To be angry that Scarlet Blake is being called a woman.

[ArabellaScott]

Scarlet Blake has been found guilty of murder. He also tortured and killed a cat.

He is not a woman.

This shouldn't be reported as a woman's crime.

Scarlet is microchipped as part of his cat identity.

I mean this man got himself microchipped. That's dedication.

Oooh I used to wear red lipstick! Am I a proper ladybrainwoman? I did also once try to have a view on the gold standard and that went horribly wrong (thank you PP for the Harry Enfield memory!)

I think someone is probably getting off on making us so angry.

But, sunlight.

In a way it's good Erin has come on here to show what these men really think about women and our rights.

When a person shows you who they are believe them.

This is why accurate reporting of sex is needed.

If Erin really believes they have a woman's brain it shows how deluded they are. And dangerous. They should not be any where near women in single sex spaces.

We are now living in a society that bases legislation, journalistic reporting and women’s safety on the whims and feelings of men, even horrifically violent and sadistic men. How the fuck did we get here?

A man feels like a women, so all of us including private organisations, public institutions, the judiciary, the press, MPs and the police have to put women’s safety at risk and change laws and accepted norms in order not to offend. nobody gives a fuck about women - we are acceptable collateral damage…mens feelings are worth far more.

You cannot base the laws of a functioning society on feelings.

In the words of Magdalen: ‘Fuck this shit’

As I've said before nothing, ever has shown to me how little women's rights and feelings count than this movement.

We got here via the GRA

The legislation underpins where we stand nae fucker is ready to admit it

The media doesn’t have to lie. My paper didn’t.

We got here from some misogynist doctors deciding women were to be mere therapeutic tools for distressed men and sending them out to use women's spaces without fucking asking. Then it got enshrined in law. But none of it was ever enough and they kept taking and taking and now we've got huge swathes of young autistic women chopping their breasts off and screwing themselves over with cross-sex hormones in order to serve the delusions of these "distressed" men.

In essence.

I second this.

It's quite something to realise it.

In particular, all those lefty men who I thought were ok. I've now realised were only ever pro women because it was politically expedient

We got here because abusive paedophile John Money invented the concept of 'gender identity'.

Let's not underplay the role of many useful idiots cheering this on because 'be kind'

Yes. I was rather oversimplifying. I think I've just been thinking about the doctors' decision to be like "on you go, you'll feel much better if you use women's toilets" recently.

In fairness, there are many, many strands.

Lets not even get started on the Pritzkers

And there's that willingness in people who want to view themselves as clever and scientific to go along with "oooooo sex is soo oooo complicated dontchaknow" because it makes them feel smart.

CLOWN FISH!

Being a woman is related to ones internal sense-of-self. It's how we feel about ourselves and unique to all of us. Having ovaries doesn't make you judge and jury over anyones sense-of-self

No, it’s really not. Being a woman is being a female adult human being. I have a sense of self, yes, but the ‘I’m a woman’ part is based on fact, just like the ‘I’m a human being’ part. And some women don’t have ovaries, eg after a hysterectomy, but they’re still women - because they’re female.

BTW, men can wear make up too. Women are not a collection of stereotypes or sex dolls with red lips.

Why does this just apply to 'being a woman' though?

What if my 'sense of self' tells me I'm African American or a cat or blind or 70 years old?

If material reality doesn't matter in being a woman, why does it matter for everything else?

And to bring it back to Scarlet Blake, he also has a cat identity. Cats can't go to prison though.

Aye. And a cattery would probably be too nice for him.

Being a woman is related to ones internal sense-of-self.

was this supposed to be an answer as to what differentiates men and women? So a woman is a person of either sex with an internal sense of self, and a man is a person with no internal sense of self?

Or are you still using man/woman as essentially both meaning "person"?

I'm still baffled anyone brings up dolls' houses as being related to what makes you male or female. Literally nothing reassures me that I'm on the right side of history as when I read that total bullshit.

Actually, perhaps the "all men's brains are like this and women's brains are like THAT" stuff as well. We all know you have psychological traits in mind when you talk about this, and that you're too embarrassed to actually name any.

We looked into getting prison cats (we have a rodent problem). Consensus was, the cats wouldn't tolerate the conditions and would go and find nice people to live with...

Did you genuinely think anyone was claiming this, or is it a deliberate straw man?
