‘I incite this meeting to rebellion! Be militant each in your own way, I accept the responsibility for everything you do!’
“Hello, Mr. Socialist. I am a woman. My labour is either unpaid, like domestic work, or underpaid, like professional care. My presumed capacity to give birth forces me into social structures which define me as property, economically disadvantage me and exclude me from power."
"I am just one of of one half of the entire population, and we are all treated the same way, more or less.
"Because these systems - we call it patriarchy - exist, I and other women navigate the world differently to men, we are socialised to do so.”
"And if we step out of line, we are subject to the constant enforcer: male violence, including sexual violence.
"Even if we don't step out of line, actually. Just to keep us in our place. To warn us not to step out of line."
"You say you want a different world, a more equal world, where everyone has the same rights, the same opportunities. You must look at the role of women. You must champion our cause, too. Else you will fail.
You cannot have a more equal world if you leave out half the people."
"OK. Have a women only shortlist, protection from discrimination, maternity allowances and an Equal Pay Act. Will that do the trick."
"Hello Mr. Socialist. I'm a transwoman. I was born male but now I identify as a female"
"I'd like access to those laws, those shortlists and those allowances as well, please.
"Because there is no such thing as a woman. Not biologically. It's all cultural, you see. Longuistic. There are social women, only some of whom are menstruators."
"Look here's a mistepresentation of Derrida, and Marx, and some gobbledegook from Butler, and a bit of soft porn from an American Professor to prove my point."
"Now, about those resources we'd like. Can I have them now, along with a right to expose my penis to women and girls?"
"Oh. I'm not sure we fully understand but, sure, yes, that seems fair enough."
"Um, hello. Women here again. That's a whole kind of bullshit."
"Bigots, fascists, bitches. Suck my girl dick, Terf"
"I wonder what the right side of history is?"
"Well do you remember what we said about stepping out if line? What men do to women when we step out of line?
