I knew it was from Moby Dick before I was in highschool. And I've never read Moby Dick. It's not some obscure bit of trivia dug up by internet weirdos.

I would think you should quickly google a weird English phrase before making fun of someone for having on it on their shirt or bag and assuming it's a dumb foreigner buying something without understanding it. Also context of where the person with the bag was is important. Because if that tweet was mostly seen by people in Dublin on Bloomsday most of the responses would be "awesome bag, where did you get it?"

Just wanted to bring this up again real quick https://twitter.com/awkwardlefty_cj/status/1550868471189164032?t=nVqdkuUWBy2-lmdZ2YMedw&s=09 What is the context for the phrase "daughter of the witches they couldn't burn" and why did it become such a red flag. I seem to remember it being a fairly benign phrase up until a couple years ago. Was I just ignorant?

People who have perpetual victimhood as their sole personality trait made it their rallying cry, because being told to shut the gently caress up is apparently exactly the same as being burned at the stake lol

The 'fun' subtle part of the 'witches you didn't burn' bit is that it implicitly claims the witch trials were justified, because apparently witches are real and their problem was that they didn't get all of them.

Either the remaining unburnt witches were so not a threat to existing power structures, that the authorities (who are known for needing very little to no real or imagined reason to consider someone a threat) considered them beneath their notice, or they survived because they ratted the other witches out.

Cleretic posted:The 'fun' subtle part of the 'witches you didn't burn' bit is that it implicitly claims the witch trials were justified, because apparently witches are real and their problem was that they didn't get all of them. I think the idea is that witches are supposed to be empowered women and the people who burned them did it because they hated that, not because they were actually magical. Which there is some truth to, witch trials were basically just the old timey way of getting your posting enemies permabanned from life. But it is very annoying when people like that go on about women's empowerment when they spend all their time making GBS threads on women.

Out of curiosity, is there a lot of transphobia/TERFism in the Wiccan/Pagan communities, or are they generally chill in that regard?

Read After Burning posted:Out of curiosity, is there a lot of transphobia/TERFism in the Wiccan/Pagan communities, or are they generally chill in that regard? I think TinTower once mentioned to me that there is a weird streak of sex/gender essentialism with some of them, bit of an overlap with the weird "I am a woman because I bleed and give birth and if you don't do that all the time and like it then you're not one" types. No idea how common it is though, but I would imagine that type is probably a little overrepresented because if you're already obsessed with that bit of your life it's probably nice to have some mystical support for it. Personally it seems unambitious compared to the people who thought it would be cool if we could just eliminate all inconvenience and if you don't want to menstruate you shouldn't have to, but then some other people got weird about that.

My partner and I are both trans, and my sister in law is a pretty dedicated wiccan. She's incredibly wonderful about trans issues despite being cis herself. Obviously she doesn't represent the majority- she herself has said how loving dismal a lot of the community actually is in that regard, but she's at least a great showcase that the religion itself isn't rooted in that horseshit.

I generally assume the religion or philosophy is always the smoke screen for the reaction. The TERF was always there, looking for a justification.
