I've always assumed that part of reason men show so much sexual interest in teenage girls/virgins is they have this myth that inexperienced girls don't recognise bad sex. This is not true. The first guy I had sex with was inept at it and I was well aware that my body was not experiencing an orgasm.

All day I’ve seen women in the nominal left pleading that they hate Gloria Steinem too but maybe not all feminism is corrupt and bourgeois. Ladies … stand up.

The feminist movement that Steinem did much to mainstream and expand is in retreat, with women’s rights and status eroding conspicuously, and I’d like the usual suspects to consider this before they go on their ahistorical little rants about how she was a CIA stooge or whatever.

The problem with blaming the media for Arday's story is that media caters to what people want to read. And people are gossipy, bloodthirsty goblins.

When I went to a doctor about a UTI, I asked how long I should abstain from sex. He looked confused and said sex and UTIs had nothing to do with each other. Um, honeymoon cystitis, hi???

So now that anti-trans activists have more or less got what they wanted, has life improved for any women in the UK? Have any women been protected from abusive partners? Have childcare provisions improved? Do we all feel great about our bodies now? Is a single woman happier or safer or more free?

Helen Lewis, I think, still considers herself a feminist. It's a very bad idea for feminists to claim that what can't be seen doesn't count. Trauma from abuse or sexual assault can't be measured in a lab. Feminism has been built on the idea that taking women's experiences seriously is important.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing. they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors. their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen. their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

Equality of rights is a baseline precondition for a liberal democracy, and advocating for the end of that condition is not compatible with a commitment to the liberal democratic project.

The thing about the Epstein files is that for Trump, deflecting the fact that he went to some parties or wrote some gross notes is child’s play. So whatever is in them must be bad enough that TRUMP thinks is bad. Like, what sexual behaviour could TRUMP think is inexcusable??

Helen Lewis seems to think she's part of a moderate, feminist led branch of the GC movement made up of nice ladies who just care about women's rights and protecting teenagers and are happy to use pronouns and behave courteously. No such movement exists! Any actual feminists have jumped ship long ago

It's so weird to me that people find it inexplicable that women are choosing to have fewer or no children nowadays. Sure, for some people it's related to finances but the hand-wringing ignores the simple explanation that a lot of people just don't want to be parents because it's...not...that...good?

Fucking pathetic. The thing about the GCs is that they want to be hailed as great feminist heroes. They want to be petty and cruel and direct all their vicious bigotry and disgust at a tiny maligned demographic, with the backing of all the highest powers in the land, and be adored for it.
From @glosswitch:

After the Supreme Court ruling, I feel more depressed about how appallingly gender-critical women have been and are treated. I felt the same after the Cass Review came out. It's like you have to hold it all in, not think about it, just get through this bit, then the next. >
