Professor calls to abolish terms like 'gay' that 'harms' trans people

Women don't "carry" babies, they build them, and unlike other creators they also are the material used. Pregnancy isn't work because it's more than work. Ordinary labor involves a continual conscious decision to continue. Pregnancy invades every aspect of your existence, and you can't clock out for a break. More respect for mothers now

Every day I lose more faith in humanity. Chris Watts is getting married! You know, the evil piece of shit that killed his pregnant wife and toddler daughters? Yeah, that Chris Watts. I don’t understand how so many women look at men like that and think “Awwww the way he killed his family was so hot and sexy”.

Even if solidarity with other women and girls is just too much hassle, aren't y'all scared?

For anyone who doesn’t know, an anchoress was a kind of religious hermit, except instead of going and living in a cave they were women who were walled into a cell in a church. They had a small window they could look out of, talk through, and receive food through, but they never left that cell again. When they entered they were often given the prayer for the dead, because their normal life had ended.

In other words, this woman chose a life of prayer in a cell over marriage.

does that fundamentalist woman with eight kids have a breeding kink, or does she not have access to birth control and the ability to tell her husband no?

does that trad wife have a submission kink or was she groomed from birth to believe she has no other choice in life?

is that woman embracing gender roles because she’s into it or are you sexualizing the abuse she faces?

[terracotta7]

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.

It's super common for men to call and harass just about any help line. They even call suicide help lines to fap to makeing the women uncomportable. Yeah if you do this you should be called out. I think your name should be published as well.

[asirpa-feminist]

As a CSA survivor it is infuriating that trans fanatics are deliberately misinterpreting the situation to fuel their JK Rowling hate boner

Some man rang a rape crisis hotline with bad intent and implausible story to harass rape crisis hot line workers and troon losers are framing this as some poor victimised baby who was trapped and violated (his details are not published dumbasses) and of course he would hang up (when he figured out she was already onto him) and how dare a rape crisis hotline record calls like it isn’t standard practice to record phone calls

PCOS does not make women look and sound exactly like men (I would know I have PCOS)

I find it extremely offensive that you are using my medical condition in your shitty gender identity ideology

Stop wasting time on services for rape/abuse victims

These services exist to help female rape victims not for your weird gotchas

@terracotta7 Fuck You

[sichorean]

I'm just going to say that we also had deep voiced "women" try and arrange to be "picked up" for transport to our intake center.

We had to be extremely careful because on *several* occasions this individual turned out to be a male who was extremely angry that our workers had assisted his ex-wife or girlfriend in leaving or divorcing him. One woman in 2006 was badly injured in this exact ploy. When we got to the point of stating that we would provide pickup services with a female police officer present, suddenly those calls ended.

Yes, there are many men who ring up and masturbate while describing sexual violence, and there's many men who ring up and just try to waste the time of the women running the phone lines. But there are also men who will try to manipulate workers into a physically unsafe situation.

A woman ringing up and stating she has PCOS and a beard would also have no reason to hang up upon being told the call was being recorded. A man who is lying to a support service and trying to cause trouble would.

“I am asking you to retaliate against rapists, to organize against rapists. We know who the rapists are. We know because they do it to us. He did it to me; he did it to my best friend. We know who he is. We know that it happened: when, where, and how. I'm asking you to take rape seriously. If the law won't do anything, you must do something.

I'm asking you to close down the pornography outlets wherever you can and to stop the distribution wherever you can, in whatever way you can.

I am asking you to stop passing: stop having feminism be part of a secret life. I am asking you not to apologize to anyone for standing up for women.

I am asking you to organize political support for women who kill men who have been hurting them. They have been isolated and alone.

This is a political issue. They're being punished, because at some moment in their lives, they resisted a domination that they were expected to accept. They stand there in jail for us, for every one of us who got away without having to pull the trigger, for every one of us who lived to tell about getting away without having the trigger pulled on us.

I am asking you to stop men who beat women. Get them jailed or get them killed, but stop them. Men who rape make a choice to rape. And men who beat women make a choice to beat women. And we women now have choices that we have to make to fight back.

I am asking you to look at every single political possibility for fighting back-instead of saying, "I asked him, I told him, but he just wouldn't stop." We need to find ways to do it together. But we need to do it.”

