@DoctorDee Ugh I feel this on a spiritual level. I’m in herpetology, which is extremely male-dominated, and if I had £1 for every time some dude who kept a lizard once tried to tell me about my own subject…You should start responding with “I can get you a copy of my thesis if you want to know more about it”!!

@Ilongedformuskrats Omg 🤣 I laugh but this is the “boys who pull your hair LIKE you” of adults.

@QuinnLeigh I voted no. Only because I think it would be an extremely difficult fight that alienates many of the women currently on our side, whilst there may be scope to move forward on other issues right now using those numbers.

@MaidenMotherCrone @ArtistBristol Yes, and I haven’t seen many people mention that the creators spent 6 months auditioning more than 650 girls for the film. I find it extremely concerning that it got made at all and that there are potentially >600 audition tapes of children twerking owned by somebody without repercussion.

Along with claiming to be trans or intersex or millions of other things, has anybody else noticed the prevalence of people claiming to have “misophonia”? From my research it seems this isn’t a diagnosable condition at all, though it is recognised as a thing reported by many people. Medicalising irritation and short tempers seems kind of hilarious to me.

@Wildebeest I don’t know if the diagnosis is accepted anywhere else but it’s not a thing in the UK at least. That’s not to say I don’t believe it affects some people (like your friend) in a similar way to how autistics often have to avoid entire situations for fear of being pushed to meltdown. I’ve heard about self-described misophones even skipping meals due to disgust and fear of others’ chewing sounds, which is something I’ve very occasionally had to do as an autistic person, so I do feel for her. Sadly 99% of the people I’ve met who claimed it were just attention-seeking.

Is anyone here autistic or close with someone who is?I’m torn over whether to declare ASC on my application form or wait until I have job offers. There’s the benefit of ‘Guaranteed Interview Schemes’ if I do, but then I won’t know if I’m just getting a sympathy interview or genuinely wanted for the role…

Also hello, I haven’t been on spinster in a while ‘cause I’m busy finishing my master’s degree, but I hope you ladies are all well. P.S. I love Keira Bell! 💖

The speed with which Wikipedia, IMDB etc. have changed Eddie Izzard’s bios to read “actress” and “comedienne” is truly something else.

I love talking to internet leftists. You know, for a laugh. Last week when I asked what kind of labour this person would contribute in a hypothetical commune situation, he said “graphic design”.Cracking. I was thinking we might need someone to clean the loos or cook food. How did logos and branding skip my mind?!

Disclaimer: I personally intend to join or start a small commune one day. I just think it’s funny how detached some people are from what they claim to care about.

Another day being told I'm not female and compared to males by trans rights extremists (you know, that thing they always say "terfs" do). I honestly miss when people just hadn't heard of intersex people at all.

"Look how certain you are that you are a woman!"Ah yes, I, born female, socialised female, experiencing misogyny every day of my life, simply *identify* as a woman! Because my health condition would otherwise preclude me from the magical privilege of it all. Of COURSE.

@sub_aetha Is he claiming to be a woman, or?I don't see anything wrong with how he's dressed. My problems would arise if he claimed it made him a woman.

In a way, I would love to be Judith Butler. Imagine being such a boring, privileged academic - detached enough from the real world that people eat up your interviews even if you just say the same irrelevant platitudes you were trotting out 30 years prior. Bliss. I'd be "enjoying the world of they", too.

The organiser of a major UK festival is currently being mobbed for making a pronoun joke. Despite deleting the tweet and apologising twice, people are only getting angrier. The baying mob always wants blood.(Vicky Hungerford - She's 100% NOT a feminist and has said other stuff I disagree with, but no woman deserves this amount of harassment for a simple difference of opinion)

I hadn't realised how filled to the brim the rock/metal community is with TRAs. 😳Seems extra silly to hold a woman to this kind of specific account when the men (it is mostly men) we're listening to in metal bands probably aren't woke either. If you're gonna cancel Vicky you should be questioning everyone. But I don't see that happening... 😔

Today a 34 year old man told me that as a radical feminist I was one of the "daughters of confederacy and hatred". Can't decide if it's funnier that I'm being called a confederate in the UK or that he thinks my views have ever been popular with conservative men of generations past.
