It's not too bad, mostly because it's written by a wide variety of people.

One woman does think progress involces having unisex loos.

I can't think how any woman anywhere could think that is honestly the way forward in terms of making women safer. It just shows how much some people are thinking of Trabs Rights ahead of their own in some misguided attempt to be kind.

There's also this article on how women of colour should be better supported.

I don't disagree with that at all but it's obvious just how much TRA's have taken over intersectional feminism when you read something like this. It feels like it's obligatory that when discussing black feminism that the writer gets in the word cis and also bemoans how cruel the world is for trans sisters.

Honestly if I was black and working to change society I would be fuming about this. It's a good thing we tackle racism. Black women absolutely need more support but in their own right, not in a way that sees them being lumped in with a different minority group of narcissists

Hey thats not half bad!

Jo Brand is a Terf in my head, I wonder how true that is?

Well done to Jane Fae for not mentioning the t word and just talking about toxic masculinity

Lots of comments on male violence 👍

Sofie Hagen commented on social media not taking threats against women seriously

Trans is actually only mentioned once, and LGBTQIABCDEFG once. Personally I like that more than one person commented on disabled women frequently being an afterthought

Shame that not one single person mentioned lesbians though. Apart from the above reference to the alphabet soup.

It's funny, in a bitter sort of way, how much of a tell the use of "gender" rather than sex or sexism or women is for a toothless kind of feminism that's destined to accomplish absolutely nothing.

This one was interesting in that we can't have one of these without the other, and that's something that the kind of people babbling about gender fundamentally fail to recognize.

I would like for girls and women to be free from violence and sex-role stereotypes, and to be treated as equal human beings in all aspects of life. I would like heterosexual male desire to be displaced as the dominant mode of human sexual and social interaction.
