By the way you have defined it. In reality, countries where women are victims of FGM, child bride marriage & are denied education it's not "legal to be a woman"
Number of countries where BEING a woman is ILLEGAL: 0 Number of movements where GAY men have collectively organized against women’s rights: 0 Number of straight women that insist gay men are just as much their oppressors as straight men: like 100 000 for some reason

I'm assuming this about abortion but this is unironically the entirety of the NHS. "are you dying right now? wait 12 hours, mmm, you're not dying right now, well here's an appointment, we'll see you in 2033"
Nobody should have to be “close enough to death” to get the care they need.

We have reached the point in the culture where they are writing buddy cop fanfic about The Great Gatsby, filming it and airing it. You've run out of ideas for cops shows, the well is dry. Could have at least done Anne Shirley as a hard-bitten gumshoe.
A modern-day police procedural take on ‘THE GREAT GATSBY’ is in the works at NBC. The series follows Jay Gatsby, a charming investigator with a gift for reading human behavior, and Nicole “Nicky” Carraway, a cop with dreams of becoming a writer. (Source: Deadline)

I don't even know what they're mad about anymore, I'm not sure they know either.
Who tf is they here? George Lucas? What is this even trying to say? Why do idiots keep claiming to understand Star Wars?

I really hate the way this conversation is infantilized, you can't have a conversation about the built-in abuse in the industry, the outcomes for both women trapped there & the impact on all women without someone saying "just say u think its gwoss & icky & go" like a toddler.
Leftist discourse on sex work would improve a lot if a lot of leftists just admitted to themselves that they think exchanging money for sex is icky and gross and people who pay for sex are icky losers, instead of saying stuff whose implication makes life worse for SWers.

On tiktok they said the only good bit of purple rain was the bit that went viral on there. It's so over.

They do, they just think letting her die is the appropriate punishment for women's objections to groping.
Weiß nicht ob ich lachen oder weinen soll, dass Männer hier tatsächlich diskutieren, ob sie eine Frau reanimieren sollen, weil sie anscheinend den Unterschied zwischen Reanimation und begrapschen nicht kennen.

There was a case years ago of a man who consented to be eaten by a cannibal. The cannibal got life in prison for murder. Someone may consent to violence or murder if they wish, but that doesn't & shouldn't change the assault charges you get afterwards.
I'm trying to phrase this carefully because I think it would be helpful if Caroline withdrew this particular tweet The implication here is that women's consent, or even their requests, should carry no weight. I think that's quite concerning. Ethically speaking. I have refused

I've had the worst and weirdest few weeks, been v. ill but I've got so much adrenaline I can't crash and sleep. In the twilight zone. Then I logged on one day, saw something about a fascist bookshop, and decided to log straight off.

It's not abuse if an adult doesn't get treated like a small child on their birthday. You seriously have absolutely zero real problems if you call shit like this abuse.
A lot of men live like this, but nobody calls it abuse.

Nobody who claims the illness is a mental issue has ever had a good argument for why someone would choose to suffer & be bedbound for decades, then choose euthanasia. If it can be cured with a few sessions of CBT. Why Beth Dobbin would go from Olympic athlete to bedbound.

I hate this take, many of us got auto-immune diseases as children. It affects women more because there's no research done on female health issues like this. No, you didn't get MS or Ulcerative Colitis because of female rage, you got it because no one researches why

we are more prone to illness. The majority of cancer patients under 50 are women too. Why? We need funding, not woo woo.

Why does this trigger people so much? I remember feeling so uncomfortable on so many occasions as a child because I didn't want to be hugged. Why does it make you so mad to respect children?
🇮🇪 The Irish state has published an advert discouraging grandparents from hugging their grandchildren, as part of a campaign designed to promote "consent".

Can we leave behind the idea that sexualising women, especially in violent contexts is somehow progressive, leave it all the way back in the 1960's?
This genuinely is a sign of rising conservatism what do you mean nudity was scrapped from the revival of the violence and nudity franchise

It's lucrative to be a woman and make a whole career grifting misogyny for your male audience.
When I say that women lack the concept of an honorable enemy, this is what I’m talking about. Obviously a lot of the Democrats’ new vindictiveness is Trump derangement, but the Great Feminization is part of the story, too. Men understand that the other guy is a professional just like me, and we should have an open fight by fair rules and both go home at the end of the day. For women, conflict isn’t over until the other side is gone and they never have to talk to them again. Men believe in hierarchy, so a fight is about establishing dominance within the hierarchy and making the other guy subordinate. Women don’t, everything is egalitarian and consensus-driven, so if you do get conflict, the only possible outcome is total exclusion from the group. It makes sense that the Democratic Party is abandoning old-fashioned ideas about honorable conflict as it becomes more dominated by women.
