The topic of getting mad at the internet doesn't really apply to me, but I do want to wander into this discussion. You don't have to physically touch a child to prey on them or cause them harm. If anyone reads the messages in the pedophile or child victim threads and doesn't think he's causing kids harm you need to give your head a shake.
Yaniv has a B cup and they definitely are not hot.

That's the real irony of the wokefolk arguing that people that are legitimate "classical liberals" are "ackshually far-right conservatives!" - any substantial deviation from previous political positions makes the antecedent positions "conservative". If I think MLK had the right idea, or that the non-violent suffragettes were correct about universal suffrage, defending those positions is de-facto conservatism, because I'm attempting to conserve traditions that I feel have value, even though the positions were "progressive", when they were being pursued.
Feminism is pretty cool, but the kind on commonly found on GC has been just swamped by people who are even less well versed in the theory involved than I am but who instead think they're experts and it was really telling when they didn't stop the anti-tranny circlejerk for that big protest for abortion rights a month or so back.
Also Cathy Brennan, official terven lesbian mom of this here webzone, went on the warpath against them for being homophobic and actually genuinely hating trans people.

WOLF was what started it. And all the people orbiting Posie Parker as some kind of new feminist Christ figure while she was actually a conservative. I put it in the GC Feminists thread a while ago, but a direct quote was "Gender Critical Feminism is Homophobic" and well, that's what r/gc identifies as, along with a certain clique of people on twitter (twitter GC'ers were the ones she was fighting with when she said those things about them.)

I still don't see how her or anyone gets "homophobic" out of that unless Cathy's taking it to mean that if you're with Heritage you're automatically against say gay marriage. I mean, if you go through r/gc there's no evidence they have an issue with homosexual being such. Their issue is clearly with QT--Cathy's was almost virulently so in the day--and she could go after them for that. I just wonder why not.

One of the big problems is they are very bad at pretending to support GNC people. I don't know how often you check on them but there's been all kinds of examples of them complaining about people breaking gender roles. Here's the first post I made right after I'd found her twitter posts on the subject: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/terfs...critical-feminists.15152/page-60#post-4782784
They're really eager to throw other feminists under the bus just to get back at the evil TRA machinations and what have you.

That post is a lot of source material that I want to go through in depth, but honestly, over years I haven't heard them have issues with anyone's orientation or presentation. They get upset at males saying they're women especially, less upset but far from affirming about females saying they're men. I think both them and their detractors like r/gendercynical are caught in an ideological loop here. If ANYONE uses the can and swiftly leaves, it's 99 percent not an issue as most people do in fact do that. If anyone's hanging around the can, people will notice them more. If they're the opposite sex, usually that'll be noticed even more. I mean, the solution for everyone obviously would be to observe universal can etiquette and leave. That said, common sense is difficult to legislate, so you get ppl like Yaniv who are obviously hard to legislate against.

Who cares about Brennan, have you seen her IRL record of harrassment? Her other shit? She's fucking nuts and best ignored. Unless she reaches Cow status.
Terves aren't even people with shared values any more, other that the obvious terving which even then is of many varieties. They're, how can I put this......a spectrum. Ahem. Loads are gay, yet you have ones like Caroline Farrow who has some rather questionable television appearences in the UK talking about the gays. Herce the move to terve - where did that start anyway it is smart. Covers most things I just said.

I want to be a good little radfem cos I can't afford a new chain to the kitchen sink but I don't want to wax anyone's balls, especially not those of a fat sweaty fake tranny "model" with tampons up his arse.
Have you any advice to resolve this cognitive dissonance?
Ive wanted an opportunity to say this and now I have it; I don't think there's anything particularly "radical" about being a trans exclusionary feminist.
I disagree. True some of her targets call themselves GC but it's actually just part of a package of bigotry (like the aforementionned Caroline Farrow) but it's far too small a sample to tar all of tervery with the bigot label.

GC is just a typical reddit shithole full of self-fellating circlejerking idiots smelling their own farts. There are a few oldguard lesbian grandmas who know their shit but the majority of them are just twitter dangerhair libfems who got kicked out of their own circlejerks for not liking trannies enough, brokebrain cluster-b womanchildren looking for an other to blame their unhappy catlady femcel lives on, and normalfag boomer moms from the UK who got scared by a tranny menace article on breitbart. The only real thing holding them together is hating trannies and being reddit trash.
You're completely right in thinking most of them know the theory even less than you. To most of them, feminism is just circlejerking over "predator tranny" outrage porn and demanding respect they have no intention of doing anything to earn.

Get a real job. Learn to repair airconditioners or lay tile or something. Waxing vaginas part-time from your house is about as respectable as selling avon, and if a man did it he'd be considered a laughingstock and a failure. Demanding equality means giving up the ability to live like a useless womanchild and have society expect no better from you.

