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

Thank you. That’s how I feel too. Fathers are let off the hook, the moms are the ones who have to quit our careers and then do our best to provide therapy we aren’t trained to provide.

I still blame myself too even though I know it’s not logical.

I actually am just recovering from a bout of depression due to all the stress of being a special needs mom. I was hospitalized and had to stay in a mixed-sex ward. I was in a hallway just for women and lo and behold there was a TiM across the hall from me. The staff conducted room checks every 15 minutes and asked me to keep my door ajar (it was a locked ward with each room requiring key card access) and I said no way due to the presence of men on the ward, and a nurse had the audacity to say to me “but there are no men in your hallway.”
