Modern activism is often performative, rehearsed, and utterly out of touch with reality. Here, I make the bold claim that men and women are, on average, different heights. That appears to have been a bridge too far.
Are men taller than women on average? If you needed another reason to abandon the universities, here it is.

So when those of us on the left talked about the lab leak hypothesis for over a year, and were called “right wing” as a result, how do you categorize that? Who’s engaging in fake news now? How did the left come to be the demographic that doesn’t understand what science is?
The research is the latest in a series of studies that show people on the political right tend to not only be targeted by fake news, but to believe it's correct.

The ways that we *describe* math are, no doubt, a social construct, but math itself is the discovery of underlying reality.

Sex is binary.
Binary means having two states.
Hermaphroditic species reveal the sex binary: male into female, or vice versa, or both at once. Male, female: two states.
Humans are no exceptions to the rules of biology, just because you don’t know what binary means…
Sex (like all traits) is not binary. Gender (which is a social construct ) is not binary.

So many words have been abused into meaninglessness: feminist, racist, fascist...& now many authoritarians are representing the “left." I want my word back. Better yet, a political apparatus that neither caves nor panders to such rhetoric.
@HeatherEHeying
Don't worry Heather, we are coming for racist white women like you to. You and the other Aunt Lydias of this country will lose power as the brutal white men you defend are taken down and punished. It will be gender neutral, don't worry. ALL the trash will be taken out.

Yep: ever more doses and masks, restrictions and fear-mongering. Fewer questions, asked or answered. That seems to be the direction we’re going.

On International Women's Day, here's your reminder that the ACLU doesn't give a flying f*ck about women. They're too busy scoring fashionable, patently absurd, political points to care about reality, or remember their own roots.

“It says something when you’re at a BLM protest, & you have more minorities on the police side than...in a violent crowd, & you have white people screaming at black officers, ‘you have the biggest nose I’ve ever seen’.”
A hateful movement with clever branding is still hateful.

Reaching across the aisle is admirable. A virtue, even.
When I was a professor, one of our explicit goals was to encourage "learning across significant differences."
The cartoonification of others into two-dimensional enemies worthy of derision and scorn helps no one.
If you are a Republican in 2023, you are a fascist.
If you are married to/in a relationship with a Republican in 2023, you are a fascist.
If you are friends with a Republican in 2023, you are a fascist.
At some point, your actions need to match your memes.
It’s a low bar.

I think all girls should be given the strong counter-narrative as early as possible that they do not have to accept traditional female norms, but that desire for children or a partner is not regressive, and that no, their lives are not just for them. We are all in this together.
I think all girls should be given the strong counter-narrative from as early age as possible that they do not have to ever have children, or get married, and that their lives can just be for them.
This is totally missing at present. Might build some stuff around it.

, I say no to backwards “grab ‘em by the pussy” misogyny, and to upside-down “men are women if they say so” misogyny.
I choose equal opportunity without expectation of equal outcomes, celebration of differences, and working together for a better future.

A mother refers to her six year old male child as a daughter, and provides specialty underwear that obscures said child’s penis. The child “has no dysphoria,” and “couldn’t care less.”
This is child abuse.
4. Not dysphoric at age 6, no problem with penis. Mom got the tucking underwear. This is not an uncommon thing that some parents report. Why are such children considered the opposite sex by their parents? Who has encouraged them to think this way?

Using a scientific credential to bully those who don’t have one, and to promote ignorant and wrong things, is anti-scientific, foolish and wrong. Y’all wonder why distrust of science and scientists is high now? Look no farther. You’re creating the problem. /end

To summarize: the human lineage has been sexually reproducing for at least 500 million years.
Males produce tiny zippy gametes (sperm). Females produce large, sessile gametes (eggs). And it’s been that way for a very long time. /end

Sex is not a social construct. Question those who claim otherwise.
@yslexdia
Before you even existed, two gametes--one egg, and one sperm--contained the chromosomes that would become yours. At the 23rd position, if the sperm was X, you are female, if the sperm was Y, male. Not only aren't chromosomes "assigned," they literally pre-exist the individual.

Woman, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Not all women make babies. Not all women are objects of the male gaze. Not all women are or act feminine. All women, however, are adult human females.
TERFism actually upholds patriarchy by gatekeeping femininity, insisting that the boundaries of womanhood are drawn by sexual and/or reproductive organs. By reinforcing existing gender binaries, TERFs lock women into the male gaze: whether for baby-making or mere sexualization.
