Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

The “women’s march” that’s all about the men.

I couldn’t see a thread about this, but I’m just here to share how annoying it is to see a so-called women’s march so concerned with placating men. This is the march in January.

As well as the highly predictable “this is for all women” (meaning including the ones who are men) and the ‘we don’t tolerate transphobia’ (meaning any concept of sex-based oppression), the Facebook group is full of posts reassuring men that of course they’re welcome and it’s not all men and obviously “not my Nigel”. It’s infuriating. Why do people do this?

Response - Children can become pregnant too though, as can transgender men, intersex people and non-binary people, depending on their anatomy. I, for one, am always more switched on to a cause when inclusive language is used 🫶🏼

Then why on earth have they made it the 'Women's March'?

Why not 'people's march'?

I've nicked and replied to my 'educator'.

P.s. the second attachment genuinely baffles me. I'm not if I'm misunderstanding it.

They think the footballer is a woman, rather than a male person with a DSD who has failed sex testing several times. They think we only don't think Banda is a woman because we are racist.

I sometimes (actually often) find myself short circuiting at the gender ideologists 'logic'. It's like my brain has to revert back to basic thinking because it shuts down to stupidity. It literally demands that I separate myself from clear and logical thinking to survive listening/reading their crap.

Reply to why not person march?

I didn't name it.

I've asked whether if she could whether she would change it.

This should be where she realises she's stuck as removing 'woman' removes meaning. But let's see.

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 10:35

Or I'll just get booted out. Far easier.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 18/12/2024 10:40

I think there's a banhammer with your name on it @Sparklybutold Grin

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 10:41

Im being too obvious aren't i.

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 10:56

Her valiant response - it's not my march to rename 😂

SinnerBoy · 18/12/2024 11:23

Then surely it's not hers to misname?

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 18/12/2024 11:24

TigerLily40 · 16/12/2024 19:48

Every time I or anyone else says anything against them, it is an instant block.

So very inclusive of them 🙄

My first thought was 'so they even understand what 'inclusive' means? But then I realised if they don't know what a woman is, the answer is probably no 😆

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 11:25

SinnerBoy · 18/12/2024 11:23

But she is enlightened and wants to be inclusive - I am a FART according to the language used in their fb page.

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 11:26

Fart - feminist appropriate ridiculous transphobe

Sparklybutold · 18/12/2024 11:26

Appropriating

They think that is more appropriate than TERF 😂😂

SinnerBoy · 18/12/2024 12:24

Well, I think that they are BONKERS.

Women Invested In Men’s Priorities

WIMPS! My goodness I would love to talk to these women in 20 years when the babies, the family caring career breaks, the gender pay gap plus the general misogyny, casual sexual harassment and the raft of other shit us miserable middle aged women have faced, finally hits them full in their inclusive kind faces. I wonder how they will see things then and us old hags will be here with our hands outstretched to welcome them into the realities of Woman.

How very Rachel McKinnon 2017.

Probably chosen with the intention to preface it with "Boring Old". Not that that would be in the slightest ageist ...

ArabellaScott · 18/12/2024 14:52

Aye, it's funny how much ageism, discrimination, and prejudice comes with all these 'inclusive' groups.

TigerLily40 · 18/12/2024 18:35

So someone is now being called a boomer? They have a problem with age now?

TigerLily40 · 18/12/2024 19:09

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 18/12/2024 19:06

Similar thing has happened with Carmarthen Pride..... who have cancelled themselves when challenged by the FSU rather than admit TERFs. Bunch of twats 😆

https://freespeechunion.org/winter-pride-event-called-off-after-fsu-writes-to-welsh-pride-event/

I have contacted this union about all this and awaiting response. Also contacted the equality council. I am also in discussions with one of the original organisers who wasn't best pleased when she heard everything that was going on after returning from a 2 week break.

AstonScrapingsNameChange · 18/12/2024 19:57

Let us know how it goes 🤞
