Slightly nervous to get into my hot tub now in case I emerge as a man.
Never heard such a load nonsensical drivel in my life. Poor Emma having to sit through it. Phd in utter self absorption more like.
LOL!
Yes, the self-absorption is something to behold here and probably also in the case of Lia Thomas and others like that. It's all about memememememe.
The drivel is interesting, though. Lavery says that 'women' can be a biological category or a political category, and the former supports patriarchy and the other does not.
That's word salad where the ingredients are correct but stirred into a mess:
It's true that the so-called patriarchy sees women as a biological category, a sexual and reproductive resource, and wishes to control that resource by denying the group 'women' political power.
As a response to that, many individuals in that biological group 'women' have fought to get political power and used it by creating political groups, and those groups have fought against the subjugation of women as a biological group and also against general misogyny. Those groups are still doing this.
But they are doing it FOR the group of biological women, BECAUSE it is on the grounds of biological sex that women are oppressed.
And that is the reason, Grace, why erasing the idea of sex-based rights is so dangerous. Sex-based wrongs are not disappearing in this world, and therefore sex-based rights are necessary.
