So the fujoshit won. Well, the upside is this should peak a lot of gay men, hopefully. But I'm still not particularly hopeful that they'll do much to fight this, that seems to not hold male interest lately, even gay ones.

Also, TIME will never recover from the various TRA/POMO/Queer Theory clownery they've been publishing these past few years. so many major media outlets and periodicals and newspapers have totally lost my respect.

-Demonisation of us by other LGBT people and their hyper woque allies. -Increasing pressure by others into loosening our boundaries or "working through" our homosexuality (aka another form of conversion therapy). -Increasing pressure by others to identify as something else (i.e being told lesbianism is exclusionary/too restrictive (no fucking shit), it's uncool, outdated, etc) -The gradual erosion of the meaning of lesbianism which results in many people not actually understanding us, and results in non-lesbians "identifying" as lesbians. There are more but others have mentioned them. Personally, it is becoming harder to exist as a lesbian. When I first came out I felt secure in my community, that I could tell people "I'm gay/a lesbian" and people would respect that. Times have really changed…

This is the re-introduction of the urinary and menstrual leash that was around western female necks at the turn of the last century. Male supremacists back then were opposed to installing public washrooms for females because it would encourage them to spend too much time outside of the house. Of course there are still many women and girls facing this issue in other countries around the world. India comes to mind, for example. Just as women there are beginning to take off the urinary and menstrual leash, western women are having men place it right back around our necks and are tugging on it like it's a choke chain when we resist.

Here is an example of Welsh school girls unable to menstruate and attend school at the same time without being bullied by male pupils, causing them to miss school and damage their education because they had the misfortune of being born female under male supremacy: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/education/pupils-missing-school-because-dont-15839558

Okay, you've peaked my interest. I have some Esperanto books from way back, like I have Anne Frank's Diary and some old educational comics from the seventies. I have no involvement with any Esperanto community, however, so I had no idea about any Esperanto and the (is this a good way of phrasing it?) Pomo queer community (so like including QT+). I've never heard this before, I had no idea this was a thing. I don't hate Esperanto, but never delved into it much. I already know some Romance languages, so with a dictionary I can practically read it already. Anyway, this is really interesting. Is there a community, however small, of people who have learned Indio?

I have indigenous ancestry but it has been, well, suppressed in my family I guess is the best way to say it (my country is one of many that committed cultural genocide big time and in fact in the small town I used to live in the local Nation's language had one living speaker left, just one!). Learning more about indigenous vocabulary, even if it isn't all from where I'm from, would be nice I think.

Would you be open to having a language learning course based on Indio created on a language learning app? Sorry for inundating you with questions, haha.

There is a subset of this movement literally pushing gay/non-gender stereotype conforming eugenics in the form of sterilizing kids, and they want us to believe we're on the wrong side of history. I feel in time this will all be looked back on like the lobotomy movement of the early-mid 20th century is now. Insane, immoral bigotry disguised as 'medicine', only this time's even worse as the profit motive behind drugs and cosmetic surgery is a hell of a lot bigger than ramming an ice pick up someone's nose.

There's a lot to criticize about "the pill", plenty of feminists know it and are the ones leading the criticism.

It's funny, cause saying "all lives matter" as a response to "blm" does sound really awful and tone deaf and it fails to recognize why black people need a liberation movement separate from everyone else to fight white supremacy. Yet, these people co-opted feminism, which is supposed to be for the liberation of females, for themselves. "Feminism is for everyone" is the equivalent of "all lives matter", and people (males and handmaids) co-opting feminism are failing to recognize why females (women only) need a liberation movement separate from everyone else to fight male supremacy. And of course, if you point this out to them, they reee like there's no tomorrow.

[–]ShieldMaiden 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The vast majority of people, especially men but women also because the system is stupid, don't even understand how bra sizing works. I mean, looking at me, most people would clock me as a "b cup" or maybe even an "a". But my actual correct (but nigh impossible to find in stores) bra size is either a 28D or a 30C. Most women who have D cups don't line up at all with what men imagine D cups to look like in their minds. Also, my breast shape would matter if I cared about wearing a bra (I don't). Wide base, shallow, full. I never hear them mention shape or position unless they get hit with tuberous breasts (higher incidence of this deformity in men taking cross-sex hormones, apparently).

