Re: It's always about the restrooms (none / 1)

I was aware of the colorado situation but just thought it was typical.

A wonderful example of the warm embrace of Second wave feminists can be found here at Radical Feminist Carnival. It's really quite nasty, but is actually only a slightly more extreme version of what I've heard from feminists about the transgendered since forever.

I must admit that 3rd wave feminists (under 30) are much more accomodating, Feministing.copm are very much on our side, but feel that most UK feminists are still resolutely second wave. A UK lesbian online forum called Gingerbeer discussed transmen (ftm) last year and there was such an obvious hatred of all trans people from a significant and vocal minority that most trans people left the board as they were made to feel unwelcome.

Wow. That's a lot of work to justify a lot of biases. Gender isn't real? Right.

Anyway, it's the high-heels and falling into sexual stereotypes that you do that really disqualifies you as a proper woman. Or something.

Re: It's always about the restrooms (none / 1)

That article is truly amazing. seeing the writer convinced that they have a logical argument, when in fact they just have a pile of hatreds, neuroses and assumptions is stunning. That argument is a desperate houss of cards on the point of collapse, held up by some really distasteful views in the comments.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

You're just a patriarchal misogynist.

Well, I can't be that thing you said. (none / 0)

I can't pronounce it, let alone spell it ... I can't be nothing that I got to copy and paste.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
