It's absolutely bizarre that they think its appropriate. Have they actually read it?

''[1] ‘Gender critical’ feminism arose from second wave feminism in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which understood feminism as a response to male power, which for them, is embodied by the male penis. Therefore, anyone who embodies maleness is considered a potential threat.''

Mermaids have shit the bed recently, haven't they? It's almost like MimmyBirthingPerson is back in charge of their twitter account.

So they think Stonewall equating feminism with anti-Semitism is a good idea?

Disgusting.

Picking up on some of Mermaids copy, I find it strange / interesting how often things get related back to being “bad” for “all minorities” these days.

I am all for intersectionality, but the mindset that something that is bad for one marginalised group must be bad for all marginalised groups just doesn’t add up.

It fails to acknowledge that everyone is different and that there are rights clashes between groups. Everyone needs to be free to advocate for their specific needs.

We cannot decide things based on some sort of marginalisation top trumps, where the most marginalised person always wins. But seemingly that is where we have ended up.

Either you unquestioningly advocate for the “most oppressed” according to whatever definition of oppression is fashionable today - or you are a Nazi.

It’s Pride month and so far we’ve had legal proceedings against LGBA and today comparing feminists to Nazis.

Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. Hmm

Firstly, what's biological fundamentalism?

Secondly, what is gender nonconforming?
Is it me?
Never were make-up or dresses/skirts.
Have short hair.
Hate house work.
Do a traditionally blokes job.
I have also given birth to three children.
Do I count as gender nonconforming and come under the trans umbrella?

Biological fundamentalism 😂😂😂

Typos everywhere!

It's a form of forced teaming. Bizarre.

Fucking hell!

Just showed that to DH. And said. By DEFINITION old school Feminists like me are gender non-conforming. In fact any woman or girl who questions the status quo, the difference in how men and women are treated and the expectations on them... Everywhere.. is gender non conforming.

Any woman or girl anywhere who says, this is wrong women and girls are struggling, suffering, less than. To any small or large extent. IS GENDER NONCONFORMING!!

But yeah. Women and girls who do that are like Hitler. A man (MAN) who murdered millions of people.

I mean. Fucking what? Come on people.

It's. Just so silly. They posted that? Hahahaha. Just. What?!
