We're not all one homogeneous same thinking mass you do realise.

Bloody hell petrol how can you say this and then in the next breath claim that there is such a think as "feeling like a woman"? We know that women don't all feel and think the same, that's why the idea that we're all connected by a magic woman-feeling is so offensive!

And since you're back, I'll ask my question again:

You're in a restaurant and you see a young girl go into the female toilet, closely followed by a someone who is clearly physically male. Do you:
a) alert a member of staff/ go and check if the girl is OK.
b) do nothing and assume the clearly physically male person is just using the correct facilities for their gender identity.
c) I wouldn't even notice as there's no such thing as being "clearly physically male". It's impossible to tell men and women apart without a karyotype test/ inspecting their genitals.

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz according to google:
las mujeres no tienen penes

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/07/2019 12:07

Much obliged Smile

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:13

French:
les femmes n'ont pas de pénis

Italian:
le donne non hanno peni

Polish:
kobiety nie mają penisów

German:
Frauen haben keinen Penis

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:16

Latin:
mulieribus nolite mentulas

Just because on the Latin Grin

I think Peabody just came up with the perfect text for our new FWR flag!

QuietlyLurkingintheCorner · 12/07/2019 12:21

Just delurking to say how much I've enjoyed this thread. It's cheered me up and reminded me of why I lurk here so often. And oh, the hilarity of someone coming on the FWR board and telling all you wonderful erudite women to Google feminism Grin

I'm off to find a fiver to write on...

SophoclesTheFox · 12/07/2019 12:25

Still working my way through the thread, but got stuck here: if transwomen are to be treated like women in all circumstances, and the goal of feminism is equality, then I am now thinking that a priority for feminism should be bringing Equal Pay claims on behalf of transwomen to get their pay reduced to be in line with other women’s pay?

Using the arguments brought to this thread, I can’t honestly see where that logic fails. Seems a bit of a weird conclusion to get though, no? But both goals would be achieved.

Makes a person think about unintended consequences, really.

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:26

I'm going to insert my fiver into the self service machine in Asda later today or tomorrow.

I will be disappointed not to get a message on a bank note over the coming weeks!

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:30

Maybe the divers need their own thread.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 12/07/2019 12:31

Māori

Kaore nga wahine e whai pene

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:31

So we can post when we get one. I'll be marking all my notes with the female V symbol from now on. Time to change to a cash system instead of carding everything.

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:31

Divers? Fivers!

Grimbles · 12/07/2019 12:37

Maybe we need code numbers or initials so we can tell if we get one of 'our' fivers Grin

Grimbles · 12/07/2019 12:38

Maybe I should read all the comments properly too!

las mujeres no tienen penes

You don't need the s on the end of pene unless you're going to say something specific about the penises.

Ereshkigal · 12/07/2019 12:42

Portuguese

as mulheres não têm pênis

Ereshkigal · 12/07/2019 12:45

I even found an article about Angelos Sofocleous getting sacked from the uni humanist org in Portuguese to check I had the accents right Grin

AlessandraAsteriti · 12/07/2019 12:47

Le donne non hanno il pene is better. If they had told me in 2019 I would have to argue with misogynist wankers about this I would not have believed it. Women have no dicks; men are dicks pretty much sums up the whole sorry mess.

DtPeabodysLoosePants · 12/07/2019 12:57

@Grimbles I've marked mine DtP. I'd love one of you to find it!

East Timorese: Feto nia isin la iha lasan

terfsandwich · 12/07/2019 13:01

I've written that as "women's bodies don't have penises" just for clarity. So not bobbited or holding a jar with Rasputin's willy etc.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/07/2019 13:07

I'll do a wee spaceship on mine. Which feels appropriate as the need to even say this is other-worldly Confused

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 12/07/2019 13:08

I really really really hope Petrol gets one at some point it would be such a lovely gift.
