I am S p a r t a c u s

[PermissionToSpeakSir]

I am a woman.

I was a girl.

I am an adult human female.

Something a man can never be.

I am a woman.

People refer to me has her and she.

Sometimes said with deep contempt and misogyny.

I am a woman.

Something a male will never be.

I have a vagina and uterus.

I menstruate and have given birth.

I am a mother.

Something a male will never be.

I have been insulted, assaulted, belittled, dismissed, held back, intimidated, stereotyped, terrorised, mocked, shamed, humiliated because I am a woman.

Something a male can never be.

I feel insulted, appropriated, offended, anxious, tense, depressed, hurt and under siege, when a male claims to be a woman or anyone says a male can be female.

It is not civil or respectful to treat me this way.

I am a woman.

I am Spartacus.

Hi @GhostTess

Please don't waste your time reading the whole thread, it's insanity here.

I appreciate what you are writing and many others will to, unfortunately feminist is a misleading term appropriated here is so very much not reflective of women, feminism and other humans.

(You will now see attacks on me to follow! I was threatened with something that didn't make sense and called names because I wasn't clear if "yeah no but of course" meant yes or no. I also pointed out the problematic choice of Spartacus, no one here sees the irony).

Come join on one of the many other threads, you are very welcome!

someone who is a child physically may be an adult legally

Excuse me? Please don't walk this path. There is zero tolerance for this kind of mindset here.

The definition might need to be changed to become more precise.

True. Or perhaps less precise?

If the definition of child becomes “anyone with a playful attitude who doesn’t have a job” and is preferably under 5 foot tall that could work. Or we could go with “anyone who feels like a child in their heart”. That way I can get half price rail travel. Winner!

Dick = bloke
Ah thang oo

@MyRelationshipIsWeird

You got me, as I said I'm not a linguist. But my logic was that the addition of one word or definition doesn't remove another. Not that antonyms could become sysnonyms

Your logical fallacy is straw man

Oh dear

Hi @LuMarie

Thanks for the kind words. I'm aware of all that. And I certainly shall.

Antonym cannot become synonym.

Man cannot become woman.

@pratty

That's why definitions can need updating. So that what you indicate is just as illegal and wrong today as it ought to be then.

ffs, Ghost, rtft.

You've been told half a dozen times by now.

STOP USING THE FUCKING @ - IT'S RUDE.

Also pot meet kettle.

Luckily it’s not Pratchet getting all the notifications, but some poor sod called Pratty will be cursing if their phone isn’t on silent tonight

@MyRelationshipIsWeird

I'll leave you to play with your straw man. I don't know why you'd want to though. Straw is very scratchy.

Ghost: my posts were in very simple language. The simplest. Which words in my posts do you not understand? Because you are simply repeating what you said an hour ago. Would it help if you looked up the meaning of 'meaning' in a dictionary?

Straw is very scratchy.

Bloody awful when you have an itch you can't scratch innit?

I certainly don't want my phone buzzing when I'm busy pushing water uphill here

Huh, Maryz,

one person asked me not to use it in relation to them cause they were going to bed and I haven't since. But if it's rude I'll stop. Sorry

There you have it then.

Woman = tender and strong. Fuck sake.

I'm hoping that the running shoes have been put on. Keep them to hand, Ghost, for any future conversations about meaning and fallacy. Goodnight

To Besmirchingmotherhood

And many other things besides, as I said. I don't have a full definition that I agree with.

I had to look up definition in the dictionary just to check I hadn’t missed something

It’s mind melting this stuff, going round in circles not getting any closer to the definition of woman.

If it’s about being tender then we’re all fucked!

Ladies, ladies, ladies
Don’t you think this has all got a little out of hand?
Come on now, stop being sillypops and get up the wooden hill to blanket land.
You’ve got a busy day ahead tomorrow (today)
You know all this overthinking is bad for your brain.
Kittens and butterflies, that’s the stuff

I always found Alice in wonderland sinister R0wan. That pic made me go
