Mackenzie. Don’t blink; I don’t block, I’m a bleeder. All I do is hit. That game you taught me how to play, I won it And every inch gained in flight is an inch added to the fall But for him, I would not scream Blood on my clothes and my hands—I’ve done it again, I’ve done it again "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche

This is actually hilarious because:

Wasps are not bees. They are both members of the Hymenoptera order, which also includes ants. You wouldn't say that an ant is a bee just because they're both members of the same order, so why would you argue that a wasp is a bee? Would you argue that a camel and a giraffe are the same species because they also share the same order (Artiodactyla)?

Out of the some 20,000 species of wasp, NONE produce honey. There is a genus called "Brachygasta" including 17 species that keep stores of nectar and honeydew in case of food shortages, but none produce honey. And certainly not from meat.

So yet again, you have a TRA blatantly lying in order to turn something into what it's not. "The wasp is right, and the bee relies on untrue myths to explain itself," is such bullshit.

Sadly, this post got something like 2,000 notes. People will blindly believe what a TRA says, especially if it's a lie constructed to undo a radfem point. So many logical fallacies.

Wasps are not bees. Men are not women.

How the fuck would a wasp make honey from meat 😭 how stupid do you have to be. sex denialists are new age flat earthers

Interestingly, this demonstrates the TRA logic perfectly: If something just (vaguely) looks like something else, you can argue it is actually close enough to be the same thing.

Yes, wasps and bees share the same colour scheme and a body shape that is similar enough for them to be mistaken for one another before closer inspection, but it does not mean they are the same. Not even if wasps made honey.

It somehow greatly mirrors this weird ideology. If someone just changes their looks, their biology suddenly becomes irrelevant to reality. Wasps are bees because they wear the same cute outfit.

Except when it comes to wasps and bees, the outfit is actually just how they look naturally and not a bunch of artificial roles and stereotypes.

It’s a good demonstration of how they function by running as fast as they can from the truth, relying on prepackaged scraps they are terrified to examine too closely…

Wasps don’t make honey from meat— “meat honey” is a myth built on misinformation that arose around vulture bees, where a viral image claimed they somehow produced honey through the rotten meat they dine on. The truth is that they create food stores of meat alongside the otherwise normal flower-based honey. Much like a man pretending he can “feel” the periods and pregnancies of the woman around him because he gets the shits sometimes, the two are not related.
