As an American, I rather appreciated the following warning:

Expansion of Power

Exploiting affirmative action and the unofficial protected status of women in this country is only a single way this bill is going wrong. The ultimate danger comes from giving Congress and regulatory bodies ambiguous control over our daily lives.

It all comes back to that problem of identity. The government can now accuse you of discrimination and use that as grounds for all kinds of abuse of power. The burden of proof disappears. Anyone can claim any identity they want.

Since this bill goes out of its way to remove clear and concise definitions from the law, it obscures any hardline protections for citizens from their government.

Essentially, this utilizes the same mentality as hate speech laws. When things are gray and murky, the government need only win in the court of public opinion. The court of law becomes their uncontested domain.

You'll hate the source, but that warning is worth hearing, IMO. https://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/everything-wrong-with-the-equality-act/ Edit spelling Edit2: History matters! Learn US and women's history! https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs

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
