In my country women were historically majority in Math degrees until big data became a thing and many more men entered the field. Girls no longer find Maths attractive because it is now a male dominated field. Men and their behaviour excluded girls from Maths degrees. But sure, blame it on the dresses of female scientists.

This reminds me of Amy in The Big Bang Theory when she and Sheldon were competing with other two researches to be candidates for the Nobel prize. Sheldon was only worried about the prize and the repercussions in his own career, but Amy had to worry about that and also carry the burden of being an example to the rest of the girls in the world.
Women can be never left in peace to do whatever they want. Every single of their actions have to be under scrutiny, even stupid things like the color you choose for a dress. You worked hard having everything against you and got a deserved place in a world dominated by men, maybe under someone who has less merits than you but got there by the grace of the holy penis. But it is not enough. You did not do well enough because you are not enough of a good example. You are responsible for what other girls do, you need to carry that burden too.
Men can go to the lab naked or looking like homeless drug addicts if they want to, though. Nobody will say a thing.

licherally this though. and this is gonna sound shitty, but... coming from the perspective of a female scientist, every female scientist I know who is obsessed with expressing hyperfemininity is too busy with its ridiculousness to actually be good at science. and it makes the rest of us look bad, tbqh. if you are wearing a dress, you're not gonna be able to do field work very well and you're not even going to be allowed to enter most labs. if you're wearing makeup or falsies or fake nails or glitter or perfume or your hair is down, you're gonna contaminate samples or have to handle them in such a way that it will reduce processing efficiency. we all roll our eyes at these women. their existence makes our jobs harder to get and to perform, not least because we have to prove to the (still predominantly male) PIs that we're not gonna behave like that. of course that shouldn't be how it is, but it is. as always, the construct of femininity divides women as a class and causes problems for all of us where none should exist. women shouldn't be looked down on for appearances, but when you perform femininity to the detriment of your job and everyone around you, 1) it shows that YOU look down on other women for not performing, and 2) people are gonna start getting annoyed with you, and it's gonna cause problems for yourself and for other women.
What you say is so weird it could come from a male scientist that is just trying to find excuses to imply women perform worst than men in science. If you are wearing a dress, you won't be allowed to enter a lab, you say? Isn't your employer required to provide work garments and PPE you can change into if needed? You can't work in an SPF animal house or in a biosafety level 3 with your skin exposed, men can't either, but you can certainly do bioinformatics in a dress or present in a conference with your nails painted. Fake nails contaminating your sample worry you? Maybe use gloves and thing solved. And what samples you say got contaminated with hair? Because that seems quite unlikely unless you are working in forensic genetics and in regular labs men don't wear surgical caps either so what is the difference. And if your PI is an idiot that makes you prove yourself harder than men, that sounds very awful but don't blame other women for men's faults.
You speak from anecdotal experience and provide no evidence, so hear my anecdotal experience in the lab. The people who most likely challenge lab safety by playing dumb, failing to follow rules and doing reckless things are always MEN. Men who do not use the gas extractors when they should, men who do not follow procedures when working with hazardous chemicals. Men who made "dry ice bombs" by putting dry ice into eppendorfs just to startle people in the lab for jiggles when they explode (real experience of mine). And contaminations? Really want to hear about contaminations in cell culture because of not following proper cleaning procedures and not keeping things in order? Men, 100%. Who never checked their cells for mycoplasma, spreading a contamination throughout the institute? MEN. If you saw the dirt my male colleagues made in our biosafety cabinet level II you would laugh at your fear for women having their hair down.
One thing is being against women spending time, resources and effort into performing femininity against their best interests, and a very different story is blaming sexism in science on fellow female scientists that wear dresses.
Here is Marie Curie, only person to ever hold two Nobel Prizes in Science, "performing femininity" in a lab with a dress. Credits for the picture to nobelprize.org
Cause calling us childbearing is so much better than just saying female or woman 😑
So if I am, let's say, an infertile woman and thus have no "childbearing potential" I need to be excluded from medical forms so a few trans-identified males, who are clearly not the target of this form, don't get triggered by the word WOMAN.
this one is particularly bad, considering the disconnect between how doctors understand words like "infertility" and "sterility" and how the general public understand them.
Specially this. Because you might be infertile and believe that it is not possible for you to get pregnant when actually that is not true. This forms puts women in danger. This form is intentionally obscure and confusing for women. This is medical practice failing women again.

