Sex Matters website goes live tomorrow
Posted March 5, 2021 by WatcherattheGates in Activism

We are excited to be launching the website tomorrow - Friday from 9am at www.sex-matters.org . We are on Facebook and Twitter too.

Sex Matters is a new not-for-profit organisation. We have a singular mission: to reestablish that sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture.

We will campaign, advocate and produce resources to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law and culture.

We engage with politicians, officials, employers and professional organisations. We will work with and amplify others in the emerging movement of organisations working for a reality-based discussion about sex. We aim to build the campaign into new constituencies, professions and sectors, and to help people speak up and act with confidence.

Our priorities are: Establish clarity regarding single sex services and spaces Enable more people to speak up Enable debate to happen within organisations

Our founders:

Rebecca Bull, Naomi Cunningham, Maya Forstater and Emma Hilton

Lmfao, imagine walking into a job interview and just saying "can I have the job? I really want it." These people are so entitled.

To be fair, "just explain that you really want to" is how they get most of what they want.

And if his male privilege is denied, then he can throw a big screeching fit about lack of inclusion.

Bingo.

Carrots90September 23, 2024

That's not fair.

It's also 'because I'll be sad if you don't let me'

Along with either an implied or explicit threat to seek Canadian healthcare.

Not to mention the fact that he wants to play a woman who was, you know, decapitated for not giving birth to a son who lived

Dude doesn’t care that she was an actual human being and a victim of femicide and misogyny. Don’t care how long ago it was, she was a real person who’s memory matters.

Though back then, only men in drag were allowed to be on stage sooo.....

Let me guess: she has a cool song to sing? I dont know Six

It used to be that in principle I woudn't necessarily object to men playing women's parts, if they auditioned and were actually good for the part. I can remember seeing a fantastic male Lady Bracknell back in the day. But now, like with any other male gender nonconformity, because of genderwoo I wouldn't be OK with it, even if he actually was good for the part - because he'd be making us lie, and because he'd have taken a part from a woman.

Because that could be the only thing possibly in the way of him getting one of the leads in his school musical.
