When I eavesdrop on TERFilosophy I always learn something new, like for instance that it's feminist to lose your shit at your son for painting his nails https://twitter.com/smolgardenghost/status/1312524694008987650 …

I've never presented as particularly femme in any context but to be told I'm *not allowed* to do so *at all* or I'm harming women is something else I'm so old I remember when the line was "Dress any way you like, just don't call yourself an actual woman"

But apparently no, all forms of "femininity" are "reenacting and reinforcing ritual submission of the female sex class" God, okay, fine All makeup and nail polish and jewelry are now banned, got it ...Is there some kind of guide you can publish on which haircuts are acceptable

Like at times in the past I've let my hair grow out just because I'm fucking lazy, but I guess that's participating in the social construct of femininity now or something? What's the regulation length, can you make sure to send an email Is it okay if it's long but not styled

Wearing nail polish is like mild police harassment Women wearing nail polish is like... when some white guy antagonizes a cop in order to get yelled at? Because he's been brainwashed into getting off on it? Men wearing nail polish are... cops who yell at each other?

When my high school girlfriend pressured me into putting on nail polish with her so we could be "punk", that was a mild version of what it would be like if we were in ancient China and a woman bound a man's feet in order to be... some ancient Chinese version of "punk"?

And both things would ultimately be bad and patriarchal? My punk black fingernails were kinda sorta indirectly upholding abortion restrictions, the way the guy with the bound feet would be kinda sorta indirectly upholding the sale of women via bride-price?

You know my dad actually did fucking hit the roof over the nail polish thing It was in fact a pretty bad fight, one that seems minor in the grand scheme of things -- it wasn't the time I got my arm broken -- and yet now I think about it one that's probably deeply influenced me

Wait, you broke your arm and that led to a fight with your dad? ...he didn't break your arm, right?
