There is patently nowhere near the slanging match on FWR that there is elsewhere.
What it means is that someone had to leave the thread they were on and then start another thread where they got an apology from one poster
They didn't have to do anything. From what I remember, most people would have misconstrued what the poster said, but only one poster said anything about it. As soon as she was corrected, I believe she said sorry on the same thread.
But I can promise you it was nothing like 'you pathetic bitch' to the poster on AIBU who wondered if raising children was easier in the old days.
And never would be.
And in terms of the linguist gymnastics Barracker was reduced to - she was commenting on a film on an American CNN programme. Where the names of the people were not made clear. But their sex, despite their gender presentation, was made abundantly clear.
The reality is you had a situation that was comedically being dominated by a male born individual, to the detriment of both a female born individual and a female child. The female child, happened to identify as male and the male born individual as female
The ludicrous of this situation and the transparent demonstration of power lies in the fact that no one can say what they see.
They can't identify misogyny, they can't identify sexism, they can't identify male dominance.
So if you think it's ok that women have to talk about humans in terms of eggs and sperm, and whether they would have body autonomy should they be humans who gestate, in order to identify their oppression, then you're part of it.
Try talking about racism if you're not allowed to mention the words black or white. Or if you do, they could apply equally to both white people and black people.