Is Barbie seeing a Gynaecologist opening a door to transphobia?
I've seen someone say that and I'm confused
No. Trans women see gynaecologists too if they’ve had bottom surgery. And Barbie’s excitement to see hers is because her genitalia is new to her so, if anything, she’s closer to a trans metaphor there. (As an intersex person, it also made me happy that her and Ken not having any genitals at the start was addressed ❤️)
If someone’s saying that about that scene, they’re probably either some kid looking to discourse, they’re being satirical or they’re a troll.
Guys is it transphobic to have a vagina? :/ I've seen someone say that and I'm confused, please tell me what I should think so I don't commit any thought-crime
If having a vagina is transphobic why do trans indentified men want one so badly.
“humanity needs men because men are stronger than women” yeah i guess humanity needed men’s physical strength in the neolithic years when people had to hunt for food and survive animal attacks etc. but what do men offer to humanity today that women alone cannot offer? physical labor? there are now machines and state of the art technology for that. protect the tribe from animal attacks? we don’t live amongst wildlife anymore and even if we did, we have powerful weapons to defend ourselves. fight in the war? war wouldn’t even exist as a concept if men didn’t exist. technology may indeed replace humans, as a lot of people often warn, but it is human males that will most likely be replaced. male extinction is just around the corner.
Moreover, we did not hunt with strength, we hunted with strategy. No man's strength can beat a mammoth. Women did hunt. When somebody says an activity is or was exclusive to men because it required strength, don't believe them. It's a lie. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/01/science/anthropology-women-hunting.html
this is why y’all can’t troll the stupid
screaming
can’t…stop…refreshing…
mlms be like “19th century homophobia, but make it woke”
trolling can be useful as a measure for determining where exactly the line in the sand is - it helps answer the question of how far the bullshit ideology stretches before its adherents get a conscience check and realize they’re agreeing with some morally depraved talking points.
the person answering these asks clearly missed every opportunity for a wake-up call, and that’s informative in its own right. if these people are going to just shamelessly agree with open transparent homophobia now, let them. let them sink so far into their extremism that normal people see the real endgame of what they stand for.
All of these are literally textbook historical homophobia … and were expected to share a community with them.
"I am attracted to pronoums". I can already see the news headline coming: "Man surprised raping dictionary".
this is such a good way to put it omg pllsssss imagine you told someone you love math and are good at it and wanna study it and they go "oh my! have you maybe considered taking on chinese citizenship?" 💀💀
the barbie movie very explicitly said that men also suffer under the patriarchy and should support rather than compete with one another and are good enough just by being themselves and shouldn’t define themselves around a woman or relationship and somehow that wasn’t positive enough
Maybe they shouldn’t have invented it then
Patriarchy is not a deity or an abstract entity, patriarchy are men. Men that exert power over women. Men who own property that should belong to women. Men who claim the benefits of women's work. Men who sit on positions of power that correspond to women. Men who make laws to validate their oppression of women. Men who parasite women's reproductive effort and capabilities. Men who use their power to exclude women from education and paid work. Men who enslave women. Men. Every single man of this planet. When a man says he is a victim of patriarchy, what he really means is that he is getting a smaller portion of the effort that was parasited or stolen from women, a smaller fraction of privilege than he thinks he deserves as a birth right. He is angry because he sees himself below the other women's oppressors and he thinks this is unfair.
I believe life makes plain a harsh reality that most are unwilling to accept: women are safe only because of men, whether through men protecting them from evil, men providing them the means to protect themselves from evil, or men being civilised and virtuous enough to resist the temptation of evil.
And who is the ‘evil’? Oh right also men... if men just stopped, women wouldn’t have a need to be protected in the way you describe. Plus you act as if women don’t work… as if they don’t provide themselves the means to protect themselves ‘from evil’…and if they don’t, most of the time it’s because men go out of their way to make women dependent on them and don’t let them be financially independent. If men were ‘civilised and virtuous enough to resist the temptations of evil’ they’d stop committing the majority of rape and murders and other violent crimes wouldn’t you say? Men create more danger and ‘evil’ for women than they protect them from
Men being civilised and virtuous... by raping women, children, infants, animals, and corpses?
Raping even drainpipes

Also women aren’t safe??? What the fuck are you talking about anon?

