The enemy is a backlash to women’s progress which has seen misogyny promoted by some of the most powerful men in the world.
I think we can all agree with the misogyny. But I'm not sure how promoting trans rights will help with that, as the proposed changes to the GRC affect such a minority that we shouldn't be fussed about it affecting women's rights in any way, so it's hardly going to stick it to The Man by its own logic.
The enemy is narrow gender norms which limit our children’s expectations and lead to bullying and abuse of anyone who’s seen as different.
So why the jiggery fuck are we expecting them to conform to the "opposite" gender? Why is it SO important that trans people need to be recognised as the opposite gender - so important that they'll fight so hard for it. Why can't they join us in agreeing that the fucking gender thing is oppressive TO EVERYONE and if we all didn't conform then everyone would be happier?
I want to see an inclusive feminism which brings women together rather than dividing us. A feminism that recognises our shared challenges while valuing our differences. A feminism that understands that gender is a complex and deeply personal thing, and is about so much more than outdated ideas of biology.
I mean - "outdated ideas of biology"
Someone wrote this, someone sense-checked it - several someones. And none of them thought err... not sure about that phrase, Leanne.
As a working class woman, it’s important to me too that feminism recognises that some women face multiple oppressions due to their class, race, disability or gender identity and that all of these need to be tackled.
Fucking YES. So why are we trying to enshrine stuff in law that makes a hierarchy of need amongst these groups? Supportive does not = saying yes to everything if it disadvantages others.
