You're the only person telling women being female reduces us to our ability to get pregnant.
No one is reducing men to their ejaculate by referring to them factually as male. Why would describing the facts about a female person be reductive? Is it reductive to call a child, a child? If I say humans have two legs, am I reducing all humans to a pair of legs?
WTF do you mean my sex "reduces" me? Explain yourself.
A woman is an adult human female. That does not mean she must be fertile, pregnant, heterosexual, feminine, able-bodied, young, or capable of childbirth.
Infertile women are women. Menopausal women are women. Women with hysterectomies are women. Women who never want children are women. Only female people can lack female fertility. Only female people can go through menopause. Only female people can have a hysterectomy.
Stating that women are female does not mean “women are wombs.” That is you expressing your misogyny. That is not what saying "women are female" means.
The point is that women are human bekngs and human beings are male and female. Female people have been oppressed as a sex class because of material realities around reproduction, embodiment, labour, and male violence.
Pretending sex does not matter is not feminism and pretending the presumably "feminine" gender identity of a man entitles him to the rights of human beings who happen to be female, is a male supremacist movement masquerading as feminism.
You telling me what I am or what I am not is not any kind of argument. It's just narcissism and patronizing sexism.
@laxcoach72@KillaKreww Sounds implausible? You must be a man.
Women are counselled after this cancer diagnosis that their husbands will probably leave them. Men marry within a few months of their wife’s passing. This isn’t a new phenomena. It’s a tale as old as time.
@Keri_J_Russell@jk_rowling I’ve not been in school for a long time either, but I do remember the boys going into my school bag and taking out my sanitary pads and taking the piss.
God knows what they would have done if they had been allowed to come into the toilets whilst I was on my very heavy period.
@skankpotato@sappholives83 No! I understood your point perfectly. If you have no intellectual response it’s cool, just say that rather than paint it as my ‘misunderstanding’ 🙄 It’s a really rather boring, and a very sloppy response to be honest 👍
@DavidJaeger05@Provokethoughtz You are 230 times more likely to be a victim of rape by another man than to be falsely accused by a woman fella.
Less than 3% of rapes end up with a prison sentence - even when there is strong evidence he did it 👍
Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can't go alone. You'll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you'll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I'll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don't take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
@skankpotato@sappholives83 Utter bollocks.
I have yet to see a site of 62m hits in 1 month of women who are drugging, raping, taping and uploading the videos to other women to watch.
I have yet to see a video of women play acting beating men up ‘when he says no’.
We aren’t the same fella 👍
