right.

We are WOMEN.
