These people think she's not fuckable so therefore she's not a woman, and furthermore think women's sports are worthless unless they see the athletes as fuckable. That's it. It's patriarchy with a new coat of paint.

The two genders: male and fuckable

You wouldn't fuck a couch, would you?

Oh, you would? Then mind your own business.

Wasn't this was the Ancient Greek version of gender?

Ive always had this feeling, increasingly validated lately, that there's some weird push to invalidate all women that the right doesn't find fuckable.

There's all this coming after women for having T, and before the Olympics there's been a rise in this "if you think this woman is attractive (generic female athlete), you're GAY" Content.

It's really obvious when they're having a go at cisgender white women about makeup or certain clothes or haircuts or body types. You always see the same comments explaining to women that they ackshually prefer 'natural looks' or less revealing clothing or long hair or 'something to hold on to'.

It's all through a lens of 'why do you make choices about yourself that don't improve your appeal to me, someone who wants to fuck you'.

That there are women that completely reject all those notions or don't seek their opinions (women who are trans, women who aren't hetero, women who reject traditional feminine looks, women who excel in their careers or physical sports) simply doesn't compute with these people's view of what women are.

The more malicious parts of that mindset lead to that push you're talking about. We as women are still just something that needs to validate its existence. Any deviation from that is viewed as something that should never have existed at all.

There should be a campaign to purge the right from, well, everything.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

there is, it's just not going very well.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Mock them more.

There were many throughout the years but they always end in authoritarianism, censorship, corruption, surveillance, povery, hunger, death and eventual collapse.

They just hate women and more so if they aren't white women.

Reader mode easily bypasses that

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Is reader mode available on mobile?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

It is on mine?

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Really?! I have never seen a paywall there, and I usually access it using tor browser (so, coming from a variety of countries).

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm using mobile. It's a full screen for me, no way I can see to circumvent it.

The worst thing to do is to pretend there is no issue. There is an issue, it's an issue people get easily upset about. There has to be a precise way how to deal with it so there is no room for it being a political issue.
