Today feels like a good day what with the Linda Bellos and Venice Allan court case result and now JHB telling Steve Allen where to shove his 'cis' crap.
Datun I found it amusing watching the changes in his face during that exchange:
SA Smug Lecturing Face: Here let me mansplain and tell you that women can be violent against other women in prison and I'll just use this made up term to define woman for you one that puts women in a sub class....
SA Confused Face: Um hang on a minute, let me just mansplain again what that made up term means and how I am going to use it to put women in a sub class..
SA Even More Confused Face now Tinged with Shock: A woman is saying No to being re defined and reclassified, um, that's not supposed to happen....
SA Shocked and Patronising Face: I know, I'll try another redefinition to make her understand that she is a sub class of woman because I say so and she really must comply with my choice of language to describe her....
SA Really Shocked and Really Confused Face: What? What's going on she's really serious, she really means no, what, what, that can't be right, she's not accepting me choosing what to define her as, what, what's this, this can't be happening, she's not going to agree.....this isn't how it's meant to be....what am I going to do now, this word no from a woman just isn't computing......
As you say, a man who can't hear the word NO from a woman and accept that women, and only women, have the right to define themselves and the language they use to describe themselves is a man who shouldn't be allowed within a million miles of any woman.
