A sexually reproducing species flourishes when men and women are taught to respect one another, cooperate with one another, work in tandem in building strong families, strong relationships, strong communities etc. Hence, we should promote an ethos of decency built on the
foundation of individual rights and personal responsibility. This message can be achieved without promoting intersexual conflict ad nauseam. The reality is that intrasexual competition is much more prevalent than intersexual strife. So go ahead and promote that ALL people should
behave in maximally respectful, decent, and kind ways WITHOUT having to construct that argument as a perennial battle of the sexes. I can't be any clearer. If you remain confused & outraged, you are an idiot beyond redemption.
[Hopefully these were my final remarks about the Gillette ad (but likely not so).]

Dear ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hizballah, Haqqani Network, al-Nusra Front, & Al-Qa'ida, please watch the uplifting @gillette ad. Be the best versions of yourselves. Make the change. It is truly wonderful to see that a razor company is serving as
the catalyst for the eradication of a slew of reprehensible behaviors via a message of love, hope, and directed change. Human history, which has been shaped by endless rivers of blood, strife, and conflict, would have a utopian paradise of brotherly love had our ancestors been
exposed to the Gillette ad. Without the direction of @ProcterGamble, most men will continue to raise their sons to succumb to dangerous levels of toxic masculinity. But now, we have the solution. We see the light. The panacea is within our reach. Perhaps I'm being too

A lot of people who are very upset at me for critiquing the @gillette ad are engaging in the EXACT behaviors that the ad is supposed to curb. The irony is lost on these moral frauds. They insult me; they threaten me; they cyberbully me because I critique an ad. Let that sink in.
I'm the one who receives death threats for speaking out against the brutality that women, LGBTQ individuals, and religious minorities experience in the Middle East. But I consider the @gillette ad to be patronizing & condescending so DEATH to the Evil Jew! Irony much?
There is nothing more morally bankrupt than Western SJWs. They signal their virtue from the safety of their keyboards. They NEVER engage in costly signalling. But they are the virtuous ones whilst I am the "Nazi" for critiquing an ad that oozes of moralizing sanctimony.

Dear @APA: In my quest to cure my toxic masculinity (also known as the pathological condition of being male), I have decided to implement the following behavioural modifications: 1) I will watch The Bridges of Madison County once a week for the next 6 months; 2) I will refrain
from watching the @nfl ever again as this perpetuates sexist and antiquated stereotypes of masculinity; 3) When exercising, I will only listen to @LisaLoeb's "Stay"; 4) I will only watch positive erotica wherein the actors stare lovingly into one another's eyes for the duration
of the movie; 5) I will cross my legs in the manner that true men such as @barackobama and @justintrudeau do; no more manspreading; 6) I will reject my transphobic mating preferences; specifically I will now recognize that I should be attracted to women who have vaginas &/or to

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

#MeToo allegations are coming out. Perhaps very few of of them are outright lies. Some of them are completely true. But most are selective representations of reality. It's worse than useless when a story is stripped of its context. #MeTooIndia (1/n)
Women are running amok. But even feminist female detectives who investigate rape cases think 50-90% of the allegations are false. They've studied this in different parts of the world. There's no place where at least half the allegations aren't false. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (2/n)
People refuse to believe this, but this is a consistent finding.This doesn't mean all allegations are false. Some allegations seem very real, and sexual harassment seems to have destroyed careers. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (3/n)

This is a #TransRational thread about primate mating strategies.
And sisterhood.
And friendship.
And feminism.

It’s about an alliance.

Settle in, folks. This is gonna be long.
There are some prerequisites, for any of this to make sense:

First, please forget all the mainstream ’woke’ feminism and jargon. That shit fucks with your mind and makes all conversations stupid and pointless. It is utter bollocks, and of no use to anyone. So forget that shit.
Done? Good.

Now you’ve forgotten that shit, there are some terms that should be defined at least roughly for the purposes of this discussion. These won’t come up often.

I’m going to talk about Blanchard’s typology of transsexual women. I’m no expert, but after lots of reading I finally have something to say.

For this to make sense, I first need to discuss the concept of ‘gender’, and how it relates to biological sex.
We might as well start with this, which is (basically) the way rad fems think about gender vs sex.

I want to expand on this, by talking about sex and gender in other species. It’ll have to be simplified a bit, but I’ll try and stick to science.

International Women's Day coincided with @EricaKomisarCSW's book crossing my path again. The glib platitudes circulating while anyone who challenges the consensus is shouted down got me thinking (oh dear).
For a decade I worked as a nanny, at daycare, and in foster care. I've avoided speaking about what I observed b/c I love the children I've cared for & preferred to focus on that. Who wants to argue w/ people emotionally motivated to interpret facts in the most comfortable way?
But everyday I'm bombarded on social media by people using children to push agendas. To guilt others while claiming to hate guilt. To judge while rejecting judgment. What happens is the actual children, become props for the agenda of others while caregivers are silent or ignored.

1/Got a bunch of #wagegap deniers in my mentions so here’s a thread about reductive thinking about women’s “choices”:
2/The wage gap results from complex dynamics that create the parameters of women’s decisions about work. Men and women *do* make different choices, ie, fields of study, types of work, “lifestyle” decisions but rarely women-make-choicers actually delve into *why* they make them.
3/ Women’s choices are made in the context of dominant gender socialization, entrenched educational biases, a lack of social support for women’s wage earning, and the mandate that women provide unpaid care and domestic labor.
