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

According to this article from 2015, which is full of sexist, patronizing & victim-blaming BS, the majority of correctional officers in female prisons are male coz this is what's best for incarcerated women.

You see, according to this asshole, "women are lead [sic] to prison because of their unhealthy relationships with men" and so to become rehabilitated incarcerated women need to be under the "care" and "protection" of men who can serve as a "positive role model" and show female prisoners that not all men are like the fathers, boyfriends, husbands, pimps, traffickers etc who sexually abused, beat, menaced, bullied, tyrannized and exploited them through their lives.

I kid you not.
