I mean, it seems obvious they just want to be bigots. I don’t know how else you can explain these hyperventilating over a trans woman winning a race as if it’s the end of womenhood. Unlike say, I dunno, a drunken rapist getting onto the Supreme Court. Also how they constantly flirt with the old religious right-wing group without giving a single thought on how they’re romping around with old men who are fighting tooth and nail to secure the patriarchy’s future after they die. It’s almost as if they have given up on feminism in lieu of crusades against types of people they simply don’t like

Looking over the response to the latest Contra video on twitter, and the glincel/mumsnet set is pretty much ignoring it.

Somebody who calls themselves a feminist could easily be bigoted in other ways, too.

I’m really into the efficiency of this one. It seems to cover more ground than the last few without sacrificing the performative qualities she’s been cultivating over the last few years.

So that video, as well as other articles I’ve watched/read on similar topics, spends a lot of time talking about what gender isn’t. It isn’t what genitals someone has; it isn’t their personality; it isn’t their appearance or how they conform to stereotypes; it isn’t their role in society or what prejudice they’ve experienced. That’s all fine, but it still doesn’t answer the most important question: what is gender, then, if not any of the above? How does someone define it? I want to make it clear that I don’t agree with the groups Contra is complaining about. Above all else I believe that people should mind their own business and not dictate to others how to live their lives, and that includes telling them what bathrooms to use and so on. Nevertheless the underlying argument, that gender is a social construct with no intrinsic meaning, basically aligns with how I see the world. I just can’t comprehend the idea of gender identity and what it feels like to have one. Apologies in advance if I said something offensive. I didn’t intend to, but it’s a sensitive topic so I might have ended up doing so.

The problem is that, while it's very clear that gender is a thing that exists in people's brains, and many people feel extremely strongly that they are a particular gender, it's so inextricably tied to social and cultural factors that it is impossible to come up with a good definition of it that covers everything. We're stuck with the same kind of vague definitions as "what is love?" or "what is obscenity?"

The real answer is 'gender' is an entirely social construct that varies depending on culture, time period, sub-culture, and countless other factors and has always been a very vague concept that is shaped by social roles and statuses more than what you actually have between your legs. The better answer is Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Gender is a gently caress kill em all 1989

Some excellent reading on the subject relevant passage posted:Below we will review some influential gender nominalist and gender realist positions. Before doing so, it is worth noting that not everyone is convinced that attempts to articulate an inclusive category of women can succeed or that worries about what it is to be a woman are in need of being resolved. Mikkola (2016) argues that feminist politics need not rely on overcoming (what she calls) the ‘gender controversy’: that feminists must settle the meaning of gender concepts and articulate a way to ground women’s social kind membership. As she sees it, disputes about ‘what it is to be a woman’ have become theoretically bankrupt and intractable, which has generated an analytical impasse that looks unsurpassable. Instead, Mikkola argues for giving up the quest, which in any case (she argues) poses no serious political obstacles. The gender critical position holds the opposite view. That the categories of woman/man must be perfectly defined before feminist action can be taken. They argue that dominant transgender conceptions of sex/gender make it impossible to discuss and address the material oppressions cis women experience. Ironically, they've sidelined discussions and activism relating to these oppressions all by themselves and created a useless feminism fixated on terminology battles and snarking off at trans people.

yeah I used to be in the "fortnite has reasonable monetization! look, it doesn't even have lootboxes!" crowd but the sheen wore off eventually and that video is a good explanation of alllllllll the manipulative, skeevy poo poo that's in there the marshmallow concert specifically calling out for you to perform your favorite emote was particularly insidious lmao
