How can you be a man yet be a feminist?
I’m a man… and a feminist.
"A person who supports the equality of women with men." Yup. So am I.
Feminism is a spectrum of beliefs. Look at J.K. Rowling - the F in TERF stands for Feminist. There are plenty of feminists I disagree with.
But I just don't believe Xandan's claims of activism. Murdering two people, permanently injuring another, and injuring a fourth doesn't imply much care for your fellow humans. Xandan comes off as self-centered, only out for himself.
It takes it to a whole new level when you say something like that to a trans man. It take the whole phobia of equality and imbues it with transphobia.
Yeah it’s a lot in one bag.
Texas prison system is barbaric.
~~Texas prison system~~ American incarceration industrial complex
Ftfy
We would also have accepted "Texas' system is barbaric"
So it's like a two cheeks Venn diagram of barbarism.
Yeah, but Texas is even worse. And Alabama? Whoa.
Okay maybe it's because it's late, but what is this four letter word for feminism?
“Four letter word” is a nice way of saying a curse word (think shit, fuck, etc). So by calling feminism a four letter word, the author is saying that the prison considers feminism a dirty word, basically.
Thank you! That was indeed my tired brain at work. The moment I read your response it went "Duh. Of course"
Fair
That guy has the world against him and he still stands up for a minority he isn't part of. The world needs more people like him.
Go ask the young daughter of the man he murdered or the person who’ll never see again because of him if they agree.
Oof. Didn't know he was a murderer. Fuck that guy.
Well that cop's remarks took me back a few decades
Yeah as much as I dislike the individual mentioned the news article has an overwhelming Texas flavour to it. I can almost bet the writer or officers statement to the writer lead to the “pair of lesbians” assumption.
Ight, nevermind. Fuck that guy.
A trans man would be far safer in a womens prison. He would get violently raped in a mens prison.
I read it but I am confused as to the point of the article. I mean I can guess the point but it just feels incomplete.
