Gender Critical Feminism
Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.
Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women or 'identifying' as women. We condemn the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the cancelling of feminists and critics, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. Women are oppressed to exploit their biological sex characteristics, and women have a right to a movement that is about their own liberation from that oppression. We resist the redefinition of both "women" and "feminism" to make them serve men.
"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." –Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
"Men often react to women’s words—speaking and writing—as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men—control, violence, insult, contempt—that no threat seems empty." –Andrea Dworkin, Intercourse

Why is Tucker Carlson the voice of reason?!? Why do I agree with Tucker Carlson?!? What is wrong with this world???
I know, the world is going crazy! Biden is going to continue building the wall, Tucker is making sense.

Yeah it's awful of the left to let him be the one to say this
To be fair, it could well be true that the Guv did not speak with any corporate shills about this matter.
He didn't have to. He knows who butters his bread.
So, yeah, it's good that Tucker shined a light on this, but I think it's unfair for him to say the Guv was "lying" in the prior interview. TC could have made the same point without that claim.
Yeah. That's just some facts linked together which don't add up to a definitive lie. Did Asa Hutchinson make a decision against a reasonable person's moral conscience? Yes. Did he do it just to make the state look good because of corporate interests? Almost certainly. Did he get explicit instructions from corporations? Unknown.
There's a lot of things that can be said of Tucker Carlson but that his follow up on Asa wasn't a royal dousing of petrol with a match at the end, isn't one of them.
What a burn.
Thank God for Tucker Carlson, and I never thought I'd say those words.
This whole thing is weird because I had been under the impression that Walmart was a conservative company. I always heard that Walmart was for Republicans and Target was for Democrats. I guess that's not actually the case.
There is a lot of money in transitioning. Especially transitioning children where you can take money for longer. In the end all parties to a capitalist system only really care about money.
ETA: Words to form cogent sentences are important and clearly my original reply missed a few!
Follow the money,and depravity will be revealed. Or vice versa. I would like to know the end game, because when people realize they're fucked being stuck in barely functioning bodies this will blow up big time. To
So what is it just an immediate cash grab? Get as much as they can because the lawyer fees won't be a big deal? Or are they banking on the future being transhuman or some shit. I know it's the goal but I really want to know what the true end game for all this is.
Walmart is so large it can't be categorized as one or the other political side.. Remember Hillary Clinton was on the board of Walmart
Is it true Tucker Carlson was close friends with brothel owner Dennis Hof? Because I find that disturbing.
I was going to say, I think Carlson has several kids, including daughters, so I get the feeling this trans insanity is really personal for him, trying to protect his daughters. But then I read he was buddies with a brothel owner.
Not my place to make a pros and cons column about Tucker Carlson. I'm glad he is spreading awareness on trans insanity and that he has invited Abigail Shrier and Kara Dansky on more than once. I hope he will continue to be vocal againt trans insanity because he has one of the top viewed shows and we need to get the word out there.
Carlson has three daughters, one son. 30 year marriage to the woman he fell in love with in 10th grade, age 15.