"Radical" is a term from the 1950's and 60's differentiating first-wave feminism that focused solely on civil rights from second-wave feminism that aimed to radically redefine femininity. It has nothing to do with trannies.

This is what I don't understand about radical feminism. The fight is over in Western society and we have equality (in some cases, such as the draft, we have the advantage. We get the benefits without the responsibility) The framework is there and it's up to us to make it work, but this new wave of feminism seems to be about draconian social engineering and insidious almost-emasculation. Oh, and that wearing a black tablecloth is the ultimate in female freedom (I will never understand that particular alliance from hell.)
You're resisting a lot of it down in Oz; you've retained a type of stoicism and refusal of arsebaggery that makes life a lot simpler in the workplace. I worked for an Australian company and in many ways it would be considered disgustingly sexist but in actuality it was by far the fairest; the general consensus assumes and expects you will fight your own battles and not go squealing to teacher about the nasty boys using rude words, reeeeeee.
It's probably because the landscape and everything in it is trying to kill you - being attacked by rabid grass and knowing every insect everywhere is a small, evil blob of painful death must concentrate the mind. And that's without even taking the drop-bears into consideration.
As for me, I shall take your esteemed advice and branch out. I'm going to become a hooker. A series of £5 knee-tremblers is infinitely more palatable than waxing Yaniv's cheesy scrotum.
Spoilering this cos it's a bit OT. Why we need annoying dominant males even if they are irritating as fuck...
We had a TV show a few years back where they set up an iron age village - it had been done in the 70's and this was the reboot, the idea being they'd live as a tribe for a year. The 70's mob had set up a traditional hierarchy with a strong male chief elected and they lasted the whole year.
So the BBC gather together the usual mottley bunch attracted to the theory of living outside 20thC mores. They were all very wholesome and earnest, there was even a druid in there (twat!) And the first thing this bunch of soggy lettuces do is elect a female chief, because this time round they we're going to create an equal commune of love, flowers and mutual respect. None of that patriarchal shit. Did they elect her because she had shown organisational skills or relevant knowledge? Well....no. But she had made up a song, so that was nice.
By Day 3 they have no food left and have no idea how to get more. There's no regular water and everyone's freezing. The students have turned one tent into bong central and are doing nothing except getting blasted and shagging. So they call a big meeting heavy on the respect and mimsying where their chief explains she "doesn't like to tell people what to do." But they all agree about the communal love, respect and community feeling. Man. Not a lot is resolved but they're sure it'll all work out; they're feeling good and connected now with renewed purpose. But no plans.
Two weeks later they've all got food poisoning - they were given a dead sheep or something to start them off and they continued eating it after it went bad (even tho the Druid blessed it by playing his magic pipes over it. Then turned it into an inedible stew) because nobody sorted anything else. No latrines have been dug or water rota set. No sandals have been knitted, no peace beads made. Nobody is singing the song any more. They're all hunched in bitchy little groups, blaming each other and backstabbing their chief, and if that fucking druid plays those fucking pipes one more time...
Then they all got cholera and the H&S shut the whole thing down. Clanger fell off the sofa laughing.
Turns out maybe we do need annoying, shouty, dominant men. The civilisation and patriarchy they eschewed so vehemently is the basis giving them the luxury to opt out...and opt back in when it all goes tits-up.

That's third-wave feminism. Radical feminism is very much about women taking responsibility and earning respect instead of just demanding platitudes and lipservice. That's probably why it's so much more unpopular.

Meh. What they needed was a leader. A woman could've done that but she would've had to have been a leader type who knew wtf they were doing. You would've had the same result if the fucking druid with the pipes was in charge no matter how many times he referenced his dick.
Cathy Brennan is a cow but the kind of cow who is often right. Which is an odd combination, but she's managed. There is more to the Posey Parker thing though, namely that she had an old YouTube account with some pretty cruel homophobic memes she had made. It's not like people just started calling her homophobic out of nowhere. They did have a specific reason behind it beyond a general dislike of her overall politics. So faced with this obvious evidence a lot of lesbian GCers were pissed off that the straight GCers didn't seem to care and in fact defended her.
That's third-wave feminism. Radical feminism is very much about women taking responsibility and earning respect instead of just demanding platitudes and lipservice. That's probably why it's so much more unpopular.
Oh well, there you have it. I'm obviously far too stupid for anything beyond the "equality" bit.
Edit @SourDiesel I'm not saying a woman couldn't have done it (I said they didn't elect the female chief for her leadership skills) but the mimsy communal approach only works if there is a safety net. Either way, the project relied on somebody taking the traditional male leadership role and not giving a fuck whether they were liked, or whether meetings ended in a group hug. Civilisations are built on the ultra-dominant few, and the attributes are more traditionally male.
Yes, it would have had the same outcome under the soggy druid, or the mother who thought she'd get communal kiddycare of her brats or the shagging students. And it would've been just as funny, because they didn't grasp the basic idea that societies aren't built on Nice. And it was fucking hilarious...
