The proposal that a woman is anyone who defines themselves as a woman — and that no woman may say anyone isn’t a woman — has led to a particularly unimpressive stage of the debate, one which can only be described as the Summa Theologica meets incels r us.
Bwahaha, now I have to clean spilled coffee off all my desk papers.
I love her! I just got “Hags”and can’t wait to read it.
It is AMAZING. I couldn’t put it down.
I don’t think the film aimed to explain anything. It wasn’t even much of a documentary, it was more like an exposé of how stupid trans ideology is in the words of its own proponents.
Thankfully it didn’t push any conservative counter-narrative of what women are supposed to be, which was probably the best we could hope for. Someone like Walsh is not ever going to be legitimately gender critical.
It did at the beginning and the end. Girls must like pink and tiaras and grow up to be tradwives making sandwiches
The pickle jar part was so contrived and annoying. I couldn't roll my eyes hard enough at that cornball nonsense
I agree that we need to see more of scott. as for the rest apart from the BS at the start and end about mr family man and his stereotype kids I think he did a good job of keeping his opinions to himself and letting the idiots expose themselves.
and knowing how big his head is I think thats a massive plus for him or perhaps the editors of the film to know when to keep a lid on his way of thinking which for the most part they did, focusing on the point of giving the cultists enough rope that they hanged themselves.
I'm just happy he didn't focus on religion bc then these libfems would just use that as an excuse to dismiss the whole thing.
The sad truth is that we need male allies in stopping this and those male allies are more apt to listen to another man than to us. It sucks, and I hate it and I dont particularly want to ever be in a room with these “allies”, but if it gets more people (male and female) to stand up against this crap, then I’m happy it exists.
I'd be far more inclined to think of Matt as a topical ally (on this topic) if he didn't spend so much time sneering at "nasty feminists".
Walsh did a piece on why he would never date a feminist - but he was responding to an article in Everyday Feminism; "10 things every intersectional feminist should ask on a first date". Included were Do black lives matter? How do you dismantle sexism and misogyny in your life? What is your opinion on settler colonialism and indigenous rights?
Go on, have a look, then watch Walsh's piece. It's brilliant. But no feminist has any truck with Everyday Feminism (apart from the odd point and snigger - I'm doing that now).
Fwiw, I wouldn't date anyone who asked me those questions, either.
What is your opinion on settler colonialism and indigenous rights?
I would ask what this has to do with feminism.
This is brilliant. She always says things so well. Truly a voice for women. Victoria, if you can see this, please write more books!
