Sounds crazy? This is happening in every university Femsoc, every online feminist group, Girl Guides, womens charities, programmes for women in STEM etc... This language is promoted in schools, media, UN, human & womens rights orgs, funders and NGOs. (HT

Organisations that "do feminism" and "do work for women and girls" are accepting and promoting the idea that it is phobic to have a word for women, or to allow women freedom of association!

If we applied those dictator methods towards trans people how would that go down. It’s a disgrace, anyone can have an opinion anything is allowed to be discussed no one has the right to stop people talking without being bullied and labelled transphobic it’s an utter disgrace.

I don't get this - if anyone is gender essentialist, it's... well, gender essentialists, or as I call them, gender-fascists. So how can they fight gender essentialism effectively when they seek to affirm instead of abolish it? Sick minds.

Hang on! I thought "gender" is the way society perceives men and women. If gender is not based on society or on biology, what is it?

Genuine confusion and question, by the way.

Maybe we should let the men be feminists. We can rebrand ourselves as ??

"As feminists, we are dedicated to fighting gender essentialism", said no feminist ever.

As a feminist I defend spending shitonnes of cash for waxing, nails, hair colouring, clothes and high heels.
