Activism Nanny This term highlights the phenomenon whereby women are expected to do everything for groups of either oppressed men and oppressed mixed groups which include men, but none of the other groups in question are beholden to do the same for women as a group. This is because women are expected to take care of everything, to mother every group that includes or benefits men, and to be, for lack of a better term, "activism nannies"
Affirmation Juice, Holy: (See "Holy Affirmation Juice")
Bro-Job: Taken from Ovarit.com. This refers to the emotional and sexual labor men can supposedly perform for each other since, according to them, their male friendships are much more fulfilling, "drama-free" and supposedly better than female friendships (which both they and pickmes often deride). Or it can mean something else. You decide.
Brosexual: (See "Homiesexual")
Correctyle Dysfunction: Similar to mainsplaining, this is where a man has a habit or need to assume the woman speaking is incorrect and then give the "correct" version of what she said. Sometimes they man merely summarizes what the woman has said and pretends this is new or different information. Or he may try to fault-find over minute details. Another manifestation of correctyle dysfunction occurs when a man demands a woman pass an impromptu verbal test to prove she is a "true" fan of a band, TV show or game.
Contraption: Trans-identified male YouTube influencer, known more commonly as "Contrapoints."
Eggplant Witness: A moniker for the gym chain, "Planet Fitness," which, in March 2024, chastised and banned a woman for calling attention to a man in her locker room.
Holy Affirmation Juice: Liquid testosterone that trans-identified females, or transmen, take to achieve opposite-sex characteristics such as deeper voices and male-pattern facial hair, skin, and muscular strength.
Homiesexual (also referred to as "Brosexual"): A man who is heterosexual but homoromantic. While he is physically attracted to women, he has little to no emotional attraction towards women. He doesn't enjoy spending time with women apart from sex, and enjoys close, homoromantic friendships with his male companions.
Man, Men: Balled Body Bodies with prostates Ejaculators Penis People Sperm Human Spermoid/s Vaginaless Body Vagino
Interpretive Labour:
This is a term, possibly coined by David Graeber, that accounts for the following dynamic and phenomenon between oppressor and oppressed: "The unique qualities of violence as a form of action means that human relations ultimately founded on violence create lopsided structures of the imagination, where the responsibility to do the interpretive labor required to allow the powerful to operate oblivious to much of what is going on around them, falls on the powerless, who thus tend to empathize with the powerful far more than the powerful do with them." The term is useful for feminists but extends to use between all oppressor/oppressed interactions.
Maximum Unhappiness Tolerance: The Maximum Unhappiness Tolerance refers to the maximum amount of unhappiness a woman will put up with from a male partner before she leaves him. Men may have an uncanny ability to seek and find this threshold because it lets them do as little as possible, and reap as much much benefit as possible, from their gf/wife while still maintaining the benefits of her presence in his life (emotional, childcare, domestic labor, etc...). In these cases, rectifying her unhappiness is most often unimportant to him. What he cares about is not crossing "the line" that would cause her to leave and him to lose the unreciprocated benefits he receives.
Motherfaker: A transwoman who demands to be referred to as a mother. He may demand his children refer to him as such; if the child is too young to affirm him, he will demand the that people and institutions in his community him refer to him as a mother and give him access to programs and spaces reserved for mothers. In extreme cases, he may try to pass off the child/ren's actual mother as a nanny.
Polyp: A polyp is a projecting growth of tissue from a surface in the body, usually a mucous membrane. But it can also be used to refer to an identify of being polyamorous and pansexual.
Pornsexual: Person (usually but not always male) whose sexual orientation may ostensibly be heterosexual, gay or bisexual, but who is ultimately attracted to porn and the porn aesthetic.
Radpilled: An alternative way of saying a woman is a radical feminist.
@KeepTakingTheSoma ‘yes, this is an inclusive facility, what are you afraid will happen?’
What a fucking turd. Ok, so the thing is, WOMEN are unfortunately the major proponents of this ideology and bullshit. But when you see a man like this say something like that... I just think that even a handmaiden would be more likely to be like, wtf (even if she hid it behind a mask of neutrality or even moral superiority). I mean who really knows. Maybe they'd really be like, "what are you afraid will happen?" God knows the women I tell about the shit that's happening always have an excuse and deflection. But I think they'd be more likely to have a different reaction when FACED with it. And by now everyone at the facility's seen this shitstain.
“He said something like: ‘yes, this is an inclusive facility, what are you afraid will happen?’
Reduxx has since learned that the man is a regular at the pool, and is almost always seen wearing a rubber breast form beneath a black bikini.
The source who provided us the photos says that she had visited the pool just days after Keri reports having her February 18 encounter, and saw the man using the women-only sauna.
@LostInCalifornia@taylan I dislike that plant milks, excluding, perhaps, coconut milks, are referred to as "milk." It's dishonest. It's deliberately dishonest.
It's like if I go to the hospital for a blood transfusion, they can't pump my body full of strawberry juice and call it "plant-based blood." People admit that. But they want to call an oat-based beverage "oat milk" as if it replaces actual milk. Why don't they just put soda or urine diesel oil in cereal? They're all just alternative milks, right?
@KeepTakingTheSoma@meghanemurphy And I think it's important to do that while avoiding purity spirals. I find the Buddhist approach serves here, a so-called "middle path." Just my 2cents.
@KeepTakingTheSoma@meghanemurphy I truly hate thay you have a point. Many self-described feminists advocate for this. But not all feminists. And the ones fighting back and being attacked by agp men, their feminist contemporaries, and the rw which doesn't respect women anyhow, have been feminists. Radical feminists.
Was there ever any solidarity and camraderie between some gay/trans-identifed men and lesbians/"fag-hags" in the era etc...
I've seen snippets of "Paris is Burning" and am now lookin to "Pose," a contemporary show set in 80s ball culture. At least in Paris is Burnimg, some of the men pass exceptionally well, which is even more admirable when considering the many surgery options weren't available at the time, or at least bot ubiquitous.
I guess I understand that sex matters, etc... and I know gay men can be incredibly misogynistic, and i even know that the FBI said ay some point half of them were NPD (a cluster B) regardless of sexual orientation, but I just can't help having difficulty reconciling my hard-line stances with, i don't know, the desire for so.e way people could just all get along and it was okay to be fabulous.
I get why men can't be in women's spaces, and I get that they don't really care about us the way we care about them (it'd not reciprocal) but I still feel for them. Anyhow, anyone with info on problems in the culture of the 80s, or women's participation, or whatever... I'm listening.
Two thirds of forces also allow biological male trans officers and civilian staff to use women's showers, toilets and changing rooms, according to a Freedom of Information request by the Daily Mail.
