Women's rights under attack

Sad but all too believable article today worth reading from a 15 year old girl describing the misogyny she sees regularly on social media.

So glad no social media like that was around when we were growing up, can't even imagine.

I remember young lads being very crass when I was that age but it never felt quite as pointed at this.

No. Plenty of trans people are in gay relationships. You cant eradicate them out of existence.

I know right? She puts the 'female' thing really well. I've been trying to point that out to folks and they look at me as if I have two heads. It's really subtle and you'd almost not notice if if you weren't looking out for it.

From the article: 'Consider the use of the word “female” in these posts. It is not a neutral term here, it is a term of abuse. It’s used by teenage boys to degrade us and equate us to animals. Boys are never described as “males”, but girls are always “females” – the equivalent of sows or calves, creatures that are less than human.'

There's a great subreddit called 'Men and females' pointing out news articles and places where men are referred to as men but then women are referred to as 'females'. It's a really odd thing that IMO has seeped in from manosphere people like Andrew Tate etc who purposefully call women and girls 'females' to dehumanise them.

Again, you almost wouldn't notice it (and people pointing it out like me might sound a bit mad for doing so), but once you do, it's one of those 'cannot unsee' type things.

Divide and conquer, a tale as old as history itself.

No better way to divide women then put biological males against them. And you can gaslight them so good by saying it wasn't long since their rights had to be fought for.

It's only 1% now but growing. And 1% of something wrong is 1% too much.

Just on your numbers do you mean 1% of men are trans or do you mean 1% of women are affected by them in women's spaces?

Men arent dying by suicide because theyre discriminated against, its more likely due to lower emotional resilience, men are more likely to turn to alcohol, drugs, promiscuous sex, the gym etc to distract from their emotions and avoid dealing with them or to avoid working on their interpersonal skills. Women are more likely to attempt suicide but choose less violent ways of doing so like taking an over dose for example, theyve a higher chance of being rescued, men often choose hanging, guns or drowning. Men are also less likely to engage in meaningful relationships with friends, they'll go to the pub and watch a match but allot of men wont go for coffee for with their friends or talk about anything beyond surface level, like sport, movies, tv shows etc. Women are more likely to talk openly about their thoughts and feelings, men see this as a feminine trait, not a human trait so they reject it. They would rather suffer in silence than potentially be seen as feminine in any aspect, even if it means saving the lives of themselves, their sons and friends. Theres as much help and support for men as there is for women, more actually because theres been so much awareness raised over mens mental health but if youre not taking it or making changes in your life and your relationships, its all a waste of time.

The MAGA assault has very little to do with transgender people.

They are using it as rage bait gateway to go after what they really want, gays and lesbian rights and of course Women's rights, as well as every other minority there bigotry doesn't like.

They have already stripped 5 decades of Health Rights for Women.

Obergefell v. Hodges will be the next big one to go.

They won't be happy until they bring back Jim Crow.

But the easily manipulated will do the majority of the heavy lifting for them.
