Ive seen that #notjustwomen bollocks on twitter surrounding the womens march. I was so pissed off at it.

How can you be so clueless as to how insulting that is?

It also utterly invalidates my gender identity. I am a woman because I have a female body and because others treat me a certain way due to not having a male body. Yet suddenly my female body should be written about as if it was gender-neutral (people get pregnant now or bodies)! That leaves me without an identity and the other side tells me that this outcome is annihilating.

You know what, i have never looked at it that way that it leaves women without a "gender identity" if we are just birthing people or menstruators.

That is actually a really good point.

Yes, it's inherently what TRA do, try to co-opt feminism, hijack it, which they did successfully in USA and UK and voided feminist movements of their relevance cause after all if females don't exist then the patriarchy doesn't either...

Feminists have been incapable of gate-keeping their own movement, that's the consequence of it. Feminism was hijacked by men, islamists, "anti-zionists", and what not...

Yep. They are parasites which eventually take over and rule the host. Your point about Islamists is so spot on; when the women's march aligned itself with them I chuckled. The women's march joining a group who oppresses women as a matter of course. But hey, Hilary lost so all sanity went straight out the window. The enemy of my enemy and all that, and 4 years later, Feminists have to tiptoe around people with penises or they'll find themselves under attack. This is the problem when you let anyone and everyone in. The left has become everything the right said it would, and now they're already starting to eat their own. 2022 will be an interesting mid term election. Plenty of people who were personally turned off by Trump will go right back to the republicans.

Oh, you are so right!! But I've also seen that so many moderate conservatives and lateish century liberals were ecstatic the neocons and other extreme elements of the Republican party HATED Trump. Many of these moderates may also feel politically homeless relatively soon depending upon how soon and vengeful the extremists take total party power.

Edit. I envision both parties trying to squeeze the political center out of existence (along with the middle class). Or, familiar with Germany history anyone? Time will tell if I'm nuts, or not. Either way, women are screwed.

Yes. And you forgot "people with uterus". We are basically facing unspeakable torture, government intervening in the most intimate part of our lives... Yet feelings of some trans folks are equally important. Go fuck yourself you super woke anti-woman crowd.

If it were "not just women" there would be no abortion bans, forced sterilizations, neglect of research into and care of female-only health conditions, female genital mutiliation, etc etc.

It says everything about a movement that feels entitled to supplant protests by women about an issue which affects their lives and bodies, with whining about validation of their own genderfeels.

If there's a silver lining, it's that gender radicals' demands for female erasure are becoming harder to overlook; this shit peaks a lot of people.

You should really stop using social media. It’s not good for you.

Ugh they are so annoying and obsessed with us! They hate it when we talk about our issues and want us to fight their causes.
