@amydiehl “I’m not a feminist, but…”
Then proceeds to make the argument for feminism, practically word for word.
I suspect the disconnect comes from feminism’s growing alignment with the left. Most women want what feminism offers, but without the extreme leftist (anti woman) add-ons.
@JKRowling231 Or what?
On sports, They have defied the executive order for nearly 2 years and they will defy the Scotus ruling as well. Appreciate the sentiment, Mr. Trump, but words are cheap.
@boolou2020 I am just asking that you not let them try to make the debate about “trans,” or “gender identity,” two of the reddest of red herrings. It’s about males in female sport - no matter how they “identity.”
@Matt_Calkins Thank you, Matt, but in the interest of journalistic integrity and, well, I’ll just say it, truth …
This is not about “trans” athletes in women’s sports. It’s about males in female sports. It makes no difference whether the male identifies as “trans” or anything else. Please.
@KnownHeretic With respect, it’s not even a TW issue.
The T is a red herring, the W is a falsehood.
It’s an M issue. So simple.
And so infuriating that we must repeat this over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
@Real_Dystopia Women get no credit for being the demographic that perpetrates but a small fraction of the most hideous crimes.
In the rare event that we do, however, we get significantly more blame.
@hothingsgirlsay It’s a linguistic arms race that we can never win.
We say “biological” women, they say they, too, are “biological” women. We say “actual” or “real,” they say the same about themselves.
Funny thing, they’re right about the “biological” part.
Might as well just say “cis.”
@Riley_Gaines_ Amen, Riley. I have been making this point for years, to little avail.
We are speaking in their language, accepting their framing, raising the white flag with every utterance of those five ridiculously redundant syllables.
We might as well say “cis.”
