Read this:
Men have no idea how hard daily life is for women. Women have no idea how hard daily life is for them either because they don’t know how easy it is for men. Everyone should reverse for a week. At least online. If you’re male, use a female name; and if you’re female, use a male name. See what happens.

I hope that ‘gender recognition’ legislation, which reveals a failure to differentiate between sex and gender and, with respect to sex, a denial of the definitive role of chromosomes, will soon be repealed.
I fear that this horror story will take its place.

Poverty is not the cause of crime. Because even when men have enough, they steal more, kill for more.
(Think of all those rich white CEOs running our planet, managing the banks, the oil companies, the logging companies …)
(And given that well over 90% of crime is committed by men, well, the cause should be obvious: maleness and/or masculinity.)

“In the game of patriarchy, women are not the opposing team. They’re the ball.” Anita Sarkeesian

Here’s the blurb:
How is it that the girl who got the top marks in high school ends up, at fifty, scrubbing floors and cleaning toilets for minimum wage, living in a room above Vera’s Hairstyling, in a god-forsaken town called Powassan?
Feminist theorist Dale Spender wrote, in Women of Ideas and What Men Have Done to Them, “We need to know how patriarchy works. We need to know how women disappear….” Indeed we do. Where are all the straight-A girls from high school? Why, how, have they ‘disappeared’? Marriage and kids is an inadequate answer because married-with-kids straight-A boys (of which, let’s acknowledge, there are fewer) are visible. Everywhere. Even the straight-B boys are out there. This is what happens responds to Spender’s urgent comment.

That’s it. That’s my post. Any answers out there?

“Not to bring up Robert Jensen every three sentences, but he’s made a point that I find extremely salient when it comes to how porn affects women’s lives. If I have to go to court tomorrow, or I have to go discuss my career with my boss, or I have to work on a project at work or school with men, or I have to deal with a cop, or I have to rely in any way on a man in a position of authority to treat me fairly, shouldn’t it worry me to think he might have been watching a film the night before in which a woman has her head shoved into a toilet while someone uses her like a piece of toilet paper? I know some of you may say that the authority figure in question probably wouldn’t be equating me with the woman he jerked off to the night before, but can someone really suspend their sense of empathy long enough to jerk off to an image like that and then see me as an equal human being the next day? Doubtful. And men get together every day to make decisions that affect women’s lives. Men decide whether to promote women, whether to give them raises, whether to hire them, whether to take their claims of sexual harassment seriously, whether to pass a law that hurts or harms their rights to equal pay for equal work, safe and effective health care, etc. “
