Funny how the radical feminists are upset now, but they sure didn't care about this rampant "include every little minority" trend when it started to happen for other issues in the 2000s and conservatives raised concerns about it.

Remember the old changing "Christmas" to "Holiday" thing, where the argument from leftists was that it included minorities and other religions, even if 99.9% of what was being discussed was about Christmas? The radfems and their supporters sure weren't going around saying "THEY ARE ERASING CHRISTMAS" back then, were they? Now they get a taste of the same mentality coming after them.

"IT'S NOT PREGNANT PEOPLE IT'S PREGNANT WOMEN" is the exact same thing as "IT'S NOT HOLIDAY IT'S CHRISTMAS".

I guarantee you not a single woman who still considers herself a "radical feminist" has the self awareness or humility to admit being wrong on this issue

The REEEEEEEply will inevitably be "BUT THATS DIFFERENT!"

For these types of people, if they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have standards at all

Remember in Brave New World when the words mother and pregnant were considered profanity?

One question - is the Sky News in the UK related in any way to the Sky News in the AU?

They're so fucking opposite of each other it's amazing. Sky News UK is just BBC Lite. Sky News AU being how based they are is so... out of place considering how most of the traditional right wing in the AU is to the LEFT of the UK and US right wing.

Friendly reminder the enemy of your enemy is still an enemy. These TERFs may agree with us but for vastly different reasons but they will be just as likely to backstab us the moment we start arguing with them about shit like muhsoggyknees and objectification and all the usual feminist crap.