I have a diagnosed hormonal disease and I am still treated like a glutton the moment I cross the door.
I wished when I tell my doctor that I have continuous, incontrolable hunger they would treat this as a symptom that needs to be explored and not as sin that needs to be purged.
stinky poo poo baby can't handle trans people
Wah wah wah
Can none of you talk like adults
Can you not hate trans people?
I don’t
Really? Because all the terf bullshit you post says otherwise.
Cry me a river terf
I'll never be able to wrap my head around why yall think that disagreeing with your use of the gender construct is hated. I know gender identity isn't inherent to human beings because I'm a human being without a gender identity. I have a sex (female) the same way I have an eye color (hazel) or a height (5'5"). but none of that says a thing about WHO I am or what I'm like as a person, and that's where we disagree. how is that hatred?
I also find it interesting that your bio addresses "terfs" (who by the definition of radical feminist can only be female and feminist) rather than "transphobes" in a general sense. also no mention of misogynists, racists, fascists, etc. it seems, then, that you have a specific problem with the feminist women who object to your ideology, rather than with genuine bigotry?
+I am a woman.
-You are not.
+OHHH NOOOO, SHE DID NOT COMPLY WITH MY BELIEVES, SHE HAD THE GUTS TO CONTRADICT ME BUAAAAAA I AM GOING TO DIE, SHE HATES ME, BIGOOOOT, LITERARY NAZI, YOU ARE DOING TRANS GENOCYDE, I WILL KILL MYSELF IF YOU DON'T LET ME SHOVE MY PENIS IN YOUR SPACES, AND IT IS YOUR FAULT, BUAAAAAAAAAAA
Who is crying a river?
That‘s why I‘ll always save all my admiration for women‘s accomplishments and ignore men‘s.
Reminds me of the post about women being several times better than men at apnea and people saying it proved "women were just as good as men"
Anyway nornalise saying women are better than men
Of course. Same happened to Joanne Rowling when she became the world's highest-paid writer. Suddenly, revenues and number of sold copies were no longer a valid criteria to decide who was the best author, and amateur literature critics appeared everywhere trying to diminish her work and attribute her success to the movies that appeared years later. Or to advertisement and merchandising, although people were queuing to buy her books years before that was even a thing. Making money is a sign of success when men do it, but when women do it better than them, then the criteria needs to change so men get to keep the upper place. Male inferiority complex.
Discussing whether or not sex workers “enjoy their job” is an enormous waste of time from a Marxist perspective (which so many of you claim to have).
Do we discuss whether or not the steel workers enjoy their job? Do you discuss whether or not the the slaughterhouse workers enjoy their job? No! That’s never brought up whatsoever—for whatever reason, we immediately understand that a random laborer’s personal enjoyment on the clock is not relevant.
What is relevant is discussing how labor is built upon coercion. The ruling class has stolen the commons and thus forced us into repetitive work for money, which we all “need” to have in order to pay our taxes—and our taxes are used to fuel military excursions meant to steal even more resources to make the ruling class even more powerful.
In other words, all labor that is exchanged for money is coerced. This is very, very basic Marxism 101.
Sex work is thus, like all other work, coerced. And coerced sex is rape.
It is honestly a bit sickening to me how quickly y’all point to personal enjoyment. I’ve never seen that argument used elsewhere at all. I’ve never seen a self-described Leftist say “some cashiers enjoy being on their feet :)” or “some field workers enjoy being in the sun :)”
What an absolutely absurd thing to argue! And y’all who humor them by point out the health risks, the testimonies, etc.......just absolute ABSURDITY.
i already reblogged this but this is one of the best posts on leftism and prostitution ive seen. thank you op. leftists will be like „all work under capitalism is coerced therefore ‚sex work‘ is just like any other work“ when prostitution is the only ‚work‘ involving coerced sex, aka rape. i could never quite put this together that concisely, their own argument doesnt hold up. if you accept that all work is coerced, and prostitution is coerced, then all prostitution is inevitably rape. i know im not adding anything to this post i just had to summarise it for myself cause its so good.
