Happy Day all you adult human females!

Men cannot be women.

Woman is not some man's feeling.

This day is for WOMEN. Wine Thanks

Jog on Orwx, and don't call us cis, it's not allowed on this board.

Aye, right.

Orwx · 08/03/2020 23:40

Just because you have a vagina and openly hate men, doesn't mean you're a feminist. Hmm

I'm not arguing anyway. I just wanted to express my shock and disappointment at the lack of movement. Women should support women. ALL WOMEN.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 08/03/2020 23:41

Okay, love, in capital letters, we see it. Thanks for your input.

Happy for IWD to be for all women but men aren't women. It's OK to be a man but IWD is for females. I'm not desperate to be include in trans days. It's just one day where adult human females are the focus.

Orwx · 08/03/2020 23:41

@theflushedzebra what is not allowed?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 08/03/2020 23:41

I'm not desperate to be include in trans days

Oh dear.

theflushedzebra · 08/03/2020 23:42

Calling women cis, when we don't identify as such is not allowed.

We are women. No prefix is required.

@2Rebecca
I'm not sure why people keep using that definition as a way of disregarding trans women. That definition still includes trans women.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 08/03/2020 23:43

@Orwx theflushedzebra what is not allowed?*

People get pissy over the three letter C word and it's a not allowed term on here as most people see it as an insult.

Glad to have shocked you, orwx, with the shocking revelation that this IWD is for women, and that women are adult human females.

Orwx · 08/03/2020 23:45

@WotchaTalkinBoutWillis
Oh cis is offensive but calling a trans woman a man isn't? Haha. Right.
They're no better than the misogynistic patriarchy that has oppressed women forever.

BingBongSong · 08/03/2020 23:45

Are the speeches from the Speaker's Corner event available? I'd love to see them if so.

Orwx · 08/03/2020 23:46

@theflushedzebra you're boring now.

theflushedzebra · 08/03/2020 23:48

Yes they are Bing

Here

Enjoy!

Women should support women. ALL WOMEN

Absolutely. I think we have found an area of agreement. No-one could disagree with supporting all women surely.

HerRoyalCarbyLess · 08/03/2020 23:48

My daughter is 4 years old and she is more respectful and feminist than any of you

Your daughter is 4. She's should be busy being a child, not a feminist.

Also, my son is 4. He plays with a baby and a pram, loves the colour pink, does my hair, wears nail varnish and watches my little pony.
He is still a boy. Despite what mermaids and stonewall would have you believe.

I actually feel sorry for your daughter, knowing she will be brought up to believe that she must be feminine or she isn't a real woman, and that she must push aside her own discomfort, privacy and safety to allow male bodied people into sex segregated spaces on the basis of kindness.

On that note, why is it always girls and women who must be kind? Never boys and men?
Don't you see that's one of the issues. Sexist stereotypes, telling girls to be kind and boys to take what they want, leads to make bodied people taking away females safe spaces while the women sit quietly because they must be kind.

Feel free to leave my thread on IWD anytime you like, orwx.

Yep, not sure how that one works myself lol
Not particularly a fan of the word myself but not sure the logic behind saying trans woman a man isn't an insult when it clearly is.

BingBongSong · 08/03/2020 23:55

Thanks, Zebra! I just found it on YouTube, will watch it tomorrow.

I'm trying to find the Standing for Women meeting from Sept 2018, with this wonderful Sheros, Sweary, Jean, Anne and Julia. Will post it when I find the link.

R0wantrees · 08/03/2020 23:55

A man is an adult human male.

theflushedzebra · 08/03/2020 23:56

But transwomen are male. It's stating a fact.

And feminism is for females - the clue is in the name.

Why is an insult to state a biological fact? Why do you think being a man is an insulting thing to be? Do you hate men that much?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/03/2020 00:01

Why do you think being a man is an insulting thing to be?
Er........ nope, I can't even.
It isn't.
Can't be arsed further than that tbh. Not worth it.
All I originally said was Happy International Women's Day to all women and I stand by that.