This man is claiming he's a 32A? Hm, I'm suspicious. He could be a very slender man, but most men aren't going to have a 32 inch ribcage. That is what that number refers to, and even a lot of women's ribcages aren't that small. I get the feeling he's using "32A" as a generic term for "small breasts" while having no clue how bras sizing actually works. Naturally, as a man, he won't bother to learn cause only the base minimum effort is needed to LARP as a woman.

Blaire (né Robbie) has talked about how his gay boyfriend is actually not gay and how traps aren't gay (he made a video about it, apparently)… so yeah, I think he's a TiM who really likes the idea that straight men, not chasers, might be into him. Sadly for him, that's not possible. Only bi and gay guys go for TiMs, no straight man will because that would by definition make him not straight. Oh well. Anyway, I think that's why he bimbo-ifies/pornifies himself, he likes the idea of appealing to straight men.

Cool, I'm an atheist, too, born and raised. I find that irrelevant in this case, but thanks for letting me know. I find paganism/classical goddesses and gods really interesting, too. Like I said, I get your reasoning about why those associations would make sense, and I think they're cooler than the real reasons for the colour/sex thing, and again, I left my comment not only for you but for anyone to come across and learn about the cultural origins of these associations (in the Occident at least, and I know that for most people, including myself until recently, it is not well-known that the colours have switched around more than once, not just the one time recently). I wasn't trying to attack you or your ideas at all. As for sources, you are welcome to look them up. It is believed by most historians that I've come across (particularly ones who specialize in textiles and clothing and the like) that blue for girls comes from the Virgin Mary, and red and pink for boys comes from St. George's Cross and the fact that Jesus is often depicted wearing red. (Some will say red/pink for boys was reinforced by other military uniforms throughout time, this may be true also.)

I think no more need be said about this. It's not a big deal and it feels like you're taking it really personally/seriously. I don't know why you're still replying, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.

I know colours are just colours, but the historical reasons I gave for why blue has been associated with female children and pink with male children are correct. It's fine that spiritual people have assigned water as feminine (and Earth, whereas air and fire are masculine, all arbitrary but fine by me, whatever), it's fine that this is an old association, therefore that "makes sense" as a girls' colour, but that wasn't the reason. If I had no idea about history, I'd agree with you that those could very well be the reasons for the colour associations, even though they've jumped back and forth more than once (with pink being for girls, and blue for boys). But it had nothing to do with elementals, that's all I was trying to say. The 'system' was pretty loose (switching back and forth occasionally), and mostly took inspiration from religious iconography. Incidentally, my comment may be of no interest to you, but someone else who doesn't know about these historical quirks might be interested if they come across my comment. Sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention, I just wanted to give the reason for the colour associations as I knew them. It was religion (Christianity) that inspired these things, not astrology or elementals or alchemy, as (way) cool(er) as that would have been, as I love the aesthetics of those things a lot more than Christian iconography.

And yeah, we're on a GC forum, I took it as a given that you would be against the idea that one colour must be associated with one sex, and the other sex with another colour, and never the twain should meet. I mean, I think everyone here agrees with that, other wise we wouldn't be very gender critical.

"Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man."

Well, it works the same for girls and women. We are groomed and indoctrinated to believe in the male creative force in the universe when pretty much all the evidence we see around us as kids in nature tells us that only females create life. Just more lies men tell, wishful thinking on their part. Unfortunately, if you indoctrinate and groom people from the time their born and gaslight them all their lives, they will be the greatest tool in their own oppression, leaving the oppressor with little work to do and much reward to reap from his forefathers' lies. When Gail Dines interviewed men who had sexually abused little girls, she was told by them that they had little grooming to do, as "society had done most of the work for them". Same deal with religion, really. Plus, if everyone around you believe in one thing, it makes you feel crazy not believe it, even if you're right and they're all wrong.

As for me, I was lucky to be raised by an atheist father, he went apostate at the age of ten and has nothing but hate for the Church, so I was never baptized. It's comforting to know I'm not on a roster somewhere in the recesses of The Vatican.

