Every time I hear some idiotic intersectional "feminist" applaud the use of the word "womxn," I want to ask them why we still see the words "man" and "men." Why do we still hear about fathers and only "birthing parents?" Why did the brand "Always" have to remove the female Venus symbol from its logo, but Gilette is still "the best a ma…
Every time I hear some idiotic intersectional "feminist" applaud the use of the word "womxn," I want to ask them why we still see the words "man" and "men." Why do we still hear about fathers and only "birthing parents?" Why did the brand "Always" have to remove the female Venus symbol from its logo, but Gilette is still "the best a man can get?"
Why is it now feminist for women, mothers, and girls to be erased as if the mere words that describe us are obscene, but "mankind" still means all of humanity?
For some reason feminists are captive to the male patriarchy and don’t seem to get it. Trans rights? Hey men who think they are women are women too! Who cares if girls sports are literally destroyed? Guy calls himself a woman goes into women’s spa, gets naked but still has a Johnson. But he feeeels like a woman so those actual women who complain are excoriated. Mothers get disappeared for some bizarre lexicon that makes men who think they are women feel better.
Any real female that votes democrat is devaluing herself.
I've really got to push back against the idea that either party gives a half a dessicated shit for us. I'm a centrist liberal, and I'm sick of how both parties are in thrall to their whackos on either side. Centrist conservatives are no happier with things on their end.
I think that feminism, like most useful ideologies, is as subject to something like regulatory capture as anything else. A couple thousand years ago, some political rabblerouser in Judea says that rich people can't get into heaven, and now preachers have solid gold toothbrushes and gigantic mansions. The Republicans call themselves the party of family values and disdain same-sex marriage and "letting" gays and lesbians into the military*, and they keep getting snagged soliciting cheap sex in men's rooms. Now, feminism has been taken over from the inside by stupid women who prioritize boners over the welfare of actual women.
*And yes they did, I'm not a kid and I have seen 50 years of Republican and Democratic ideology with my very own eyes. I didn't learn this stuff from Instagram. I saw plenty of god-fearing Republicans who thought that AIDS was a godsend because it killed the right people and that "career girls" were the devil.
Make no mistake: I'm also seeing whackos calling themselves Democrats who call men in dresses women and actual women "cis" women, and who have zero idea what "apartheid" actually means if they can throw the word at Israel of all places.
We need to face facts -- both parties are in thrall to their whackos, and those of us in the middle are left with no real options. :-(
Bravo DarkWhite! I feel the same. I am so sick of double standards. Politics on both extremes of the spectrum seem to me to be so shallow—devoid of creativity, fresh ideas and actual solutions. I also think the adage “a house divided cannot stand” really applies to this country right now.

And why the FUCK is this now feminist?!
