Help me build an iceberg meme for Peaking!

HumorHelp me build an iceberg meme for Peaking!

Posted October 11, 2024 by Anaktorias_Secret in GenderCritical

Hey guys, hope your Friday is doing great!

I was thinking about the iceberg meme and was wondering whether anyone has made one for peaking. The iceberg meme talks about topics where what appears above water is only a small fraction of the truth of what's going on, and things become truer and bigger the deeper you go. This is perfect for representing the gender critical experience of peaking. I realized I can just consult the best community for this :) and build one together both for fun and as a resource!

So I am looking for suggestions on terms, people, events that could go onto the iceberg, and where you guys think it is most adequate for them to go. Please feel absolutely free to bring up stuff from your own peaking journey! Podcasts, public figures, reports, statistics, anything.

Also please feel free to vote/debate for what tier some of the big terms belong to. I'm giving some examples below.

I'm planning on 4 tiers:

0 Tier: Above water, that which is mainstream and more obvious to everybody, like JK Rowling, the bathroom debate, and famous trans people and detransitioners
-1 Tier: Right below water, less mainstream and a little controversial but not too unknown. Maybe I'd put things like the CAS review there, and "lesbian" Reddit actuallesbians, the word TERF, LGB alliance
-2 Tier: More obscure things we start to notice right before or after peaking (maybe discovering about AGP?), some niche icons like Magdalen Berns
-3 Tier: The really deep stuff like big pharma, health and social neglect of gay and autistic people, activists, Foucalt/Judith Butler, homophobia, idk. Basically the deepest most niche things that you can only share with ovarit users knowing they will accept and understand but can't really elsewhere

With your suggestions I will make the meme and post it here.

Enjoy!

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.

Most videos do not belong in this circle and we do not allow direct linkposts to videos, they must be submitted as a textpost with a summary/description.

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:

/o/FeministVideos - for feminist video posts
/o/Radfemmery - memes and jokes
/o/TransLogic - misogynistic and illogical things trans activists say and do
/o/TerfIsASlur - examples of TERF being used as a slur
/o/ItsAFetish - examples of fetishism in the trans community
/o/ThisNeverHappens - news articles about violent trans-identified males
/o/NameTheProblem - news articles about all male violence
/o/Women - for women's general discussion, including rants, raves, personal stories and advice posts

For discussion about Ovarit, check the meta circles:

/o/Ovarit - meta discussions about Ovarit that don't belong elsewhere
/o/Announcements - announcements from admins
/o/Suggestions - feature requests and other suggestions
/o/Circles - where new circles are born
/o/Bugs - report a bug in the site

Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!

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

"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
