I agree. I'm complaining about the weird characterization in the thread.

I do agree that "let's just give her a PhD because then we get to say Naomi Wolf got her PhD from us" sounds like a likely hypothesis. Which sucks, because there are good women who've done and are doing PhD's in history, and literary studies, and women's studies, and queer theory, and all of those! She's just not one of them, but gets way more exposure.

It's a marketing gimmick, not a race war.

The critical thing for a social network to work is to get as many people as possible to sign up. The gender phrenology is just a gimmick to get people to sign up and try the app. Nobody at the company actually cares if 70% of their users end up being dudes who cleverly fooled the app, that just makes the number of users look bigger to impress advertisers. They can ban the ones who are obvious/creepy later.

But they won't. Because that would require human moderation, which cuts into their VC funds.

You could always just store the tweet data and then spoof up a screenshot as required. Any which way it's still a lot of work.

According to some random person, from the lgbtq+ community, asexuals are not opressed enough, so we are not valid. Being raped, coersed to unwanted sex, and so on, isn't enough.

Also some people hate that we aren't sexually active for some reason :shrug:

I feel as though there is a lot to unpack here re: using the victims sexuality to quantify the harm caused by rape. It's not clear if the random person is the one doing that or the one not doing that.

I think it's the same as nerd gatekeeping. When all you have for your identity is your fandom/sexuality/illness, you get real mad when you think other people are co-opting it.

Yeah I fall on the side of asexuals absolutely welcome, with the caveat that if you're gatekeeping you're not really helping the wider community. We're stronger together than apart, and I'm uncomfortable with saying a certain threshold of pain needs to be objectively reached to be queer.

You start going down that path, you get people cutting out trans people because it's not about sexuality, or bi people because they can 'pass', or whatever stupid poo poo. No thanks.
