The US election was also a great example of how much power legacy media has lost when it comes to influencing election outcomes.

Anyone propping up unprofitable propaganda rags (nobody comes to mind) will stop the moment those assets can no longer deliver. They aren't done yet but the graves are being dug.

The circle jerk thread in GBS is the same group of She Speaks For Me hillfolk insiders reposting the same things every day non stop.

I guess they're desperately craving validation or something. On SA of all places. And Auspol at that.

Criticism of TERF is applied to second wave exclusively but white feminist criticisms of third wave exist though not as pronounced or severe than against second wave. Third wave feminism was the early gestation of intersectionality so while it exists it isn't as pronounced as the fourth wave, alongside arguments of feminism and social class/caste. Its most often expressed in brief "their hearts in the right place but they're ignorant."

Full disclosure i'm a third waver.

Sorry but any movement more recent than Wollstonecroft is actually a deviant heresy.

Opposition Leader Steven Marshall has admitted Chinese mining magnate Sally Zou has been to his house, but stressed he had not received any personal gifts from her.

This morning Mr Marshall faced further questioning over a potential $1.2 million donation from Ms Zou, which she tweeted about last week.

Now, more information about the $1,212,018 cheque has emerged — it appears to be the same date as Mr Marshall's birthday.

Cue me and the other guy trying not to facepalm while trying to explain that maybe, just maybe, men and women are socialised differently and respond differently to different styles of communication...

*Sigh*. You heard it here first, folks, the anti man agenda is alive and well.

Just while we're on misogyny chat, I met a guy who was convinced we were a matriarchal society. And his reasoning was that a lot more advertising money is spent targeting women than me, ergo, matriarchy. I'm not exagerating, that was the beginning and end of his reasoning.

He was also one of those 'women just aren't geared for STEM' while being a loving account manager at an advertising firm.

But did you deadlift him and hurl his body from the trees in a display of primal power?

The funniest part about the boomer outrage is that if you're pushing retirement and you don't have 400+K in equity on your house (let alone any investments), then what the gently caress we're you doing these last 15 years?

The youth eat avocados, the boomers spend 5-10 grand a year on flights to Europe and/or cruises.
