Second wave feminist were vitally important for getting us onto the chess board in the first place. And I don't think it's anti-feminist to acknowledge that we're still playing a rigged game and that maybe the way forward isn't to keep slogging out for check, counter move, check, but to chuck the board off the table and start playing draughts instead. Without second wave feminism there wouldn't be a hope in hell of even contemplating a different future. Eta: I don't know how to play chess. Bet you could never tell. Just remembering the many,many feminist threads on here. We're playing chess and draughts while the men are nuking us ( or trying to) from space. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Void Posted Saturday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:14 PM From todays Australian. I cant read the article because I refuse to support Murdoch, but this headline has infuriated me. I'm guessing the article is something along the lines of 'girls should be home with babies'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Void Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM (edited) Thanks @Darryl What a patronizing heap of steaming sh*t. Edited Saturday at 10:41 PM by Romeo Void 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonMyrtle Posted yesterday at 12:11 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:11 AM Eewwwww. What an awful article. I don’t even know where to begin. So young women who feel strongly enough to protest about something are just bored and doing it for attention? Fark me. What a load of BS. Who is the author? They are the ones missing a sense of purpose in their life. I can’t even. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the author is relying on. “If you hate this image, then you must agree with my stupid article that generalises it, and links it to a dozen completely unrelated things”. It’s such terrible journalism. I really hope people aren’t stupid enough to fall for it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadnt heard of her so looked her up. She has an Israeli flag as her x profile banner. And spouting nonsense about failed aborted babies being denied lifesaving care.

Sincerely Posted yesterday at 01:22 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:22 AM (edited) We should each bring to collaborations whatever we have. DS just finished a college team race. The event was bad timing for one of his female team members, so he carried TWO backpacks (his and hers) for 70km and over 12 hours. Their team of four finished really strongly and placed very well (not giving specific details for identifying reasons).

Paddlepop Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago What a pile of racist, patronising, misogynistic crap that was. She gets paid to write that shit, and editors choose to publish it? WTF? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also written fearmongering stuff about trans people...and lots of material mocking supposedly "woke" people, all while popping up in right-wing corners of the universe. Yuck. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nom_de_plume Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I feel like asking her 'what is it about Millennial and Gen Z men that make them so predisposed to swallowing the red pill, incel, Andrew Tate agenda?' Why aren't they being held to account for failing to protest against something meaningful like, oh I don't know, women not being killed by their intimate partners? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
