@UN_Women @UN What data and method does this arbitrary sounding statistic come from?

Also, what is the expectation here? That women and girls have burden free existence. That men and boys pick up
all the slack when armed conflict breaks out?

@Taleiisin @nypost Ditto

@nypost I wonder if these women “ditching alpha males” are the same ones purchasing large octopus tentacle dildos?

[Tara van Dijk @TaravoidDijk]

@HeadWarriorTWM Or, at least, not for long.

@bjportraits Dworkists!

So it's evil, the height of patriarchy 🤬for “trans women” to bang on about “exploring one's gender identity” online, but good and empowering for political lesbians to encourage women to choose lesbianism as an act of resistance to “compulsory heterosexuality”?

Political lesbianism and transgender activism share an emancipatory premise that established sexual and gender norms must be challenged. However, whether encouraging others to challenge them is deemed empowering or “grooming” apparently depends on who's doing the encouraging.

@ZackBB @bjportraits I don't suppose you have any actual evidence to back up this wild claim about 1/2 the lesbians in the PNW.

The point of the OP was clearly not that men can be women.

@bjportraits Sounds like grooming, yes?

Feminism is an industry in which men are turned into despicable objects for use and abuse. https://t.co/zTF7ruJBUt

Me in @bjportraits blog and substack 🙏 whose thankless job it was to curb my sarcasm.

"Efforts to “smash The Patriarchy” coexist quite comfortably with elite plans to restructure the economy. Globalization and deindustrialization devastated much of men’s industrial employment in working-class communities across the West, while women entered the burgeoning service economy and professions in growing numbers. Feminism’s emphasis on sexual liberation, representation, and combating “male violence against women and girls” saw men’s reactions to this upheaval as patriarchal resistance to women’s emancipation..."

@UN_Women @UN Men and Boys still the disposable sex.
So much for equality 🤷🏻‍♀️
