It’s breathtaking that some people are celebrating a Joe Biden win by telling feminists that we should never work with conservatives. Because they disagree with us about abortion. Joe. Biden.

Joe Biden has won, so obviously we must never work with the terrible capitalists because it would harm our credibility.

Joe Biden has won a US presidential election, and so it’s important to remember never to work with anyone, or someone who might be affiliated with anyone, who’s had a bad record on taking sexual harassment complaints seriously.

Yay, Joe Biden! Therefore, women must never work with conservatives who support tough-on-crime policies (that are actually popular with voters of color, but that’s another issue) because ... wait a minute.

nytimes.com/2019/06/25/us/…
Don’t ever work with conservatives, women, because it might be off-putting to ... the tens of millions of voters who supported Joe Biden?

politico.com/magazine/story…
Do the people trashing the idea of working across the aisle to get things done in American politics—while celebrating Biden’s accomplishment—know who Joe Biden is, or do they just like the idea of the women’s movement remaining exactly as captive and powerless as it is now?

What is a ‘male feeling,’ ‘male thought,’ ‘male talent,’ or ‘male preference’ regarding the world and human expression, unrelated to the particular sensations of the sexed body, that no woman ever shares, given similar conditions?
Even if there are some broad tendencies based on sex, such as the greater male propensity to commit violence that’s borne out in the crime stats of the entire world, this doesn’t dictate an inevitable palate of talent and personality at the individual level.
Men aren’t the sex of person who understands math, because not all men ... Women aren’t the sex of person who finds fulfillment in cleaning up. There are men who are gentle and loving, and women who are incapable of genuine affection, because these traits aren’t sex dependent.

Maybe preface it with a history of the reasons why there was feminism in the first place, and all the previous male-led movements women have had to work with to gain incremental improvements to our lives, but that have ultimately turned on us.
Obviously, when men turn on women and undermine our interests, it’s our fault for picking such flawed allies. We should have known better. Should have waited for the perfect partner. It’s our fault we didn’t foresee and prevent the attack.
If men really want women to believe in their individuality, why do they all sound the same when they talk about us?

Men, as a class, leverage greater physical force against women in ways that create a persistent climate of threat and coercion, which constrains women’s physical freedom and opportunities.

In India, “Women choose lower quality colleges, travel for a longer time, and spend more money on commuting, relative to men, to feel safer.”

voxdev.org/topic/health-e…
Women all over the world face a level of routine threat and harassment that men don’t, on the basis of sex. It affects us in public, and in private and workplace social circles, the level of tolerance for it between men affects our participation.

A new poll conducted by Spry Strategies for WoLF found a majority of likely 2020 voters disagree with policies related to “gender identity” that would remove protections for women in single-sex spaces such as prisons, shelters, & sports.

womensliberationfront.org/news/national-…
The results are based on a national sample of 3,500 likely voters and include detailed representation across regions, ethnicity, sex, and political affiliation.
Black and Hispanic voters are more likely to support protections for single-sex spaces, especially on issues such as prison and homelessness which disproportionately impact communities of color.

It’s disturbing to see so many secular humanist men come out for sterilizing children, and then portraying the broad opposition to it as being the partisan tool of their traditional political enemies. Here’s where unthinking tribalism leads:
Women also didn’t need people of any political persuasion or faith belief to know that we are real human beings, and not a costume that a man can wear. It has rather been increasingly alarming to watch secular humanist men keep doubling down on denying our existence.
Indeed, that broad class of men who’ve spent the last several years marking themselves most likely to say, of themselves, “This is what a feminist looks like,” have become the most likely to endorse child sterilization and deny the existence of women as a sex class.

The most ridiculous thing that some insist on importing into the women’s rights movement from SJW/woke discourse is the performance of “fear” regarding people that the speaker can’t credibly be considered to be afraid of in the least.
It’s an incredible statement, as in, not credible in the least, to suggest that radical feminists or gender critical people generally, are afraid of women who’ve never called for harm to anyone, support basic human rights for all, & explicitly reject ideas of ethnic superiority.
When critical theory-motivated extremism, and political partisanship, is centered in feminism, the beneficiaries are inevitably misogynistic men on the left who seem to have always been looking for an excuse to call us “feminazis.” ImageImageImageImage
