I mean, if you’re hoping to go viral perhaps don’t literally announce it at the start of the video; but excellent work cramming in a concatenation of completely unrelated TRA talking points that sound even more incoherent than usual when the [performative?] outrage is about women daring to claim their right to homosocial spaces, specifically a FaceBook Group for sharing beauty tips for hooded eyes.
But this Instagrammer decided that the mere existence of this group is an affront. Calling it out publicly & repeatedly stating it must breach FB community standards is a blatant attempt to instigate mass-reporting to shut them down. (Posting here isn’t going to make it worse, this thread was brought to you courtesy of your one who thinks they’ve cervix & “female blood” & feck knows what else.)
This is an amazing - and shocking - video from Steph, a cis woman from Liverpool. She was on Facebook, and has found a make-up tips group “for biological women only.” Wow 😳 .Hitting all the home truths.
Low bar there for shock & amazement; & a neat reminder IW is in fact not at home to truth as regards biology + biochemistry, history, women’s lived reality & assorted other things. But IW thinks women should behave exactly like this: recite the mantras; roll out the red carpet for males to enter female spaces; be outraged should other women try to maintain boundaries; insist on making any & all spaces mixed sex because they’re fine with it [& it’s bigotry not to be]; refuse to believe the mountains of evidence.
I don’t wear make-up. I used to wear it when I was on-stage for amateur ballet performances, but I’d have to beg for help with it. Even so I can easily imagine why this is a women-only space: because even if you were to get a woman in there who barely knows which end of an eyeshadow brush to use, she’s not going to destroy the group dynamic in the way a male person, however they’re identifying, will. If she posts something & doesn’t get lots of replies/doesn’t consider them fawning enough she won’t have the screaming ab-dabs & accuse everyone of bigotry. She also won’t post inappropriate content to the group; nor send members inappropriate messages/images. (Not making up things there MN, those are real issues from fashion & beauty FB groups.) Muslim women who dress modestly are sometimes very into make-up - they’re not going to want to share a space like this with with TW.
The absolute burning rage at the idea women are saying no to males over anything, denying them access to anywhere, is quite horrifying. As is the fact there are grown women colluding in their campaigns to destroy any space, however small, that says “no”.
