Guest post: Women must not be permitted to say “no”
Originally a comment by Cluecat on Calling themselves “Gold Command”.
It’s interesting, though isn’t it, that they have to do this each time.
They absolutely must go all out, every time, to attack, smear, dismiss any woman who dares to try to set a boundary. Any boundary. Particularly around a definition of female that excludes males – as with Sex being correctly defined as reality, not Vewy Speshul Identitay.
Women must not be permitted to say “no”. That’s the whole thing – it gives the game away entirely.
If women can say “No, males are not female”, then they will start getting the idea that they can say “no” to males under other circumstances, and that is totally unacceptable to these doodz (and the male-identified women supporting them – feeding the crocodile in the hope that he’ll be too full to eat them. It doesn’t work).
“Be Kind!” isn’t working any more, since a lot of women have spotted the pattern – it’s only ever us that will be expected to shut up and let the males trample all over us. Same as it ever was.
It’s why the attacks on women who say “no” to men are so vicious, why there are whole campaigns to destroy reputations and lives, and why these people will not stop. They can’t. Their whole worldview will come tumbling down, and they can’t admit that.
We cannot be allowed to say “no”. We cannot be permitted to be fully human, otherwise the attacks on us are unacceptable, and others would have to admit that they were wrong, that we do not deserve this.
We will not recant.
Nobody said “no” to them as children; at least, not without backing down when challenged, so they learnt that “no” was just the first word in a negotiation. They were taught that all they had to do to come out on top was to increase the level of anger and violence they displayed.
No wonder they feel entitled to demand whatever they want and are shocked at anyone saying “no” and meaning it. That’s not how their world worked when they were young, at the time their parents/caregivers should have been setting boundaries to enable them to fit in with society.
And demanded teachers and schools give them what they want. Many schools acquiesced. That’s one reason why so many students came into my classes with As in high school algebra, then couldn’t even recognize algebra when they saw it, let alone work an equation that didn’t have everything plugged in for them so all they had to do was push buttons on a calculator (and seriously, one of my students couldn’t find the “billions” button on her calculator! And another whipped out a calculator to multiply by 1).
Now that has bled into the colleges, which are more and more being run like businesses, and the customer must always be right. And we must use special pronouns. And we must accommodate their special need to sleep late and miss our class, without any penalty.
I decided it was time to retire.
