Concerns about Butch Hartman's Twitter Account Following Page
It seems suspicious that Butch Hartman follows anti-woke accounts on twitter. Anyway I am getting tired of Twitter's or X's as they call it biogotry. The staff doesn't even bother to do anything about it. Does Hartman have an ulterior motive for giving the FOPANW staff permission to start a new series because?
People need to grow up and need to understand that I am NOT responsible for anyone’s feelings. If somebody is bothered because I am queer, I am aro/ace, or that I am not interested in dating & sex and that i don’t follow society’s rules, that is NOT my problem. 💁🏽♀️ I’m not going to compromise my peace of my mind & my mental health trying to please others or cater to abusive people an pretend to be something i’m not for the sake of their feelings. Your feelings are YOUR responsibility, not mine. 🤷🏽♀️
The cookie cutter serves the whole
stating shapes and attitudes
functionality most embrace
at detriment of the least
this minority of number’s count
just as important as the rest
still they appear to be mangled bits
separate from the measured cuts
the molds align society
to responses without thought
automated to confirm
or attack out of concern
antibodies stamped from fear
masquerading as diligent
protectors of the factory
that false illusion of chemistry
these starting points in the sand
patterns engraved with certitude
they’re only blessed in calmest times
and not when the wind begins to blow
still the stalwarts hold the flanks
enveloped by the swirling breeze
the cookie cutter fails them then
past certitude now overwhelmed.
The poem “Cookie Cutter” is a poetic fever dream about the conservative elements of society, the ones that attack unlike parties, realizing their position is untenable. Sadly, it is perpetual. I can still dream.
Any religion can be dangerous, especially those who have historically yielded to it to keep and control people and make them docile and submissive to authority.
A surprisingly mainstream movement of feminists known as TERFs oppose transgender rights as a symptom of “female erasure.”
The New York Times has an interesting article about why so many British feminists appear to be transphobic haters (while the American TERFs are a dying breed).
Sophie Lewis writes:
“[TERFs] Ms. Parker and Ms. Long may not know it, but they’re likely influenced by the legacy of the British “Skepticism” movement of the 1990s and early 2000s, which mobilized against the perceived spread of postmodernism in English universities as well as homeopathy and so-called “junk science.” Hence, the impulse among TERFs to proclaim their “no-nonsense” character; witness the billboard Ms. Parker paid to have put up last fall dryly defining a woman as an “adult human female.” Such a posture positions queer theory and activism as individualistic, narcissistic and thus somehow fundamentally un-British.
It’s also worth noting that the obsession with supposed “biological realities” of people like Ms. Parker is part of a long tradition of British feminism interacting with colonialism and empire. Imperial Britain imposed policies to enforce heterosexuality and the gender binary, while simultaneously constructing the racial “other” as not only fundamentally different, but freighted with sexual menace; from there, it’s not a big leap to see sexual menace in any sort of “other,” and “biological realities” as essential and immutable. (Significantly, many Irish feminists have rejected Britain’s TERFism, citing their experience of colonialism explicitly as part of the reason.)
But perhaps the biggest factor in the rise of TERFism has been the relative dearth of social movements in Britain over the past three decades. It’s telling that Ms. Parker thinks it was the United States that exported “political correctness” and ideas like “gender identity” to Britain; it might even be fair to say that she’s right.
In other parts of the world, including America, mass movements in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s around the effects of globalization and police brutality have produced long overdue dialogue on race, gender and class, and how they all interact. In Britain, however, the space for this sort of dialogue has been much more limited.”
So the reason these so-called “radical feminists” appears to be deeply conservative haters, is because that is the kind of thinking they have grown up with. Note that most of them are white, middle class, women, with little knowledge of marginalized groups beside their own.
So it should come as no surprise that Master TERF Posie Parker recently took part in an event arranged by the American right wing extremist Heritage Foundation.
