Are feminists getting played?

[Maniak]

It makes me sad that feminists are spending so much time banging on about bathrooms in a world that has women still working for no pay, old women still more likely to be poor, surrogacy, underfunded maternity care, and poor support for carers. And other stuff.

Yes, the trans thing is annoying, but have you noticed how it always fires up before major elections? It's like Afghanistan in the 80s when the US provided just enough weapons to keep the war going so Russia would use all it's energy and get weak.

I feel like feminism is getting distracted with the trans stuff. At most, it should take up 10 percent of our feminist attention. But I rarely see feminism these days that isn't all about trans. Seriously. Do you think we're getting played here? Is trans really such a big deal?

There is something very wrong with your outlook if you think women are gleeful about the erasure of their sex.

I do think the response to OP's posts being deleted was pretty gleeful and that's exactly what bothered me.

^So, to use the language of Kiwifarms, OP was just red pilled.

Pink pilled, if you please.

Okay now I've made a mess, coffee everywhere! That was gold! 🤣^

That was what bothered you - that we had a laugh about it?

Seriously?

Listen, we take our laughs wherever and whenever we can on here. They're in pretty thin supply sometimes.

so what if people display a certain shadenfreude about being proved right?

the point is that they're right

it was a GC poster gleefully making a point

What a complete load of shit

When ‘bless’ and fucking ‘yawn’ are deleted on ONE BOARD and one board only

Then like fuck is it someone gleefully making a point

Have you got anything to say about the fact that using the correct pronouns for a person's sex gets you deleted here Cohle ? as opposed to just not liking people's attitudes?

Oh, so you ignored the posts from Datun and myself saying we weren't remotely happy about being right, and you want to tell off other women for being insufficiently sober? I think you're really rather inconsistent in your standards for women's behaviour on FWR.

It's an expression that gives one grim satisfaction that the unaware, are now aware.

Because it's incredibly important that people understand exactly what's at stake here.

Your fixation on the women's reaction to actually being correct is weird.

This isn't a bloody game. People are frightened of speaking out lest they lose their livelihood, relationships and family members.

I hope you now go away and tell people quite how vehemently women's language is policed.

What is interesting is why anyone thought it wouldn't happen

Yup

That was what bothered you - that we had a laugh about it

If you cant laugh you’d cry

@PCohle What exactlyis your point here, please?

Cohle

Okay I wasn't laughing about the fact that she got reported/deleted - not at all! She did choose to use language that is not acceptable according to set guidelines - we're all responsible for our choices even not reading talk guidelines prior to posting. It's pretty simple really, I don't personally agree with the guidelines but I don't write them I just adhere to them so I don't get deleted.

I WAS laughing about the reference to The Matrix and KF - and I agree with the sentiment (i.e. red pill/blue pill) in relation to TRAs.

Whatever, IDGAF as I don't have any interest in elementary games. Say whatever garbage you will, I'm going to pull weeds in my garden.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Which people is it who want to police and control what women do and say?

Anyone got an answer to that question?

We laughed because it was funny.

What's that Margaret Atwood quote?

I do think the response to OP's posts being deleted was pretty gleeful and that's exactly what bothered me.

Huh? That's what bothered you?

Not that the OP was deleted, but that other women dared to find some element of humour in the bizarre situation that we cannot correctly sex men any more because TRAs are all sitting there 24/7 monitoring everything we type?

Yeah, right, that's the problem.

Gleeful. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Deary fucking me.

WOMAN! YOU SHOWED INAPPROPRIATE HUMOUR! CLEAR INDICATION OF GUILT!

I shall report to the ducking stool immediately.

I've been glitter pilled!

Shine on you crazy diamond. Am going to pull weeds in my garden

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fucking awesome stoptheplanet

This is the famous quote from Margaret Attwood

WOMAN! YOU SHOWED INAPPROPRIATE HUMOUR! CLEAR INDICATION OF GUILT!

I'm not even sure what we're supposed to be guilty of.

I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong and, um this is just a wild stab in the dark, that we are overwhelmingly guilty of being right.

I don't give a shit where people chose to find humour. I was responding to a poster who accused me of having something was "wrong with my outlook" if I thought posters were being gleeful, when quite patently they were - as they have now acknowledged.

MN's policies are clear and we all agree to be bound by them when we post here. It's
clearly, perfectly possible to express GC viewpoints here without falling foul of those policies.

Never has the expression cat's bum face been so thoroughly invoked.

Because was it hell a TRA trying to silence debate, it was a GC poster gleefully making a point

This is what you said

You did not say that women were being gleeful about the deletions

You were insinuating that A GC poster GLEEFULLY reported the posts...as opposed to any random on the internet

Not the same thing at all

I thought Cohle was saying it was Datun wotdunnit. Then I got confused when I am apparently the gleeful one so I thought she was saying it was me wotdunnit. With the lead piping. In the library. Or something. But no. It's guilty after the fact. Is it? I think it is. But I'm easily confused.

I wish I had reported it now.

Cos I could be more gleeful if I tried really, really hard.
