An adult female horse is a mare. An adult male horse is a stallion. If you castrate a stallion he becomes a gelding. Gelding or stallion, he will never be a mare no matter what his personality is or what is done to him. Likewise, a mare will never be a gelding or stallion.

An adult female human is a woman. An adult male human is a man. If you castrate a man he becomes a castrated man. Castrated man or man, he will never be a woman no matter what his personality is or what is done to him. Likewise, a woman will never be a man and certainly not a castrated man.

If the first paragraph makes sense to you and isn't offensive but the second one is, then congratulations! You have cognitive dissonance and have been groomed by a cult mentality.

what does any of that even say or mean

In a world where everything is so soaked in sexism, belonging anywhere at all in any sense is so unappealing as a woman who generally doesn't hold the same ideas about sex and gender as ~95% of the population

r/TwoXChromosomes: Why do so many men seem to hate their gfs?

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.

Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

WHAT?!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

girl dinner (big fucking plate of carbs and protein) girl math (complex analysis) girl career (trades and engineering and politics and compsci) girl sports (dirtbikes and football and weightlifting) girl instruments (drums and bass guitar and electric) girl personality (loud and opinionated and annoying and brash)

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny

I know you’re not looking for an answer but the reason chess sometimes still allows women’s only tournaments has nothing to do with women not being as good at chess, but because chess is such a predominantly boys club where men vastly outnumber women in competitions, and many male chess players are still quite dismissive of women players.

So women made their own chess teams where they could compete together but also didn’t have to worry about sexism from other male coaches and male players.

In fact, we find that gender bias inhibits women chess players; when women are told they are playing against men in online games, for example, they consistently play les aggressively, because we all still live in a sexist society and yes that even affects how we play chess. When women think they’re playing against other women they revert back to aggressive play. (And let’s not ignore the historic dismissal of female chess players by male chess players. Bobby Fischer’s “women are not so smart” quote for example)

So yes. We still allow women to have separate chess competitions, because at it turns out sometimes “equal opportunity” doesn’t actually lead to equality, even in a game like chess.

A vast majority of all chess tournaments are still open to all, coed.

In 2022, Ilya Smirin, a male chess champion, remarked during a live broadcast of the FIDE woman’s tournament that chess wasn’t for women. He also said that a woman player “played like a man” and that’s why she was doing so well.

So this isn’t exactly a decades-old problem. This is here and now sexism.

girl math this. girl math that. put some RESPECT on their names

Emmy Noether is my favourite genius. She figured shit out for Einstein that he and his buddy couldn't ❤️

why did it have to be gender that became the new rebellious thing. it’s always been cool to be gender non-conforming. it’s always been a big fuck you to the establishment. but it has been warped into like this meaningless performance. men painting their nails and insisting that somehow makes them non-male. women going out in corsets & fishnets with a he/him pronoun pin on. and yet not many people actually addressing gendered issues aka literal misogyny. like I never really see any of those people talking about what’s happening to women in afghanistan. where are the conversations about fgm and child brides and pimped women and abusive marriages and there not being enough female representation in legislation. people just post a blue & pink flag on their instagram story and that’s their bad ass activism for the day. like please. there’s not even any talk about gay rights anymore! the people who talk the most about being gay aren’t even gay. it’s a fun and cute little performance for them. a little hehe haha look at me being naughty in the eyes of polite society or whatever. like give me a fucking break.

imagine if any other minority group had this problem where like 50% of them considered themselves “former nazis”

The way they just willingly admit these things 😶

Awesome!!! I never ever ever want to share a bathroom or locker room with these fucking maniacs! (But I think that makes me a Nazi, unlike these very progressive men)

As a third world feminist I can't even begin with the importance of not getting married. There are women being forced to marry, if you are more privileged you can choose the unmarried life and weaken marriage as an institution. I know it can be hard to but as a feminist political action it is greatly undermined. Go find women like yourself and make a community. Show a middle finger to the patriarchal society.

This is so important. My parents have already started to try to get me married and I'm only 22. The only thing standing in the way is my being financially independent. It's so important to reject marriage as an institution. We're made for more than being men's servants, mothers and caretakers. We're full human beings on our own right and we deserve our own lives.

no offense I haven’t heard a girl talk at length about pumpkin spice anything in years and I can’t remember the last time I went six hours without hearing a grown man making fun of how obsessed girls are with pumpkin spice lattes

Grown men are obsessed with making fun of girls so they don’t have to think of their own numerous and pathetic flaws.

i'm not a shoplifter but i believe in their beliefs

Some of you straight up hate masculine women and gnc women and I wish you'd just say that with your full chest instead of pretending women are oppressed for being feminine when in reality feminine behavior is expected and women are policed by men and each other if they don't present femininely enough. Femininity is looked down upon esp in men but that's bc it's associated and tied to women. Not bc women are oppressed for being feminine

the phrases "kill myself" "kill yourself" "let's kill ourselves" are sacred because brands cannot use them. holy in the literal sense

Finally I can have that wet pants look without actually peeing myself!

funny how the "everyone in power is a pedophile" conspiracy theorists don't support the most obvious solution, replacing all men in power with women

Please tell me your joking. Women can be pedophiles too, as someone had was abused by one it's deeply worried to see people act like women can be just as evil.

there are thousands of extremely evil women but they are a minority of women. an all female group would consider sexual abuse absolutely unacceptable and put all those women in prison. sexually abusive men are far more common so they protect each other

We literally had a woman in power in Germany for 16 years which drove the country faster to shit then any man ever could have but nice bait

Really? Germany has never had a worse male leader? Really? Really? You're going to say that about Germany?