Blue was associated with girls and women because it's the colour of the Virgin Mary's veil, not because of Neptune, which is a planet named after a male god. Red, and by extension pink, was associated with soldier's uniforms, Christian militaristic emblems (St. George's Cross is red on white), and so on. Pink is like a watered down version of this 'soldier's' red. It's true that Mars is red and named after the male god of war, but there are also female goddesses of war, and the most feminine planet besides Earth (which is largely blue-looking) is Venus, which is yellowish (a bit orangey, too), and that colour as far as I know has never been associated with girls and women in the Occident. So I don't think planets have anything to do with it, at least I've never heard of that before and it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Also, the pink/blue thing has switched around before, apparently there was a period in 18th century France where pink was for baby girls and blue for baby boys, I think this was pretty exclusively relegated to the upper echelons of society and the etiquette around decorating bassinets and dressing the babies.

No one passes, though, except maybe castrati (male eunuchs castrated before puberty, like Jazz Jennings, although even he doesn't really look like a woman, he looks very much like a boy who's puberty was halted and was fed cross-sex hormones, maybe FFS would make him look more like a woman). All TiMs who went through male puberty still 100% look like men, the biggest tell imo is the skull size. They look like bobble heads compared to women.

Blair is 100% a man. He puts down other women and other TiMs because ehe thinks they don't look as good as him, he photoshops to hell and back and still doesn't "pass" (no men pass, it's not a thing), he's a blatant misogynist, and he's a plastic surgery addict like Gigi Gorgeous (not trying to rip on him for this, but it shows he's not mentally stable imo). His idea of how a woman moves and talks and acts are all lifted from sassy gay sitcom characters from the 90s, basically he is a poor caricature of a woman, essentially a permanent drag queen, nothing more. He doesn't belong in female-only spaces, idgaf about that video he made where he said he couldn't really use men's rooms. He's still a man, he's got a dick and a Y chromosome, he belongs in the men's room of the gender neutral bathroom if there is one. Not the women's room.

A lot of women musicians weren't being hired when they were actually seen, but when they were only heard and not seen, suddenly they sounded better and a lot more skilled to the people vetting them. Funny that. Also, women are kept out of music professionally in other ways, too. For example, piano size: women have smaller hands and can incur permanent nerve damage from playing instrument designed for and by men (completely forgetting that the female sex exists, as usual). There have already been extremely talented pianists' careers ruined over this. There are now 7/8 size piano keys for women, but the pianos that have those cost about $10,000 (USD, I think), and so not easy to get access to. There is only one digital keyboard with smaller keys and it only has 61, not 88, keys. So not enough to practice classical pieces on for auditions. There is another upright piano with 7/8 keys for 5 grand, that's more affordable but still expensive Some universities have thankfully purchased these 7/8 key size grand pianos so some students can access them, but there's only one manufacturer so far meeting this very widespread demand. Just another example of women being ignored and erased for so long, this is an issue that should ahem been addressed ages ago.

So, yeah, blind auditions and anything else that makes it physically possible for women to become pro musicians where they previously would be prevented by the extent male supremacy is a good thing. Getting rid of blind auditions is dumb as shit, they might as well stop making those smaller pianos, too.

I'm really really late but I'm sorry, Blair is not "very convincing", he photoshops to hell and back, only looks vaguely kinda feminine under the controlled lighting he films with, doesn't pass at all in candids, pads his hips in the wrong place, etc. There are no TiMs that pass, they all have giant male heads, hands, etc. The head size is the best give-away. I actually think some, maybe even a lot, of men are bad at clocking them, though. So that might be why he had trouble in the men's room.

The only TiMs that can come close to passing are the male eunuchs that were castrated very early in or before puberty. Basically modern day castrati, but brainwashed by parents to live as girls instead of singing opera. And they still end up looking more like overgrown male children than actual adult women when all's said and done. Plus, they are permanently mentally and physically under-developed, basically permanently stunted in a child's body and mind, so not worth it to 'sort of pass'. Lupron should be illegal to prescribe to kids.

