She writes:

Men with profitable platforms who are just beginning to realise it may no longer be in your best interests to call us feminists/allies 'bigots' and 'transphobes', and now pretend to understand that the tide is turning, do you REALLY think we haven't kept all the receipts....?!

Oh dear, Campbell and Stuart, I think she might have hit on something there ... YOur dismissive attitudes to women's rights (to single sex spaces, fair sports, safety if imprisoned, ability to name what and who we are, ability to use our language about our bodies) - yes all those unimportant things - turns out they were actually pretty significant in the world's most powerful country.

Brava Ms Duffield!

In wanting to appeal to better off voters the economics of left wing traditions were forgotten.

Especially since these dipped into the edges of socialism which America is particularly adverse to following decades of conditioning of the red threat and fear of McCarthism.

Ironically we now have that 'red threat' being echoed again in the most recent narratives. But as an internal thing as much as an external one...

How anyone holding (or pretending to hold) luxury beliefs like genderism can call themselves leftwing is beyond me.

The adherents of genderism are misogynistic, homophobic, viciously authoritarian and anti-free speech. That's about as close to fascism as you can get.

My left wing friend thinks its all because they wouldn't vote for "a woman of colour" so as long as they think like that they're going to be out of office a long time.

Can I read it somewhere else? I don’t have access to it. Thank you

Thankyou that is an amazing piece of writing and so true

Agree. Bilek exposes the transhuman agenda behind trans ideology. I think this agenda has permeated our society in the last couple of decades. Huxley's 'Brave New World' made real. The idea of external gestation of children has turned up in science fiction and now appears in quite mainstream places such as Star Trek and in Asimov's stories involving e.g. the robot Daneel Olivaw. Surrogacy has been around in sci-fi for decades e.g. Robert Heinlein's 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' (the heroine gestates babies for other people), and in fantasy novels, for example, 'Sword Catcher' by Cassandra Clare (is her name indicative that she sees herself as a prophet who is not believed?).

Most of these sources point out that both external gestation and surrogacy are detrimental to society. They are also signposts on the way that humanity looks as if it is going. A huge effort is needed to derail such projects, currently spearheaded by the Trojan horse that is transgenderism.

I think the only point on which I disagree with that coruscating article is that Campbell hasn't just ignored the issue and now started mansplaining; he's on record multiple times over the past couple of years actively sneering at women's concerns and dismissing them.

Now he's (a) realised even silly wrongthinking women's votes are counted in the same way as the cool progressive people's because (b) a man has told him so.

Christ I despise him.

I agree Campbell deserves every brickbat he's copping

Yes. A few years back we were hopeful of middle ground. It became apparent this was a fallacy. Either women exist as a sex and have rights based on that sex, or they don't.

Agree. Bilek exposes the transhuman agenda behind trans ideology. I think this agenda has permeated our society in the last couple of decades.

Agree @Grammarnut Bilek’s been working on this over years and she exposes a really worrying agenda of a combination of MRAs and big pharma.

But - call me naïve - but I can’t see why. What’s in their interests? apart from the big pharma money, I suppose.

I remember an early comment here on MN back in maybe about 2017 when’s very astute poster commented that as Western women are moving away from the hormonal contraceptive pill and HRT big pharma needed to find other markets - men who fantasise about femininity perhaps? But it’s not a huge market in comparison.

And what’s the advantage of fake wombs? Aren’t there enough poor women in poor countries to go around (satire alert) ?

"less polarisation" and "more attempt at understanding" just means 'do as the men tell you without any backchat' doesn't it?

Pretty much.

It's up to them to otherwise acknowledge and solve problem areas giving people concerns.

Without action of this nature it's just another way of saying shut up.

Yeah. 'Stop yapping about your rights and move over girls. Men will be sad if you don't.'

poor sad mens

poor sad oppressed mens

The most oppressed of all the oppressed. Foreva!

With any luck!😆
