|    The rise of the Transmaids    |

      From: julianlzb87@gmail.com              Feminism now means bending to the demands of men in frocks.                     A recent book by veteran feminist campaigner Julie Bindel bears the       title Feminism For Women. Twenty years ago, this might have seemed       silly; of course feminism and women go together, like Ant and Dec or       Jack and Coke. But now, it’s a timely reminder. Because quite a few       women who call themselves feminists actually practise a sort of       Frankenfeminism which, whatever their intention, ends up gratifying men       and degrading women.              The Transmaids (a woman who acts in a servile manner towards men, like a       handmaid, but only if that man wears a frock) are the worst – I’ll deal       with them later. But feminism-for-men (‘meninism’ – not to be confused       with ‘Leninism’, though misogyny definitely comes more from the left       than the right in these strange days) has been with us for quite some       time. In 2005 Ariel Levy published her brilliant book, Female Chauvinist       Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture, which dissected the alleged       rise of female ‘empowerment’ through such pursuits as pornography,       pole-dancing, Slut Walks, one-night hook-ups and basically everything       frat boys want from women. As Levy asked, ‘Why does the new liberation       look so much like the old objectification?’.              https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/10/28/the-rise-of-the-transmaids/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
