MidgetSaw   10 #674 Posted October 11, 2017 So, if we can change gender, why can't we change our race or our age?  Ask a white GF person who is 25yo to identify as a 65yo black person... then see how far we get... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

After all, what's the difference between that and gender? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #678 Posted October 12, 2017 not bad as such just strange !i just wonder why someone and a male has so much anger and effort to give in pursuit of feminism, let them get on with it?? they want equality etc:hihi:  That's really easy; it's because I care about women and because deeply ignorant, selfish and thoughtless men like you exist.

owlface   10 #680 Posted October 12, 2017 Where will this end? Gender fluid, age fluid, race fluid.... I think I feel like species fluid is a great way forward...so I am now a farmyard rooster until further notice. If anyone wants me I'll be stood on the fence waking the neighbours at 7am tomorrow morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MidgetSaw   10 #681 Posted October 12, 2017 I find it nearly incomprehensible that someone could NOT be a feminist.  I don't see how feminism can be for people who are gender fluid as, what if someone doesn't identify as female or are non-binary. Feminism is for female equality... what about the other supposed genders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
