Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

If 'Woman' is redefined to mean 'feminine' or 'a feeling' what should we do?

Please don't think I'm being defeatist or a downer regarding all the great work being done to protect sex-based needs for women.

However, I find myself wanting to plan for what to do if we lose this. If 'woman' becomes legally defined as how you look or feel, and sex is taken out of it totally.

Some ideas I have had are:

  • Use 'female' instead of woman? Campaign for the inclusion of 'female' in legislation?
  • Openly and publicly demonstrate against females having to be feminine?
  • Provide advice about what to do if you are targeted by a predatory male in a female space?
  • Set up new spaces somehow?
  • Set up support for victims of assault in this context?
  • Grassroots organisations similar to the 60s?

We can always hope for the best but it might be good to plan for the worst and how we will move forward?

homosexuality is pretty pointless in an age of gender (and be blind to biology). hard to understand, why many (clearly not all) gays and lesbians go along with it.

One of the things they are doing, as we chat, is erasing "bisexual" and replacing it with "pansexual". I can assure you that there are no kitchen stovetop containers involved in my sexuality.

Oh, the madness. Given that the word 'pan' means all encompassing, that should include children, too, no?

It does really worry me about all the safe guarding that is being thrown away and the children being brain washed with this shit.

Sex strike?
Refuse to allow our daughters to go into any organisation (eg schools) that has thrown safeguarding out of the window?

Essentially it'll be up to individuals to safeguard themselves and their own.

Now that would cause havoc.
Somone on one of the threads here had talked about withdrawing unpaid labour. This though is great- if you could get enough people on board. Would be murder for schools to cope with if you had an organised day off in protest or even just stay home in protest. Guides don’t go until they clarify and tell the kids why too. Brownies don’t go-stop syns for unions, political parties, anything big that is anathema organisation that are on board with this madness have an organised publicised day or week of boycott action. Funds are where it hurts. And the press love a bloody strike.

Syns for unions? Sorry that should say subs! (I have slimming world on the brain!)

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 12/09/2018 21:40

Anathema organisation ?!?! Should say a large organisation. Take no notice I can’t type after 8pm.

Really women everywhere should just refuse to engage with men full stop until male violence and their entitled attitude stops. Let's face it, things are getting worse, not better.
