that’s what bachelor in paradise is for

“Statistical erasure” would have been a more appropriate term, no doubt.

The violence these victims faced is heartbreaking, their deaths are tragic. I don’t want to take away from that.

I don’t think anyone wants Katie Roiphe or those French women included in their wave, do they? To me the French women are just the older iteration of Ivanka Trump type “empowerment” self-proclaimed feminists, they’re not radical thought leaders.

Briefly, first wave is suffragettes, second wave is Gloria Steinem et al during the 70s, and third-wave is Jezebel.

I’ve always defined third-wavers as the ones who let legislatures erode our abortion rights so they could talk about how much they liked porn, but that’s probably not what you’re looking for.

This is already starting to happen in the States.

Yep. The first, last and always “ism.”

Yup this is the cruz of the matter and this really should be the top post. Beyond religion, fascism, conservatism - beyond all of them it is patriachy that is the biggest threat to women everywhere. Its the largest system in place to keep the largest ever population down, that is literally half the human race.

Catholic women vote democrat?? Where? Genuine question! I was raised Catholic and know plenty of catholic women who are one issue voters, that issue being abortion. My best friend works for the catholic high school there, and her stories are insane. The extent of my sex education was telling me that condoms don’t…

Absolutely right! White non-evangelical women went overwhelmingly for Jones.

I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…

Somebody clue me in here, because I am ignorant. The thing that was wrong with her original tweet was:

Also, witch hunts pretty much tend to target women, not men.

Well, to be fair witches are real (I’ve met them, they’re cool and they’ve led our Wiccan ceremonies) but when they were hunted i dare say the reason and consequence could not have been more different than now. Did I mention my favorite Wiccan priestess was threatened (and her newborn baby’s life was threatened) by…

Biological sex is determined by who is sending and who is receiving gametes. Basically do you make sperms or do you make eggs.

“Sex also isn’t binary, because intersex people exist”

Yeah, it gets legally complicated because no one is prohibiting the prisoner from “being his gender” in a male prison. The prison system separates prisoners according to their *biological sex* which is fixed, and cannot be changed. Even with gender reassignment surgery to become a woman, you are still biologically…

Right...it is everyone else’s fault....not the person who screwed up and got sent to prison. No, no responsibility there.
