why are men even on this site
every time i see a post on here where the poster mentions he's a man i get so irritated. i know it's been established that men are allowed on ovarit due to the fact that barring them would be completely unenforceable*, but it's one of those things where just because you can doesn't mean you should
like why can't men just let women have a single space to ourselves? what's so hard about simply browsing this website & absorbing women's perspectives and choosing NOT to make an account to post your male opinion in our discussions? i never know a poster is a man unless he points it out. which he does. i guess that's kind of a good thing cuz i then know to disregard everything he says
*i understand this basis for allowing male users, but also....ovarit has circles specifically made for women only, lesbians only, etc. why do these circles implement such rules when apparently the website as a whole cannot implement a similar one? it would literally be the same rule that o/women has yet it is dismissed as being unrealistic. would love people's thoughts on this
Yes!! Especially the type of laughter between women that comes from being able to see XYs from a perspective they’re too cognitively deficient to see themselves...
I love this. They think that putting on a dress equals the soul and experiences of being a woman.
It is not.
Libfems think so little of womanhood that they think it is perfectly fine to give the pretense of womanhood away to males.
I love her!! First time I saw her was a debate about what a woman is (rolls eyes) between her and Heather Peto and Julia destroyed him.
So true. I’m heterosexual and struggle to form wide-ranging friendships because 1) re men, how do you befriend men genuinely? Never occurred to me and 2) I’m very much a “this is what I think” person which turns off a lot of women who are conditioned to always hype up the other person and not express unpleasant opinions unapologetically. Still, I’ve been the few close friends type of person and I’ve been madly in love with a couple of men, one man who knew me for over half of my life and there is STILL something about sitting next to a woman you adore that brings a feeling of comfort and ease that no man in my life has ever. Is it the same intensity and being in love for years? Well, no. Is it something else entirely that has somehow it’s own special, greater trust and feeling of being safe? Yes. Do I think a biological male is capable of feeling this toward a woman? No.
You can pretend to be us.
You can put it into law that your paperwork says that you are us.
You can force apologies, through gritted teeth, from people that may or may not have said that you are not us, depending on your own idiosyncratic interpretation of their words.
You can take our places in universities and jobs.
But you will never be us.
Deep down, you know that, and that’s why you keep pushing. You keep wishing that someday, if you push enough, if you get enough people to be your yes-men, if you get enough people to kowtow, then you will be us.
But you also know that that’s not going to happen. You will never be us. It’s impossible. It cannot happen. That’s why you’re so angry and frustrated - because no matter how much you achieve, it never will be enough.
