Thoughtful insights into how some women get drawn into the wrong side of the debate.

So you can't answer the question what is feminism rose?

littlbrowndog · 31/07/2019 20:40

No 😥

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:40

I said what's the point not that I don't want to answer
There's no point even answering you make it perfectly clear, everyone can see exactly what you do

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 31/07/2019 20:41

So that's a no rose.

Got it.

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:42

If you say so

Datun · 31/07/2019 20:43

Haha.

Datun · 31/07/2019 20:43

So you can't define a woman, gender identity, or feminism.

Got it.

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:44

Yep, you're right there is haha, but you don't see how else it is haha - there's no semblance of awareness at all of what you do

StopThePlanet · 31/07/2019 20:44

littlbrowndog

No 😥

🤗

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:45

If you say so, just keep right on missing where I'm saying it's not that I can't answer, there's just no point answering you

littlbrowndog · 31/07/2019 20:46

But roses I have asked questions to you on several threads. Am Not being a twat.
But I really find it hard to understand what you are saying. I can’t get a grasp on what you mean or what you believe in so when am in a thread with you and reading what you write it’s very hard to understand

NeurotrashWarrior · 31/07/2019 20:46

I have no idea what the question is.

Could the answer be 42?

good old patriarchy. in a nutshell.

Datun · 31/07/2019 20:48

it's not that I can't answer, there's just no point answering you

I understand perfectly.

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:48

Seeing as you send out rallying cries of oy oy to try and shut up other threads, not much point in answering you either is there however much you come across I want to know honest on this thread.

RosesAndRaindrops · 31/07/2019 20:49

I understand perfectly.

If you say so

NeurotrashWarrior · 31/07/2019 20:49

Ah found the question now.

Post above looks weird, or maybe not at these days the answer to "what is feminism" is good old patriarchy.

StopThePlanet · 31/07/2019 20:50

Could the answer be 42?

Just watched that for the millionth time last night, love love love love it!

littlbrowndog · 31/07/2019 20:50

That to me roses ?

Datun · 31/07/2019 20:50

Who is that comment addressed to rose? Little dog?

Datun · 31/07/2019 20:51

Just watched that for the millionth time last night, love love love love it!

Me too.

NeurotrashWarrior · 31/07/2019 20:51

I read it when I'm depressed. Works a treat :)

Lamahaha · 31/07/2019 20:56

I've been away all day and haven't read the last several pages. The last thing I read was about words that change definition as culture changes. Sure. For instance, the word "gay" now has a completely different meaning to even 20 years ago.

But: we use words for communication, and in order to communicate we need clarity as to the definitions of words.

But when words as basic to our very humanity as the word woman and girl are opened up to include their direct opposite, we have a problem. Definitions become muddy, meaningless. Instead of clarity we have a big wide fluffy open vagueness. Instead of clarity we have confusion.

Exclusion is not a dirty word. We use words to exclude others; that's why they have fixed definitions. The definition of the word woman (adult human female) excludes the definition of man (adult human male). Exclusion is not a thing of evil. It's a thing of clarity: the more precise, the better. I read somewhere that Inuit people have a myriad of definitions for the word snow -- I think this is wonderful.

No group of people, and especially not a minority, has the right to change language, impose new definitions to long-standing words on the rest of society. Nobody has that right. And we refuse to go along with it.

Imagine a politically correct novel, a love story, in which the words women and man include, respectively, men who identify as women, and vice versa...

Wow interesting ad considering the thread...

I better start doing my research 'in cognito' these thread links are equating me to a pervert via algorithms. Fucking disturbing.

This is a good thread about female trans allies
DecomposingComposers · 31/07/2019 21:07

You'll never get an actual answer littl.

And nor do you answer questions Datun.

You were asked a question and respond by simply asking another question and then posting as infinitum "you're not answering my question", whilst not answering questions yourself.

This board is quite frankly nuts. When I first came across it I honestly thought I would find interesting discussions and possibly learn something. Instead, all I see are people who raise interesting viewpoints shouted down by posters determined to raise it to the level of a primary school playground, name-calling and insulting posters who hold a different view point, whilst metaphorically back slapping and high fiving the others in their gang.
