Well Twitter and Facebook accounts from local/state/national drag and trans individuals, the polite etiquette is to not expose male genitals in women’s areas. Darren, according to etiquette, should have kept her bottoms on.

She has indecency charges from before she legally changed her gender, and the prosecutor has brought the indecency charges in the Wi Spa case because the claim to be trans (to then gain access to “women’s” only rooms) may not be honest.

Yes, it is truly sad and this person is a learned scholarly writer and intellectual; I have been reading her columns in the pak newspaper, Dawn, in her country for years and she has written about misogyny in her society and she rightly deserves praise for that (her family member, a diplomat’s daughter, was recently…

completely concur. It is sad that this oppressive ideology/cult has become a blind spot for so many of us. I am stunned...if people only knew what are the teachings and doctrines of this medieval cult (google nikah halala) and the practices that are actually practiced by their practitioners.

The two are so different in magnitude the comparison is insane. The Taliban will kill women for the crime of getting raped. If thinking that is bad is “colonialism” or being a “White savoir,” so be it. 

They barely want to address the elephants in then room mostly, it’s all well; and good to rail against people who are easy to dismiss as the bad guy (white cis males and females), but somehow ignoring all the other bad actors out of fear is a massive thing and we don’t want offend muslim culture (1+ billion people) or…

It’s truly sad this person tried to write an entire book to justify her cognitive dissonance between being an active member of a patriarchal oppressive medieval cult and a feminist.  Adulting is hard.

Could you expand?  I think Sutton has totally nailed it.  I am here for her. And I really like Crystal too.  I hope no more “violations,” happen because they are nice duo.

Feminism in academia does not reflect feminism in the real world????

“I don’t think that even white feminists are necessarily motivated by malicious intent.”

“Online harassment and death threats are terrible, unless it’s happening to someone I don’t like. In that case it’s NBD.”

Virtually every article Clark-Fory writes on this site is intended to normalize the inherently abusive practices of the sex trade. 

I don’t get the point of this piece? Doesn’t really appear to say anything. 

I participated in my local women’s march two years ago but it was still bullshit.

True. But one of the curses/blessings of age is that you get to see the same damn thing, over and over. I’ve been voting for environmental solutions and left politics for (*checks calendar*) almost FORTY years. I’ve activisted like crazy for womens rights and environmental issues for fucking decades. My first…

Yeah we on the left seem to really suck at political strategy. What is it about the liberal/left that we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot by either not paying attention (ie, part of the reason Obama failed at not passing the policies he wanted) or making immediate demands? It’s funny, because so much of our…

I’m also completely fed up with the contempt so many people have for the older female politicians who have been working for decades. There seems to be a paradox of younger women saying getting older is cool and wishing they had mentors, and then also telling older women that only young firebrands have the answers.

They are setting her up to fail when she isn’t able to ram through anything she wants. When this happens, she will lose her support and that will be the end of her. Look at Obama, the moment he wasn’t able to magically change everything, people abandoned him in the midterms, making further progress that much more…

“White women don’t have the history, or the baggage of growing up with visible body hair, so their announcement of it, or political positionality of it, seems insincere.”

Huh. I ( a white woman of WASP/German extraction, since getting all the way down to the 23andMe of it all seems to be relevant) seem to have…

As a woman with pcos who just happens to be white, fuck you. You do not have some moral authority on struggling with body hair or being tortured for it/by it.