Apparently. He became especially interested in women's sex-based rights because his wife needed an abortion, the kind where she medically needed it or she might die, yeah that kind; but being in Ireland she had to travel abroad (thankfully UK is close-by) to get one. Naturally the need to travel abroad to save her own life really brought home the realities of being female under male supremacy for him, I guess. I dunno how into feminism he was before that, but I heard that was a huge wake-up call for him. Anyway, some of the bullying online directed at them (because of him speaking again TRAs) has to do with the medically necessary abortion his wife had (not that it being medically necessary makes it more 'valid', but it does seem especially egregious when people are fine with the woman – and fetus, btw – dying because fuck women, right?).

I'm really late to this but could they be religious carvings? Given that is was the religious instigating these burnings (not carrying them out technically, as they had a neat little "loophole" for murdering indirectly).

It sucks that we need to rely on right-wing news sources for this kind of thing. Most people aren't even in favour, but are afraid to say otherwise, giving the distorted view that everyone not rightwing is okay with this.

The way to get an invite code is through twitter or spinster.xyz

I was already on spinster and don't have twitter so I messaged @Ovarit@spinster.xyz and they replied within hours with an invite code! Hope that helps! :)

Also, this is literally "Mrs." Garrison from South Park when he got a sex change. He wanted to be able to get pregnant so he could get an abortion and scramble the fetus's brains or whatever. South Park predicted this:

All the TiMs who so badly want to be female but don't know anything about female anatomy… can they not even pick up a book? Pregnancy is so complicated, even if some insanely unethical mad scientist did transplant a uterus into a male and they managed to create a gestating fetus, the pregnancy would just kill the man. His organs won't move, his spine isn't the right shape (paralyzation from pinching nerves in the spine, anyone?), and worst of all, without all the genes that females have the unleash what is essentially chemical warfare on the fetus to keep it in check, the thing would cannibalize the 'parent'.

This makes more sense than calling it "feminine", not need to use a euphemism to cover up the word 'menstrual', the euphemism was surely only used because of the shame and disgust (from men) around our anatomy (that they want total power and ownership over). The fact that is "better" accommodates TiFs and NBs is a moot point for me, calling them menstrual products should have been the default since day one anyway.

Yes, he deserves credit. He gets some hate for it, too, but strangely as far as I know most of the doxxing and physical threats are directed at his wife! It's almost as if...

Meanwhile HG Wells stole from a woman writer, Florence Deeks. https://www.nytimes.com/1932/11/01/archives/author-pushes-suit-against-hg-wells-florence-a-deeks-takes-charge.html The case is considered "not proven" to this day. Not the only instance, I'm sure.

Also: thanks to centuries of the doctrine of coverture, plenty of women were legally unable to make money while married, and so published works under their husband's names (the husband receiving any profit from the work, of course). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverture#Criticism and see this for an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Taylor_Mill#Own_work

"These marriage and property laws, or "coverture," stipulated that a married woman did not have a separate legal existence from her husband. A married woman or feme covert was a dependent, like an underage child or a slave, and could not own property in her own name or control her own earnings, except under very specific circumstances." https://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/wes/collections/women_law/

So, try not to let these men gaslight you into thinking women were do-nothings for all of history. Men claiming women contribute nothing to society (except as being mothers and wives, which they consider a burden while also not wanting us to be independent???) they sound exactly like anti-semites blaming Jewish people for historically being more likely to be bankers and money-lenders, even though Christians were often specifically barred from that kind of work because it was seen as "spiritually unclean" and "dirty" and "sinful". Meanwhile, Jewish people in diaspora were being pogrom'd over and over again and were just trying to survive as a reviled minority. Men create a system of male supremacy where women can't legally operate as individuals with free expression or the right to their own property, and then blame them for "not accomplishing anything". The things is, in spite of all the artificial legal, mental and physical hurdles men erected, women still made history time and time again. They can't keep us down.

Wow, I'm really late but, any chance this could be made into a google docs or something, so that we can all see it? I'm really interested in these kinds of blatant, undeniable examples of misogyny/expecting women, but not men, to acquiesce. It's awesome that you've been collecting stuff like that.
