Ladies, have you been practicing your hand-hearts for International Women’s Day (IWD) on 8th March? In other words, have you been practicing being sweet-hearts for “a world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive”? If you’ve just done a massive eyeball roll, I’m with you there. I clearly recognise the coded language used now which brings that on. It’s the language that sweetly coerces us women into letting men who refer to themselves as women into our spaces and sports, innocuous though that language may seem at first glance.
How many examples can we give about how all the "be kind" messaging is only really for us natal females? Men have prostate cancer, but people with a cervix have cervical cancer. Who knows if I have a cervix and who can I ask and not feel dumb for not knowing?
"So where does “be kind” take us if we think our thoughts through to the end?
It takes us to a land, where in a quest to prioritize the feelings of men, women and mothers no longer exist; where relationships disappear, where the connections between what we do and who we are, are considered less important than an ideology and where even prestigious medical journals feel it appropriate to refer not to women, but to “people with vaginas”. Nope, I don’t see any kindness being beneficial here to anyone. Count me out." https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/erasing-mothers-erasing-relationships
2019 NCW welcomed those 'identifying as women' into the fold (appropriate collective noun note pun) of the National Council of (once were biological) women.
The old message for women was 'think of others' (usually men)
always before yourself and now it's been reframed to 'be kind' to others (usually men) before yourself. It was always a forgone conclusion that children were included in this. I stopped feeling kind some time ago.
I agree with everything you say. Maybe it's good that this is happening so blatantly with such fury. If they weren't so violent and aggressive it might have crept up on us and become more difficult to see and rail against.
Sorry for the intrusion, but I need some who are prepared to nominate me for Green Party co-leader. Telephone and email contact details are on this post. I only signed up as a Green Party member a few days ago myself. But I am serious although of course I know that I stand little chance of winning it. Still I might be able to peak a few.

Well said

I’m a real man. I find that photo of a group of ‘men’ packed together, grinning like wolves, showing all their teeth, shockingly offensive.
They are snarling.
The man who loves you is quiet and modest. He admires you, watches over you, protects you, and smiles.
Beware of the man who shows his teeth.