For the record, Andrea Dworkin is a lot kinder to other women than anybody gives her credit for. She’s disappointed and resigned, but she doesn’t lash out and I genuinely think that her ideological opponents wish she did so their vitriol against her was justified.

If puberty blockers are sooo important for trans children to go through "the right puberty" because the difference is that big, then why do transwomen athletes not have an advantage and are the same as cis women?

[scribbles-0f-a-madwoman]

Because women are pets to men. As long as your pet isnt beaten or bruised, you're taking good care of it. That much is not questioned. They can understand that treating someone of another race as something to own, but for some reason it becomes blurred with women. Honestly, I believe it comes down to a couple of sources.

1) A higher level of biological difference

2) The biological difference being related to a natural interaction between men and women necessary for the continuation of our species

3) That interaction being manipulated into a required service from women that benefits men solely because they understand the reality of sexual selection and their insignificance in the process (reproduction is not guaranteed and they are reliant on the sex who labors more to have authority on when and where reproduction occurs). Therefore, misogyny becomes more useful. It traces back down to our very nature. It seeks to supplement mens fear of being secondary, a fear that drives down to their very instinct. The manipulation takes many forms. Either through physical force, or through the spread of biased knowledge (the ways that we word the dynamic between men and women and indoctrinate children to percieve everything sex related such as roles, behavior, biological functions, etc. This is done mainly through male founded science and philosophy.)

But thats just my theory, and no one wants to admit that misogyny is based on sex. No one wants to say that this is a consequence of sex being desecrated. We always have to come back to blaming capitalism or some dumb shit. No, capitalism just feeds off that sex basis. Leftist men love to blame capitalism as the source because they dont want to disrupt the fundamental issue that is womens nature being mutilated into what we see today. They dont want to question how they see women as an asset or "other" that only adds to their prioritized narrative, because deep inside they know that this is opposite of what evolution intended. They only want to question the fuel that they add to the fire: money. The fact that women are dogs to men isnt the issue, its more so if men keep them outside on a chain or inside in a crate. The fact that we have no dignity isnt an issue, we just need to be correctly handled.

men believe in the concept of 'women's intuition' becuase they'd rather believe that women have an inherent connection with nature (much like that of an animal) than accept that women could be skilled at pattern recognition. first of all, they'd have to admit that women have a learned skill and human intelligence. and secondly, they'd have to admit that men display patterns of abuse that are able to be recognized + abusive men are not just a handful of uniquely deranged psychos

men have found this and are big mad. guess i hit a little too close to home. thanks for the notes, fanboys

The thing that’s always missing from the “women didn’t fight for the right to work they were already working they fought to get paid” is that many women also very much wanted to work.

Women wanted to be lawyers and engineers and chemists. They wanted to use their brains in challenging and interesting ways. They wanted to get the satisfaction from solving problems and inventing new shit and getting attention for it.

I know not everyone is born with intellectual curiosity or drive or determination but some people are and many of those people are women.

i don’t know how anyone can watch as all the girls and full-grown women around them claim nb identities, can read all these comments and the thousands like them on the thousands of tiktok videos exactly like this, and not realize that the answer is that womanhood is in fact... not an identity. it was never something you need to “feel like” in order to be.

some of my favorite (aka the most depressing) comments are “you know it [feeling like a woman] when you feel it. you are comfortable with your assigned gender and sex. you like everything about your gender and sex.” and “for me i think it’s because womanhood is portrayed as docile fragility and i don’t vibe with that” and “yes. it’s like i don’t think about my gender until someone makes expectations of me based upon it.”

These people all need an actual feminist class analysis lesson. Desperately.

girl do you think women enjoy misogyny? 😐

[addictedtocaring]

The "you like everything about your gender and sex" thing is why "cis" is not an accurate description of me. I'm a woman bc I'm female, not bc I vibe with femininity like that

Do not befriend men:

This man spells it out clear as day. A woman is a good friend because you might get to fuck her, and if you can’t, she may have hot friends you can fuck. If that’s not a possibility, at least the woman will act as your free therapist and do the emotional labour men won’t do.

All men want to do is use women. They admit it very clearly when you actually listen to them.

[pumpumdemsugah]

The article also details that men aren't abusive because they were abused as kids the driving force for abuse towards women is the behaviour is beneficial to them and they don't respect that woman or women in general
