Ftm activist offended they are no longer a woman

[Amalfimamma]

For all the Spartacuses. Have a laugh on me

here

[LassWiTheDelicateAir]

When I talked to women about this article, a complaint that we talked about most often was that the phrase “women are half the world’s population” was problematic simply because it lumped all women together – as if their issues were universal, and their experiences largely the same

It really isn't saying that-all it is saying is roughly 50% of the world's population has xx chromosomes.

I did say in the OP that it was for a laugh.


Or am I the only one who equals laugh with EF ?

[grumpyfeminist]

I could laugh about it if I didn't think young women looking for answers about the shit hand they've been dealt weren't landing on it from google.

[RufusTheSpartacusReindeer]

Aahhh love

I was joking...thats why i put the at the end

[RufusTheSpartacusReindeer]

Dont be annoyed with me amal

I know petal. Otherwise I'd have told you to fuck off.

as I have a mtf on twitter who says the Pope can't dictate if she aborts or not 🙂

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

It's not funny thoigh. It's blood pressure raising.

[Amalfimamma]

rufus swear to God. When I saw it I had to read it a few times because I thought I'd gone mad.

Then my fottosofatfosm to them was liberating 😂

[shinynewusername]

I second Datun. You've got to submit that to EF, seek. What's the point of having a satire superpower, if you don't use it for evil?

[RufusTheSpartacusReindeer]

The pope may not be able to dictate that

But his boss sure can

[ErrolTheDragon]

Logically correct though...No power in heaven or earth can dictate that... short of an actual miracle to create the prerequisite condition. Which presumably wasn't the intended point.

[DeviTheGaelet]

Everyday feminism is batshit. I can't even understand half of it. I have to kind of squint with my brain to get it to make sense.

[Geretrude]

Blueisnotforglue - shit that's awful! Have you spoken to the school?

EF = everyday mansplaining. Honestly, if you look at their articles, 99% of them are about trans or intersex people. Poor intersex people, being co-opted onto the trans juggernaut

[titchy]

Male privilege. The gift that keeps on giving...

[Shallishanti]

submit yes!!
pleeeease!!
maybe change a few words in case they have some plagiarising type software

[Mrsfrumble]

It's just so much quibbling over semantics, isn't it?

It's an indisputable fact that 50 % of the world's population is born with a vagina. And shouldn't be discriminated against because of it.

That's all there's is to it, isn't there?

And don't get me started on being "assigned gender at birth". Once again, that's just a statement on which set of genitals an infant has. It's all the socially constructed crap that comes after that causes the problem. So why aren't people like the author of that godawful bollocks article fighting against said socially constructed crap, rather than just reinforcing it?

[Datun]

The pope may not be able to dictate that

But his boss sure can

[AmeliaJack]

You see what I find interesting is that nowhere in that article did the author take the opposite tack that "men aren't 50%" of the population either.

Nowhere did he say that men's conversations about themselves need to be shut down and subject to newspeak.

Just womens'.

But he's a feminist apparently.

?

[Datun]

Seek

It's so ripe for the plucking. Pluck 'em.

[Prawnofthepatriarchy]

I couldn't read past the first few paragraphs. Skimmed down, spotted several buzz words, cisnormative being one of them, 2legit, and started to lose the will to live. Great parody, Seek.

Can't believe that about your daughter, Blueisnot. I'd be wild if it was me.

[SeekEveryEveryKnownHidingPlace]

Glad people smiled! Tempting as it would be, I can't be trolling EF - but as Grumpy says above, it's very worrying that this is what young girls will find out there if they're trying to read more about feminism

[Whichoneofyoudidthat]

I hate to be pedantic but aren't women 51% of the world's population?

[slug]

Yes, Whichoneofyoudidthat, but you have to realise that the only women that count, the best women, the real women are the ones that were born with a penis. /s

[Amalfimamma]

Whichoneofyoudidthat

You'll be called a transphobe for that comment. 51% of the worlds population is actually made up of mentruaters

We can't call men ejaculators either, they should be called inseminators because apparently women can ejaculate as well now the world according to dickheads on twitter
