Denying the reality of gender is like denying the reality of race ─ just because it is a social construct does not make it any less real. And if one wants to truly deny the reality of gender, one does not get to pick and choose whom one wants to deny its existence for. This is where TERF's err ─ th...

I think most you realize this, but perhaps prefer to play word games; or maybe you really have learned everything you know about feminism from men's rights outlets. Accusing people with whom you disagree of guilt-by-association-with-MRAs when I am sure they disagree with MRAs wholeheartedly (possib...

From the position Nort was speaking of, it seems that in it the whole of one's gender role and position in society is inherent in one's biological sex and one ought to live by such biologically-determined roles, and that, say, not only can only biological women give birth to babies but that they sh...

The people being described as "gender essentialists" are, of course, "gender abolitionists". We're talking about people whose beliefs and actions are practically "gender-essentialist", even if they may or may not also be "gender-abolitionist". But transphobes...

So the two chief objections I hear from gender-essentialist women (not all of whom are feminists or identify as such) to letting AMABs identify and present as women are: 1. Male sex criminals will do this in order to crime, and 2. Female-presenting AMABs will marginalise cis women, speaking over th...

I finally got this template to do everything I wanted it to do: https://linguifex.com/wiki/Template:Vrkh-conj-table/G-strong It can account for a root's "weakness" and conjugate appropriately. Which also means I don't need three to twelve additional templates to account for weak roots. My ...

Speaking as someone I gather this forum as a whole would designate a TERF, the argument that "gender identity" is incompatible with feminism makes a lot more sense. I'm not sure why "gender identity" is in quotes. I think it's inarguable that that cis men and women have a strong...

Though, it probably will end up just being reactionary just like MGTOW is. Well, it's off to a good start by being incredibly TERFy. Well I'm not aware of there being a visible pro-trans movement or sentiment in South Korea, so it's not surprising. OTOH, just because South Korean 4B is transphobic,...

Any one here good with mediawiki code (not Lua) and template stuff?

It really be feeling like this lately.

What I'm saying is that the electorate was very clear about what their chief concerns were: By far the most important issue was the economy. Headline inflation is finally down to a reasonable level. This was a signature achievement of the Biden administration. However, the cost of most household go...

That and also the 4B movement needs to come to America I've heard of the 4H organization, but not the 4B - sorry; could you elaborate, please? The four nos: no sex, no marriage, no having children, no dating Basically it's MGTOW but women. Women who choose to be volcel. Though, it probably will end...

Originally I had it that the ablaut classes in Vrkhazhian verbs would be random and have no clear origin, but I had recently decided to make them dependent on certain stem types: G-stem (ground stem or basic stem) D-Stem (doubled stem or geminate stem), and L-stem (lengthened stem). Realis / Irreali...

Yes, though we don't know how strong those mechanisms will be. Our system, unlike the UK's, was built with multiple friction points. One is the Senate filibuster. At any point the Senate could simply vote to throw it out. It hasn't been done, because it's the parliamentary nuclear option: obviously...

Think his will actually happen or be feasible? (also, fuck paywalls)

Same here. I am a city person, and the only problem I have with country people is the fact that many country people seem to hate people different from themselves, something that those slides do nothing to dispel (and if anything reinforce). Did the two of you miss the slides where it talks about ho...

More people need to realize the banality of evil. The dystopia will not be cool, sleek, and hip. It'll be boring, grey and you won't even notice its creep.

There's so many people on social media that don't take the Project 2025 document seriously. Also, regarding this: I think there’s one good reason to be respectful, namely because that would make it easier to have a discussion with them and possibly change their opinions. As justified as impoliteness...

You seem to expect the Democrats to prostrate themselves before the Republican base and never say anything that may slightly offend them while the Republicans constantly shit on anything left of, well, far-right with impunity. Yeah, it's a ridiculous double standard [hr] it seems like there's peopl...
