this is not a debate sub! We will get around to making the debate sub for anyone with questions about gender critical ideas or radical feminism. We are migrating over from Reddit after the bannings.

Female is Not a Feeling. We won't go down quietly.

Re-forming wherever we can: Spinster.xyz

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." - Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts

This is what gets me. I am Christian and when I was younger I used to spend a lot of time on theology boards (mainly lurking) to watch the debates between atheists and Christians. I also read some of Richard Dawkins' books such as The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion.

The atheists claimed to have Science and Logic on their side. They were all so proud of their rationality and critical thinking skills.

Now I see that Dawkins, Philip Pullman and Sam Harris have all signed up to 'twaw' to a greater or lesser degree and I just raise an eyebrow. I used to have a suspicion that super hardcore atheists were driven as much by emotion as by logic and this just supports my view.

I think the cognitive dissonance will have to get some of them in the end, though. If they are as rational as they say they are!
