Yep. The thinking has to change on a base level. I know I'm getting tired of constantly pointing this out and having to argue the same points over and over and over again.

I know right? It should be Groupthink's tagline.

"We should exclude men from feminism" should not be the take away from my comment. Simply that the group in the position of privilege should not have their voice elevated above those who experiences of oppression the movement is about. It is not meant to be a condemnation of allyship. I don't think I ever said we…

I don't know, but I can say that my mainpage commenting has dropped of considerably due to nukinja. There doesn't seem much point anymore. I hate the new system enough that I have limited myself to GT commenting for the most part.

I like that too. I've certainly solidified a lot of my feelings on certain issues from being here. Certain things I've always been kind of on the fence about or confused about. There are a lot of really good thinkers in here. I can see the mainpage is getting worse and worse, that is certainly true, but I still find…

The patriarchy as understood generally, though, is the nebulous societal constructs which attempt to force everyone into a very narrow view of 'ideal'. That ideal is many things (white, straight, etc.) but always male and in the academic sense of patriarchal societies vs matriarchal ones, our society is a patriarchal…

I now desperately want a rhinestone T-Rex on my wall. Thanks for that. I wish that thing was cheaper, I'm just the person to own it!

Thanks. I was actually just editing in a line about that as you were commenting, it seems. That is a very good and important point that I missed at first. :)

I'm replying to you, but also kind of to everyone in this thread that is missing the point dramatically basically due to a very simplistic way of looking at both feminism and the lgbt community. I'm not meaning to sound aggressive, but in an effort to be efficient, I'm going to number my points and my comment is going…

I see nothing to disagree with there. I didn't mean to come off disagreeable. I can be brash at times. Sorry.

I am bi, and this narrative has been parroted to me several times. I have been asked if I was going to leave my male cisgender partner after transitioning. Not only is this narrative hurtful to trans men, especially to the gay and bi trans men community, it is also hurtful to lesbians who are forced into a "butch"…

" not at the expense of others, and not in the name of re-centering themselves in the primary position of power and importance."

The back of house is truly a safe haven for many...

Sighted in the wilds of Toronto!

Lots of drugs/booze and mean spirited jokes.

They earnestly think it's funny.

I have seen many a ridiculous and unnecessary bacon related product in my day made by this company and others and they appear to me to be mostly gag gifts so I'm going to assume this is a gag too.

Fair enough, my comment was specific to North America as the place where this crime was committed. I apologize for not leaving more room for other nations, who obviously have different dynamics than we do here and obviously were not a part of or probably very effected by Stonewall (I'm not sure). My comment about…

Well, three reasons (I'm not running around the internet looking for citations, so you can believe me or not, I don't care):
