Levine is EVIL. You can rearrange the the first four letters in his name to spell EVIL (sorry to others with that name).

His sexual fetish comes first and foremost and EVERY Democrat and some GOP have now decided validating MEN'S SEXUAL FETISHES should replace women's civil rights.

Of all the crap I've seen in my lifetime in the USA, this is the sickest EVER to come out of DC.

I actually occasionally agreed with Ron Paul RE his antiwar stance, which Rand sometimes echoes, but normally can't stand Rand. However today, Rand Paul stood up for children. Thank you, Rand Paul!

When will the left speak up about this issue?

[–]BEB 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Women on the left (many of us!) have been speaking up.

I actually have had some productive conversations with older women activists who hadn't thought the whole TWAW through until I walked them through the complete insanity of it all. Then they got it. So I'm hoping that true Leftys, especially older Leftys, will get it if we keep screaming.

Glad you were able to get through to them. I talked about it to my mom and she just kept declaring TWAW. I explained some of the risks to women in prisons and in women's shelters, citing specific examples, and she actually didn't believe me. She said the events I was describing were too bizarre and couldn't possibly be real. This is why I think we really need to focus on documenting the evidence for the effects of these laws. I think her perspective is an example of the fact that middle-class women are sometimes unable to see the truth because they really do not have any experience of what life is like for women who are lower on the scale of income, social power, and family support, or of how having female biology creates material disadvantages for those women that make them vulnerable to misbehavior by men.

Try showing your mom WomenAreHuman.com, and walk her through the whole site, not just the front page.

WomenAreHuman.com is an excellent resource because it covers a lot, including crime.

It's every women who will be affected, so perhaps tell your mom that if the Equality Act or similar legislation passes, when she needs elder care she will not be able to choose the sex of her intimate care giver.

When she goes to the airport, the TSA screener could be a biological male and if she refuses to allow him to touch her intimate areas she might not be allowed to fly.

But I do think that WomenAreHuman.com would be a great place to start, because it has actual real-world examples of what you've been trying to get across to your mom. Good luck!

Good ideas!

The U.S. needs a good organization. WoLF is too conservative.

[–]BEB 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

WoLF is radical feminist, and (I might be remembering this wrong) Marxist?

I thinking maybe that's one of the reasons I didn't join: I'm a HUGE admirer of WoLF - they are Goddesses - but I'm not a joiner and I'm not a Marxist and I think that was why.

Two other REAL feminists orgs exist in the US now, Feminists In Struggle and the Women's Human Rights Campaign, although I don't know if they're more to the left than WoLF.

Have you seen the latest Adam Curtis documentaries? I thought he was going pro-trans but by the end it's clear he is damning the movement because it's based entirely on individualism so lacks real, constant power outside of the money of a few rich people.

The gender critical movement has real power because it's based on many women ignoring their individual wants and needs and coming together for the cause while most people are more concerned about living their "true self". You might not think you are a joiner but there are so many push factors to scare women away from their rights at the moment just to overcome those you have signed up to support other women so you count as one of the team.

I'm sure if you told WOLF you hate Marxism but you'll still work with them they would except that. If you tried the same thing with antifa they'd probably hunt you down, such is the massive difference in commitment to the actually cause rather than identity and feelz.

Yeah, the ladies of WoLF are very cool and probably wouldn't skin me alive like Antifa would.

I don't hate Marxism, I just don't know enough about it. And at this age, the thought of exploring it exhausts me ;-)

I don't know who Adam Curtis is, but I will check it out when I have time.

Right now, I am consumed with stopping the US Equality Act in the Senate, because we women lose so incredibly much if it becomes law.

Marxism is what infected feminism and has brought you fine ladies to your knees. Go ahead, learn more about it, there are millions of deaths to learn about.

I've never seen them claim to be Marxist, but the Heritage Foundation collaboration was a huge fuckup.

[–]BEB 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

In my opinion, it wasn't, and I find many stances of the Heritage Foundation distateful. I am, right now, allying with conservative women against the Equality Act. Why? Well, I've allied with conservatives in the past, on one specific issue, being honest with them on where I stand on their other issues, so we don't discuss those, much less fight about them, and our efforts have been successful.

Conservative activists are very well-organized. They don't sit around, but go out and get things done. They are often quite pleasant people on a one-to-one level.

I'm not talking about the Klan when I talk about conservatives. I'm talking, in this current case, about women who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. I believe the government should stay out of marriage altogether beyond allowing the civil aspects for everyone, and then let marriage be an individual church, religion, whatever entity is marrying the couple's, choice. Separation of church and state.

But while I disagree with these women on gay marriage, and on a US/Israeli attack on Iran (they are Christian Zionists), we are all women. The rights and safety of the women and children we love are in dire jeopardy. We must unite as women across party lines to put out this raging inferno and then can go back to fighting on opposite sides of other issues.

And I'm old enough to remember when Republicans and Democrats often worked in a bi-partisan manner on single issues. It made the government run much more respectfully, if not smoothly.

However, I firmly believe that each of us should not be judged on our own plan of action and each work towards our goal our own way, because it's going to take all of us and whatever individual or group effort we put in, to take down the GenderNaut. tl;dr "You do you" and I'm not saying that in a rude or snarky way(!!!) - I just think it's going to take all of us, doing what we think is best, to stop the gender lobby.

To put it into perspective, I finally became old enough to vote in the most recent election. Also, I know women have been speaking out, but I meant actual Democratic politicians, who should at the very least react to the blatant censorship of it. You're right that we should be able to collaborate across party lines, but nowadays, people see that and our stance becomes right-wing in their minds. I think my initial belief that WoLF is conservative was incorrect. I'd like to see WoLF on some platforms with a left-bias to change some minds, but no doubt they're being blocked out. If there are any genuinely unbiased news sites/platforms, please direct me.

Congratulations on being old enough to vote - what a thrill.

WoLF was (and is) completely blocked by mainstream and Leftist media. So are any individuals and groups critical of gender ideology - it's the most complete black out I've seen of Leftists by the media except perhaps in the run up to Iraq War II.

The Democrats as a party are 10000000% behind Big Pharma, whoops, I meant the Gender Lobby. Individual Democrats might be uneasy, but they aren't allowed to speak out. Which is unreal because I can't recall another issue where not one Democrat broke with the party line.

There are the feminist sites - Feminist Current, AfterEllen.com, WomenAreHuman.com and a few others, but those are not news sites. There are also some sites that will occasionally publish GC op eds: Quillette, UnHerd, UnCommonGround - also not news sites but at least read by people other than feminists.

Congrats on coming of age. And kudos to you for being able to see and openly admit that your previous characterization and castigation of WoLF was incorrect. Young people like you give me hope.

PS: I was calling it the Erasure of Women Act, but now I think I'll stick with the Men's Sexual Fetish Act.

And because of the election "situation" (being kind) in Georgia, the Senate now has a Woke Majority. Every single Dem and probably a few hateful GOP will vote for the Men's Sexual Fetish Act.

NOW we have to hope it won't kick in right away AND that the GOP LANDSLIDE coming in 2022 (unless they keep the unmonitored mail-in voting scheme going) wil make undoing this INSANITY a priority before any of us gets assaulted by or ARRESTED for protesting against men with fetishes in our private spaces.
