Wanted to share this excellent article ( written by a man ) I just saw on Twitter. It's pretty long and for many of us isn't saying anything new, but it's worth a read as it makes some good points.

Crikey, that's a spectacular article.

NoRunAround · 28/03/2018 13:05

Wow - it's really rather good. Best I've read.

MrsWooster · 28/03/2018 13:12

That is a very good article. If the author is really really in his 20s then it's a name watch out for.

Cooroo · 28/03/2018 13:19

That pretty much covers everything- may risk posting it on Facebook if I'm feeling brave.

mimivanne · 28/03/2018 13:19

Very good indeed,succint and heartening

Kneedeepinunicorns · 28/03/2018 13:21

That's so clearly and succinctly explained. Excellent article, thank you for sharing. I'm not on twitter but hope that gets sent to Brian Paddick, Stella Creasey and everyone else currently starting to wonder about the facts of all this.

Excellent article.

Applauds that dude!

He has certainly been reading Rad Fem literature, and I would say MN too. Good to know.

Thanks Tom Farr, if you are reading, and I will be on the look out for more of your articles

Have I just read a comprehensive, critically thought out and well written article with no hysterical language and a decent grasp on discrimination against women, the GRA and feminism? With a cogent analysis of the societal implications?

I believe I have. My goodness. So heartening to see not every twenty something has drunk the kool aid. What a well argued piece. 👍

This needs to be more widely read. I think It would need to be shortened somewhat for general tabloid press consumption, but this needs to be on op ed side bars instead of the usual TRA appeasing crap.

Well done Tom Farr. Never heard of you but I shall keep an eye out for your work.

Melamin · 28/03/2018 13:45

It covers everything.

It is long and complicated, but the whole business is long and complicated and it is hard to make sense of what is going on if you do not watch it every day and keep up. This is a good resume.

SmurfOrTerf · 28/03/2018 13:46

Excellent article, thanks for the link

SkunkButtRug · 28/03/2018 13:59

Delurking.
That was frigging marvellous. Clear, concise, well reasoned. Well done Tom Farr. One to watch.

Brilliant article. Thank you tom.

UrsulaPandress · 28/03/2018 14:00

Fabulous.

QuickBetterNameChange · 28/03/2018 14:04

Excellent article. I especially liked this bit which kind of sums up my feelings about politics at the moment:

"Comparing the political spectrum to a horseshoe seems strikingly accurate — the left are becoming the right, and everybody is covered in shit."

TerfsUp · 28/03/2018 14:11

Brilliant article. Thanks for sharing it.

Datun · 28/03/2018 14:12

Excellent.

A brief primer may be necessary here: One of the main tenets of radical feminism is that female biology is the root cause of their oppression, not “gender”.

This is the key to so much of it. Not understanding why and how women are disadvantaged. And by whom.

There often seems to be a reluctance to overtly name men as the oppressors of women.

People talk generally about women's disadvantage, marginalisation, oppression, and then sometimes falter at the last hurdle by being unable to say by men, men like you.

Presumably, because, as we all know, it triggers a frenzied bout of namalting.

So sometimes that last part of the sentence is left hanging.

And now, of course, those men have eliminated the language with which to identify them, so it's even harder.

Which is why I refuse to be called cis, and I will say someone is a man, even if I'm not allowed to misgender them, I will still state the fact.

Excellent article though. Does anyone know who this person is?

DarthArts · 28/03/2018 14:22

That’s really nicely written.

Thanks for sharing this, it's a fantastic article.

Great stuff. I will forward it to friends.

Gosh, that's the best one I've read I think!

IntelligentYetIndecisive · 28/03/2018 15:00

Brilliant article articulating stuff I've had trouble explaining even to myself.
