Feminism should 100% concentrate on the betterment and empowerment of female human beings. Feminists and feminist movements shouldn't have to lift a finger for males, whether they're cisgender males or transgender. Biological sex matters. Reproductive rights matter. The fact that female humans are an oppressed class under patriarchy matters. That's ALL that loving matters. Males, regardless of what they identify as, should not interfere or seek to include themselves. They are irrelevant to feminism and should recognize themselves to be such.

Also, cis women should simply be called "women".

eh, it's maybe like half-and-half - unlike other places, the 'product' clubs really sell is a social experience and it's an experience the owners are actually expected to deliver, if they don't then their club will fail

for most places the experience is just like, a good time with music, alcohol, friends and strangers of your preferred sex, so most clubs will do things like hiring good DJs while trying to keep the numbers of men and women equal inside even if it means manipulating the order of a queue a bit; if they don't and the club becomes known for being a boring, sausage-fest or whatever then it might fail because that's not what people go to them for - some places do fancier social engineering (if you want to call it that) through marketing, cover fee adjustments, raised/central VIP features, atmosphere/ambiance catering and whatever else to attract certain people because a big part of the experience actually depends on the customers themselves being able to play a certain role, market research shows that some people just want to be seen by others at the VIP platform, for example

places that want to be high end usually want customers that fit their definition of high end so they might charge steep cover prices (that some people can avoid by being hot i guess) or by keeping labyrinthine queuing tiers to try and get in as many of the right people as possible, they don't discriminate against anyone per se by outright denying service but they won't do special favors for just anyone either - that's pretty much the worst-case scenario and it's rare in my experience

going as far as denying service to customers of an unpreferred race/sexuality/whatever crosses more than a few more lines

I'm glad that as a male I don't have to "interfere or seek to include" myself in feminist issues, and so can dedicate myself full time to preserving the reign of our glorious Patriarchy.

People who share their thoughts on TV episodes on facebook as they are happening/shortly after it airs are the worst and are just fishing for people to get pissed at them for "spoiling" it. I don't even care about getting "spoiled" for the most part, I just think it's very annoying attention-seeking behavior on par with posting something like "i'm so mad/sad right now" and being coy about it forever when people ask what's wrong. Go get real non-internet friends, it will make you feel better than watching your like/comments counter go up.

Cis women oppressing transwomen is morally worse than cis men oppressing cis women.

ranking different types of oppressiveness re: gender, sexuality and race is dumb because one type of oppression never actually justifies another.

Along those lines, even ironic "heh bring on white genocide :smug:" shitposting does nothing but you look creepy and weird. Racism and other poo poo like it is bad no matter who it's aimed at.

Do most people have personal memories of believing in Santa and that being good? Because I can't remember that far back, so all I've got is memories of knowing that Santa wasn't real but that you shouldn't say that because adults seemed to be really invested in kids believing it for some reason. As far as I can remember, it's never seemed like a good thing to me.

Most of the "tech advances" we keep crowing over aren't that special or interesting. Many of them are just re-packaged versions of older ideas. The real change is just that a lot of this Sharper-Image-esque bullshit is now "affordable", in that they've convinced you that you should own a "smart" water bottle even though that means nothing, no you don't, and you still owe $40K in student loans.
