I think it’s more that you people refuse to read theory and instead absorb a vibes based idea of feminism from social media before parroting the language with no understanding of its meaning. It still means trans exclusionary radical feminist, you just kept using it without ever learning that.

How can I be arguing they’re feminists when I keep saying they’re not TERFs? You’re the one absolutely insistent that they’re radical feminists.

If you don’t want to legitimise them why have you spent the entire conversation calling them feminists instead of transphobes?
- Comment on 18 hours ago:
No it hasn’t, you just want to legitimise their abhorrent views as feminist.

I think you misunderstand me: Radical Feminism is the belief that patriarchal modes of government are responsible for women’s oppression and must be overthrown through revolution. It doesn’t inherently exclude trans people, but some radical feminists do, leading to them being labelled TERFs, with non-transphobic radical feminists still just being called radical feminists. Regardless of whether you want to count them among feminists, a prerequisite of being a Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist is that you are a Radical Feminist of some form first.
JK Rowling, Graham Lineham, and the vast majority of the GC crowd are not radicals. They do not believe there is anything wrong with our current modes of government. They do not believe in revolution. They are not Radicals Feminists, so can’t be Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists. They are just bog standard transphobes. GC is the term transphobes use to refer to themselves, it’s not limited to TERFs. - Comment on 1 day ago:
Gender “critics” aren’t the same as TERFs, almost none of them are radical feminists. They’re liberal feminists at best, and most of them aren’t any kind of feminist.

Real weird for you to not know about the whole Iraq/Afghanistan debacle, that’s like not knowing about Vietnam.

Financially a bit better, mentally much better, but it really was an easy choice. It was uncomfortable and cold and mentally and physically exhausting and I survived without having to sacrifice a single person. I really don’t want to do it again, but if I was forced to make the same choice now I’d still make the same one.

No, spouses and children don’t change the equation, especially as I’d never marry someone who wouldn’t divorce their spouse if they joined the kill foreigners society. Safety bought with the lives of others isn’t safety, it makes you an acceptable target.

I had the option to join the military and chose homelessness. It’s actually really easy to do the right thing even when you’re desperate.

If you want men to like your body, yes
Can I assume you also believe that women only want hairy men then? Because I’m pretty certain you’re going to get pushback on that too.

None of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/5 actually follow the precedent - it’s not threeth and fiveth - half and quarter are just the clearest. If anything, it’s sixth and upwards (downwards?) that don’t follow the precedent set by the start of the series.

I spent so much time playing MoH: Frontline as a kid. Achievements didn’t exist but it gave you stats at the end of each mission and I replayed the levels over and over until I killed every nazi with only groin shots.
- Comment on A third so far! 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t matter if you disagree, that’s what it is. Socialism is the economic system of communism and anarchism, worker ownership of the means of production, or at the very least the process of moving to that economy. It’s not compatible with capitalism and the private ownership of means of production.

I’ve found quite a lot of places don’t let you accrue leave, but if they don’t carry it over they have to pay you for it instead, so are very eager for you to use all your leave.
- Comment on A third so far! 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t say anything about how you think they should be achieved.
It might not include many specifics but “by eliminating capitalism” is definitely one of them. Without that you’re just describing Keynesian capitalism.

Ah, my friends and I have just been treating almost all pals as communal, so we’ve been blending everything we can get our hands on and passing around spares to use as materials - that then means we also have more powerful pals for the expeditions and raid bosses on top of generally keeping our boxes relatively clear.

Do you not regularly chuck your spares in the

I think the similarity is really with the Pokémon game we imagined would be available by now. I understand the most recent games have taken steps away from the classic formula, but we’ve been imagining stuff like flying around the map on your mons and open world battling for decades. Pocket pair just took that imaginary game and added guns.

It’s 100% about reinforcing the culture of fear and discouraging asylum - if they wanted to filter those in need they’d be spending the money to effectively administer asylum claims instead of leaving them in years of limbo.

Stop being a drama queen, I have worse hardware than a steam machine and can play most modern games at 60fps 1080p on medium settings, or high with fsr. The vast majority of people aren’t targeting 240fps 4k on Ultra.
