TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

And it wasn’t the last time. Remember super Tuesday?

In my memory people considered them meh at best but I had some fun. I remember the DS version in particular being pretty dope.

This is exactly the issue. The bar was set so low. He was barely able to put together a coherent response to the infanticide claims, which was something even the lowest of information voters know is a lie. He let Trump walk all over him on immigration even though Biden put together a “bipartisan” plan that was just a Republican wishlist. If Biden had articulated any of that we’d probably be having a different conversion.

I believe librera and koreader are really the only names in the game atm

They can always claim the second even when it’s the first.

People here are seriously not a fan of videos 🤷‍♀️ . Don’t take it personally it pretty much always goes like this.

As mod however I very much appreciate your posting.

I’ve known a few people whose gender I would describe as lovecraftian.

I bet they’d have a decent case against Georgia (IANAL)

Pretty sure India is mostly selling Russia’s old arms back to them. The new stuff should probably be interpreted as an attempt to build a counterbalance to China in the region (as in deliberate, longstanding US defense policy).

Seems like it’s less a problem with pixelfed and more an issue with pixelfed.social?

Big fan of this show. Went in with minimal expectations and found my new favorite show. Hope it doesn’t go the way of lost

Many people who have a problem with the name feminism are nonbinary people, who want equality but have been excluded from the movement by enbyphobic women, AKA TERFs.

I assert that the quantity of nbs who hold this opinion is so small as to be negligable and that ceding a major right wing talking point for gender equity for nbs (a group in which I, and the majority of my social circle are a part of) is mostly just ceding a right wing talking point.

Put another way, the idea that “feminism” is an insufficient term is tantamount to “all lives matter”.

Well this is a debate about prescriptivism vs descriptivism, right?

No I don’t think so.

You’re arguing we should stick to the “intended” meaning. But at what point does denying the evolution of language to become more transphobic deny the genuine harms suffered by trans people?

I’m arguing that your particular claimed usage of feminism as a transphobic term (that is, the general inclusion of NBs as a class for whom feminism benefits is tantamount to gendering them female) simply doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. This is distinct from the issue of women’s spaces explicitly including NBs feels like misgendering (which is valid).

The premise of this community is fundamentally dependent on the idea that being a beneficiary of feminism MUST be entirely seperate from being gendered female.

It’s not that there must be a class that suffers, it’s that there is.

Throwing out feminism because it does not essentialise trans and NB rights feels like very poor praxis. From the perspective of one individual assessing the views of another, I don’t disagree with your metric, but I disagree with your application of the ideas to the broader movement. Particularly in so far as it grants to right wingers that feminism is a sexist term.

The debate around terminology for spaces intended for women (and the tendency for folks to make nebulous assertions about the inclusion of NBs) seems to me to be an entirely separate issue.

Fundamentally, I see what you’re saying but I’d like to push back on the idea that the term “feminism” needs rethinking at this point in time.

I’d even go so far as to say the parent comment where a rejection of the term feminism is portrayed as tantamount to “all lives matter” is more correct than the idea that “feminism” is a poor term because it feels like misgendering. This is a space centered around the idea that feminism is good for men because feminism is not a term that should leave you feeling gendered in it’s primary usage.

You’re being downvoted, but even though most wouldn’t express it explicitly, men consistently demonstrate a very similar danger response to other men as women.

Swing and a miss, mate. Many people who have a problem with the name feminism are nonbinary people, who want equality but have been excluded from the movement by enbyphobic women, AKA TERFs.

I’m not sure the mere existence of TERFs has led to any significant movement to rename feminism among the NB community.

Terrorist attacks are not more likely to be committed by somebody you know intimately than anybody else.
