Most stupid centring of men on national women's day

What's the most stupid centring of men you've seen on national women's day. This particularly annoyed me as it is literally centering men with both the messaging and the framing of the male individual.

I haven't got the guts to tell the person that posted it on social media they're an idiot, so will have to content myself with venting here.

It's particularly depressing because she's a bloody teacher and supposedly an intelligent person.

To be fair, I'm not immune to ignorance. The first time I heard the word bigotry was in Harry Potter when Hermione is talking about how wizards hate giants. In my young mind I made the link big/bigotry and thus assumed it was a term to describe hatred of people of height like Hagrid.

It took a few years and a red face to realise I had oversimplified a tad.

Something else to blame Rowling for though, eh?

And ElonMusky is providing a live example of someone highlighting men on IWD 🙄

WinterTrees · 08/03/2023 20:42

The Science is so up to the minute that Musky is still putting the PowerPoint together right now. World exclusive coming any minute...

(If you give us the nod Musky we can arrange a drumroll 🥁)

Here for the latest science / magic that means that when some people say “I am a woman!” they magically transform into one. A bit like the body of Christ in transubstantiation. Trans joy for all the true believers! You are no longer a small round wafer, but a Real Woman!

StephanieSuperpowers · 08/03/2023 20:43

There's new science? How exciting! What an age we live in!

CrystalCoco · 08/03/2023 20:44

If I hold my breath in anticipation will I expire before the big reveal?

Despite women's average lifespans being longer than ever, I still don't have enough time to perform the eye rolls appropriate for this shit.

pissing myself at this

Fuck's sake.

It's like Peter Pan & 'I can fly'. You just have to believe & wish hard enough and it will all come twue.

MollochTheCorrupter · 08/03/2023 21:01

Oh so twaw works a little bit like 'I do believe in fairies, I do, I do'.
Glad to have puzzled out the source of the literal violence twam causes.

Why am I not surprised that you are US based @ElonsMusky?

Explain the biology to us then, at GCSE and A level for us UK types.

CandyLeBonBon · 08/03/2023 21:06

It feels like organisations are now too scared to give awards and accolades to ACTUAL women, for fear of the TRA WRATH that will inevitably ensue as a result of daring not to centre men. So yet again, women are collateral damage.

If TWAW, then WATW, so presumably we can centre ourselves on Trans day of remembrance? Remember 'All of us or none of us'!

Now, about that science...

Oh dear. I mean, I'm no sciencetta, but that sounds more like childish bants than peer reviewed exciting Novel Science.

I fear I've been getting all excited about nothing. 🙁

Oh, I've got a PhD in biochemistry and am an actual working scientist. Please explain your science to me, you won't need to dum it down at all.

We don’t have “grades” here, “hun”. But I’ve got four postgrad degrees; care to enlighten me on this new science you’re apparently so keen to tell us about….? Or is this “science” just stuff you’ve read on Tumblr?

Treaclemine · 08/03/2023 21:12

You forgot the fairy dust, which in this case must be derived from their own x chromosomes, duplicating and inserting onto the end of their damaged y.
It most have been a shock to discover that it wasn't we who were incomplete with no dangly bits , but them without some vital DNA,
Funny I haven't seen any of this new science in New Scientist.

CandyLeBonBon · 08/03/2023 21:13

Just because you quit learning in 8th grade, doesn't mean biology end at the 8th grade level hun.

Does this mean you're going to spout that American Scientist article about xxy/xxx/xyy etc etc chromosomes in the hope of convincing us that 'biological sex is complicated', when in fact, what that article does, is explain that disorders of sex development sometimes cause a 'glitch in the matrix' in males and females, often with life limiting consequences, but in actual fact, is nut evidence of any other sex, besides male or female.

Humans are sexually dimorphic. Even humans who are unable to reproduce are not evidence of a third sex. Women are adult human females who are born with the potential to conceive and gestate offspring. Males are not.

That is the biological reality of human beings,

Everything else is personality, fashion or fetish.

myveryownelectrickitten · 08/03/2023 21:15

I, for one, am looking forward to @ElonsMusky ’s explanations. It’s time to end our oppression by gamete dimorphism! All hall the new trans science!

myveryownelectrickitten · 08/03/2023 21:16

*all hail!

Harveywoo · 08/03/2023 21:18

Not quite the same horror but struggling a bit to diplomatically ignore the social media post of a colleague saying that on IWD she’s saying thanks to all the awesome colleagues, allies and mentors who’ve helped her career and listing 20 odd blokes 0 women. Erm ….

Theluggage15 · 08/03/2023 21:19

I’m still waiting for someone to explain, without using regressive gender stereotypes, how you live as a woman. Will @ElonsMusky cover this in the science webinar? Can’t wait!
