As far as I could ever tell from conversations with her on Facebook, Beyerstein is just trying to do good work and keep her head down. Also, Marcotte is not the problem at ReWire. According to one of her victims, it was Imani Gandy who came in there and enforced this ideology.
This is a brilliant article. It seems to me that the whole movement to deny women their gender and identity has gone too far and surely it must be time for a correction. The whole piece is amazing but two lines in particular really resonated.
“Today men are the only humans allowed to “identify as” or to be referred to as “women” while women are de facto, to quote Verso Books from its now-deleted tweet from last week, “womb carriers.”
“Make no mistake, dear reader, we are living in an era of an “all-inclusive” Zeitgeist where we are both bodiless and full of compassion for others who ironically want to take language away from us to use for themselves.”
I read an article in The Telegraph (UK) where the ex-head of Stonewall said that, once the gay marriage law passed in the UK, their donations, paid work and social engagement fell off a cliff. She speculated that the move into the trans space, at least for some activists and organisations, is about keeping the gravy train going as they need a new cause to fight for.
And while we are being brutally honest: corporations offer free abortion leave and costs because it’s cheaper than paying for maternity leave.
We can only hope that the younger generation sees through this garbage and comes to its senses!
The paragraph about men being the only humans allowed to identify as women, is my favorite from the article. Many women in Western countries have forgotten or are unaware that the original American feminist movement in the 1800's was about actual women's rights, and inspired by the Iroquois, as opposed to the enlightened patrilineal/patriarchal European societies.
Most of the self-identified progressive women, that I personally know, are what I would call Hillary Clinton feminists. Their vision of feminism, is emulating the kind of overly ambitious sociopathic men who get to the top by stabbing people in the back, throwing people under the bus, and trampling whoever they need to, in order to be the top dog. To simplify, these Hillary Clinton feminists would throw women's rights, anyone's rights away, to be successful, and then virtue-signal about their personal accomplishments, like the male and female sociopaths that inspire them.
If I'm unclear, what I'm getting at, is a "primitive" non-European society inspired American women's rights by their actions, not their buzzwords, concepts, and written ideologies. I think Eurocentric feminists need to relearn the past to get back on track.

She will love that I dropped her name.

Brilliant as usual. I just can't see a way out of this for my daughter and granddaughter.
