DiscussionKamala’s New “Man Enough” Ad Is Out of Touch and Cringey
The ad is out of touch, and I don’t think it will garner any additional votes from men. Ironically, non of the “manly enough” men in the video defined a woman. I wonder, are these “man enough” to say men do not belong in female spaces.
This is a women-centered, radical feminist oriented circle to discuss gender from a critical, feminist perspective.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here. Please read them before posting!
This circle is especially for discussions about gender and transgender ideology/politics. Please use /o/WomensLiberation is for discussions about other feminist topics. /o/Activism is for calls to action, including petitions and fundraisers, and /o/FeministEvents is for posting events.
This circle is focused on articles, news articles, and original text-based discussion posts written by our posters.
Please do not make a linkpost to misogynistic or anti-GC content to start discussions about it.
Linkposts to social media posts are only allowed if the link is to a gender critical feminist's posts, and the "GC Social Media" flair is only to be used when linking to gender critical feminists. If you want to start a discussion about a different kind of social media post, make a text post conversation starter instead of a linkpost, same as with videos.
Most images belong in other circles, as do examples of individual trans activists doing off-the-wall things, as do some news subjects and many personal posts that aren't political:

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
"The key thing to understand about trans rights activism is that, unlike gay rights activism, it is not just a movement seeking to ensure that trans people are not discriminated against. It is, rather, a movement committed to a fundamental reconceptualization of the very idea of what makes someone a man or a woman. In theory, this equally affects both men and women, but in practice, almost all the social pressure is coming from trans women towards the idea of ‘woman’ and the rights of women." –Jane Clare Jones
Sigh. They're still on the "let's redefine masculinity and femininity to mean what we want". Instead of saying- gender is all bullshit- vote for the candidate who best serves your interests- and heres why you should vote for ours. Man and woman are nominal data points, not ordinal data points. there is no man enough or not man enough there is only adult human male or not adult human male. Honestly ,this kinda thing slyly reifies gender roles and stereotypes and makes it fair for the other side to claim "You're not manly if you dont vote our way", too.
Voting isn't some declaration of your identity or anything like that. You dont become more manly or less manly because of who you vote for, and you don't become more or less religious or more or less your race or more or less your sex or anything based on who you vote for. Voting is just a choice between available options after prioritising and weighing one's interests.
Did you miss the fact that Democrats have been playimg ID politics for decades and hsve been running on overdrive for the last 10 years or more? ID pol is literally their central strategy.
in some instances they have, in other instances republicans have been playing id politics. politicians are only incentivised to take the easiest path to power there is no?
