The proof we are living in a patriarchy IS that male people can claim to be female - and that female people will support their claim.
Pop psychology theory:
Christa is defending Lucy Letby out of repressed guilt for her part in creating a mob that convinced itself of Kathleen Stock’ s guilt, and persecuted her accordingly.
Isn’t it clear by now that Christa has some psychological issues?
Both a fear of being, and a desire to be, demonised.
Engaging with her is not helping her.
Acting in a feminine way doesn’t make anyone (male or female) a woman, obviously.
What’s interesting is why so many people think it does.
The standards of femininity women are expected to conform to should be considered an index of female oppression.
The index is higher now than it has been for 30 years - and it’s rising.
White supremacists argue that equality laws ‘bully’ them into not discriminating against black people too.
Feel like the idea that coming into contact, socially, with a real life actual lesbian hasn’t been considered so contaminating for, like, 50 years…?
Is it a central part of gay culture that to be penetrable is to be feminine?
Or feminised.
Because, you know, being penetrated doesn’t make you a woman.
The answer is:
Men, no matter how progressive they like to think they are, never read feminism.
They think it’s beneath them.
They haven’t got a fucking clue.
1. Rape is not a successful ‘reproductive strategy’
2. Rape is not a heritable behaviour, any more than theft or murder is.
‘Be kind’ is almost always an admonition to women not to stand up for yourself or your own rights, to put male needs before your own, to be more feminine - because that’s what feminine means in patriarchy.
Subservient, compliant, supportive.
Why don’t you ‘be kind’?
It’s like Feminism 101 that throughout history male people have wanted sex to mean something other than biological sex.
Like being female must ‘actually’ mean being feminine.
I think straight men feel guilty about their historic homophobia - so they want to give women’s rights away to people who, deep down, they just see as more ‘gay men’.
