Not just women
The ACLU is right in line with the current craze for reviving misogyny.
Yeah. Those selfish greedy mean women trying to keep pregnability just for themselves. EVERYONE can get pregnant. EVERYONE can be forced to drop out of high school because he gets pregnant. EVERYONE can lose his chance to go to university because he gets pregnant. EVERYONE can be forced to give up a job because his employers don’t provide maternity parental leave. EVERYONE can spend nine months getting increasingly uncomfortable and tired. EVERYONE can push a baby out of a narrow channel with considerable sweat and pain. EVERYONE can provide milk for an infant. EVERYONE can face the practical difficulties of providing milk for a baby while going to university or working at a job. EVERYONE can do all of this, and none of this is an interruption or disruption of plans that affects only women, women only. Not at all. Women are just women; the hell with them.
An interesting question comes to my mind: How many men must be involved with something before it must take precedence over the rights of all women? It’s obviously not a big number or the particulars of pregnancy wouldn’t need to be redefined. Is it 100? – 10? – or just 1 with an aggressive social media penetration?
Pliny, this movie quote explains:
Why do I get the feeling that they actually aren’t so much concerned about being inclusive for the sake of transmen as they are about having another opportunity to deny use of the word “woman”?
“The smaller the attendance the bigger the history. There were 12 people at The Last Supper. Half a dozen at Kitty Hawk. Archimedes was on his own in the bath.”
LOL! thanks, I needed that this morning.
“everyone who can get pregnant, not just women” Some kind of invalid reverse syllogism?
Everyone who can get pregnant is a woman,
Women who are not women can get pregnant,
Therefore we have a logic problem.
In keeping with twiliter using the word “invalid”. Jesus and Mo is relevant:

Heh heh heh.
Spot the odd one out:
Only people with a womb can get pregnant.
Only women have wombs.
Men can get pregnant.
Yeah, tricky question, isn’t it?
Words mean things,
Words don’t really mean things,
Therefore, we have a biology problem.
If only I’d realized sooner that I only had to
convince otherstell otherssomehow have others read my mind and know I wished to be treated as though I was apersonman, I could have avoid all the sexist, misogynistic, patronizing bullshit I’ve had to deal with! Silly ladybrain! *teehee*/s
According to Leonardo Da Vinci, there were 13 people at the Last Supper.

Colin, it depends on ones point of view. Were there were twelve people and one snake in the grass? Alternatively, twelve people and one deity (technically twelve and a-half people)?
No corresponding attempt to ‘de-sex’ say…sperm production. This crap is only directed at women.
I suspect a lot of the trans advocates are afraid of men. Men have power, men have muscular strength, men have size, and men have a sense of entitlement that matches that of the trans.
Women have much less power, much less muscular strength, on average are smaller, and tend to have been trained into an attitude that they aren’t worth much, and need to be nice.
Which would you rather face in a fight, someone your size or larger with political clout to boot? Or someone smaller and weaker, and despised by at least a plurality of the dominant political class?
Colin Day @11, in my movie quote @2, Steve Coogan plays the music promoter Tony Wilson, reassuring a musician who just played a gig with a disappointing turnout.
So the words “attendance” and “at” (The Last Supper) mean Jesus had a gig, and the turnout for Jesus was the 12 people who attended his gig.
The movie trailer shows some context.
OB, great rant. I needed this.
