Happy International Women's Day!

[theflushedzebra]

Happy Day all you adult human females!

Men cannot be women.

Woman is not some man's feeling.

This day is for WOMEN.

What practical positive step are you taking to advance the position on women on IWD?

Reminding them that as the sex who can get pregnant and still get sacked for it, retaining the word for our sex is the foundation stone of all of our sex based rights? Oh, and that anyone from the opposite sex who appropriates the word woman for themselves probably doesn't have women's best interests at heart. I'm also fighting for the right to be able to call a man a man. It's pretty important for women's advancement that we be able to say "you're not a woman, this is not what woman means" to any man. We appear to have lost the right to do that recently. I'm supporting women's fight to reject men's claims on womanhood.

Female
Girl
Woman

A sex. Not a gender.

Oh, and happy HUMAN FEMALE day,
fellow female humans!

@RobinMoiraWhite check the dictionary for a definition of woman. Adult human female. Nothing in there about gender feelz
.

Happy IWD and here's to absent friends 🥂 - Lang, Magdalen and all the other fabulous women who have been cancelled, no platformed, fired, bullied, threatened, silenced, censored, frightened and kicked off all and every social media platform by predictable and tedious misogynists, whose chapter is closing fast.

There are more of us than you think.

We have a definition already

Woman
noun
Adult human female

The only one which makes any sense.

Happy International Women's Day!!

Happy IWD to all the regulars and lurkers and those who have been banished!

There are more of us than we think. Next IWD things are going to look very different I think. Puuuuull.....

Happy international women’s day

We all know exactly what a woman is because every single human across all time came out of one.

Woman; born not worn

I'm late to feminism but I genuinely owe it to Mumsnet for helping me to discover it.

Better late than never I suppose 🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy IWD 🍷🏆

Happy Women's Day, all you wonderful WomenBornWomen. I am proud to be working towards our collective liberation, and hope for better things for future generations of women and girls.

Happy IWD vipers!!

So, that's a good dose of 'Woman: adult human female' as a slogan.

Adult and human are relatively easy. But as an employer, or a service provider, how is 'female' to be tested, practically?

This is a celebration thread, not a discussion thread. Ignore ignore ignore.

Why don't you start your own thread robin with all the questions that you are demanding women answer?

This is a thread to celebrate adult human females and I am fucking celebrating that.

Your average employer can test who is female by using their eyesight. Blind employers can use their hearing. It’s worked since the dawn of time.

Robin, I'm not reading your posts here today - preparing a case for a woman as part of your job, does not make you a woman. Both men and women, and indeed transwomen, can prepare legal cases on behalf of women. But the fact remains that woman is a biological reality, and means adult human female.

Today I will be remembering all the women missing from FWR - too many to name them all - because of their refusal to adjust their language in accordance with the Mumsnet moderation rules on sex and gender identity.

TRAs can have women banned from here, banned from twitter, they can have our flags taken down, de-platform us, protest our meetings and they can lose us our jobs - but we are still here - and there are more of us than you think.

I know sunlight is the best bleach and all that, but on this particular thread I'm reporting the goading and merailing.

A person's sex is determined at the time of conception i.e. when the ova and sperm fuse into a zygote.

Modern medical technology enables happy parents to know the sex of a foetus before childbirth, but unfortunately it is also used
by some cultures to facilitate disgusting practices like sex-selective abortions.

23 million girls should be alive, but they aren't, because cultures that place more value on MEN over WOMEN will use all sorts of methods to ensure males have preferential treatment over females.

www.newscientist.com/article/2199874-sex-selective-abortions-may-have-stopped-the-birth-of-23-million-girls/

The 23 million figure doesn't include girls who are strangled or buried alive at birth, or slowly waste away from malnutrition due to parents deliberately feeding sons better food than daughters.

No man, no matter how much of a 'lady brain' he claims to have will EVER be more oppressed than women, because by virtue of being male he has already had the best start to life in every single country and culture around the world.

Exactly

Socialisation begins at birth

Girls are greedy, boys have a healthy appetite.

Boys are rough and tumble, girls must be dainty and delicate or she’s a tomboy.

Girls are encouraged to be quiet, polite and agreeing with the crowd or they are bossy. Boys are encouraged to speak their mind and be rough and tumble

A lot of behaviour boys have can be explained away by boys will be boys.

Happy IWD to all the adult, human females out there. And to this board for opening my eyes to the fact that there are people out there who apparently don't believe in biological reality, or that I don't have to be "kind" to them.

Happy International Women’s day you bunch of amazing women.
