Hot take: nothing about sex is a need. Men frame sex as a need to guilt women into sex.

Oh wow that sure was a lot of expletives, which is pretty refreshing, tbh. Most of the time GCers on Twitter couch their language in the most proper of terms so people can't nitpick their language but rather their argument (TRAs don't actually debate, their position is indefensible).

This is just going to confuse normies.

Sigh. I admit I am disappointed Ovarit isn't a female only site. I need to come to terms that I had HOPED it would be female only. by missdaisycan in GenderCritical

The mods have a lot of practice banning trolls with the original r/GC so it may be less of a problem than you're thinking.

I miss the old r/GC where women would be mean to men who came in to give their opinions on things that didn't concern them.

Most women go there because they are against the whole TIMs in women's spaces/sports. Radical feminism is decidedly unpopular with a lot of women because it means acknowledging the men in their lives are part of the problem. This is why liberal feminism has taken root, it turns the focus back onto women and their choices.

Men realize that gender ideology is absurd because they understand men do weird and sometimes morally/legally unacceptable shit for their boners.

Academia used to be such a vaunted profession and now it feels like no one with a scrap of common sense would dare go into it. Which is a really a shame, because common sense is direly needed these days.

I had a former close friend who first came out to me as trans. He and I had drifted apart due to moving across the country, but he knew that I wouldn't judge him. And I didn't. I had never been a fan of the whole 'TWAW' mantra because I don't like being told what to think and it came across as overly religious and preachy, but I really didn't mind treating transwomen as women. I gave him open feedback about his clothing choices and picking out cosmetics. One day we were chatting and he brought up the bane to transwomen that is TERFs. I didn't know what that meant so I started researching and found r/GC and their arguments were cogent and made sense. I didn't know what an AGP was but my friend was a textbook case. I started reading Andrea Dworkin and I had never had feminist literature resonate with me like she did. This newfound class analysis made me see so much misogyny which I would have dismissed before. I especially saw it in the trans rhetoric toward women/TERFs.
