Well funny story, completely unexpected, but wouldn't you know it but people keep unearthing posts from prominent LGB alliance members saying how they should remove the G and the B too! What are the odds

e: and every group there is called like "Safety For Women" or something and not one mentions the G or B either! How odd!

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

The Tories want to but everything is going to poo poo much more than in the EU so the EU gets to use it as a weapon instead.

Once again it's revealing that the Tories are only in power because the state and society crushes opposition to them, the Tories aren't actually good at doing things.

i think it comes from the handmaiden's tale being used as an analogy for biological women being "repressed" in the gender crit sense and her responding to that extremely negatively, iirc

re delta+:

gonadic io posted:

Variant discourse is starting up again which I guess is a prelude to the gov maybe doing something about having the highest sustained number of cases over the last few months in western europe, except that even in a whole article about the new variant and its possibly increased transmission when they actually quote the source at the bottom of the article, well,

quote:

“We shouldn’t be blaming the virus for what is going on in the UK,” said Gupta. “It is because we have fundamentally failed to control transmission, and that is because kids are vulnerable, they have not been vaccinated, they are back at school, they are spreading virus among themselves and they are feeding it into their families.”

Also since then I've seen some good points raised that the whole horror in the handmaid's tale is basically: what if slavery happened to white women too

i.e. similar to all the previous points about how 2nd wave feminism is strictly from the white middle-class woman's perspective and is not intersectional at all

They are mostly basing their perception of Patriarchy on gender and only gender when it's also Class dependent and *gasp* some women largely profited from it. Can you guess which ones? So lol expecting them to be inter-sectional...
Also the Handmaiden Tales is a funny book when you consider that billions of dollars are invested each year into biotech research and you can be sure some people are working really hard to have births happen without female mammal bodies. It's not even a good anticipation book, in a good sci-fi anticipation book the baby nazis come straight out of the factories, no women involved in weird slavish breeding roles.

I've never read the book so correct me if it's different, but it bugged me that what I saw of the show seemed to completely sidestep even the slightest addressing of the inevitable white supremacy an American Evangelical theocracy would be super into.
