I don't know what to do about this : there's a rumour among the kids at my daughter's middle school that the math teacher was transferred there last year after having declared his ❤️ to a female student at his previous school. My daughter is very unhappy about this and believes the rumor is true. We talked about not really being in a position to know if it is true or not... But I told her to try not to have close contact with him (the internet can explain math to her too, right?), and to pass the rumor on to as many girls as possible in case it is true. I wonder if I was wrong to tell her to pass the rumor around (even though I asked her to emphasise that it's a rumor at this time), or if there is something more I should do. We're in Japan and I have language issues, so I don't see myself talking to him or the school at this point.Any comments would be great! Even negative ones, because I am not really sure of myself.

@Oxana Maybe not! I thought about it. There's definitely a good reason to think twice.Is there something you think I should have done?

This is a lovely and enlightening thread about why Men should only dates Young Women.TL/DR: Because they're not *cum buckets* (apologies- it hurts me to type that)https://twitter.com/shadayaknight/status/1219308555431481345?s=21

@MelissaS All that thinking and writing to justify his sexual attraction to young women! Why not just admit it? It's not like society would censure him for it.

This guy's heart is breaking for "sex workers", who are also "whores", because their labour isn't seen as valid (it is, though, by the capitalist patriarchy) and they in danger of being murdered (by men, but he doesn't care about that).https://twitter.com/razorfemme/status/1210955401207930880?s=21

@blackilocks Unhappily, I agree with you. They are (almost) always up to something stupid. I think we know that viscerally, and that's why when women act like handmaidens it's so much more upsetting.In the case of Whatshisname from the above post, I suspect he augments his income through "sex work", although why he would refer to himself as a whore(as in "whorephobic") is beyond me!

You're right. That was disgusting. And now she's back at it- that is, "How it all went wrong in the first place and don't hurt my mental health because I was bullied for being too smart".Is that mean? I apologize for spreading this shit. @DrLouiseMoody

She seems a bit nutty to me (not a mental health professional, and I'm nutty on a daily basis anyway...) She's been writing this thread for 2 hours already. Her evidence of people attacking is Non existent - the worst thing is that she has screen shots imo).Why is she even involved? This started when K Stock got her angry pants on about the people laughing at JJ, and got called out by S Philmore (?). JC didn't need to martyr herself for this. She doesn't seem as mean as the others (Ditum and Becca and Bindel and Stock). I just hope she quits naming women. She'll delete it all anyway, but not before she does harm.@DrLouiseMoody

Oh- calling MacKinnon a man was too much for their movement and they had to distance themselves.They should distance themselves altogether if they don't think that huge POS is a man.@DrLouiseMoody

'Narcissist' is overused these days, like 'abusive' and so many others words, but in the context of one person (or clique) denouncing and exposing others (to potential villification by strangers who may judge them thoughtlessly) as a way to excuse her own questionable actions, I think it suits very well.Whew! Sorry all. I can't seem to express myself clearly today.I've read and applauded your ( and others') analysis of how feminism fits into left/right politics. I hadn't thought of any of that! I know that I'm on the left and I don't care who else is or isn't. Some bad actors can't change my belief system, and I'm surprised that someone could feel threatened or discredited by bumping up against someone with other beliefs; so much that she would denounce that person publicly. Without thought to that person's mental health! When Dr Stock, as one example, did the Feminst Current podcast with Natasha Chart (the subject was about the wisdom of aligning with the right to advance certain goals), I wonder if she was thinking of how much Chart and Wolf and others had sacrificed of their own mental health for women and children. Maybe she was, and didn't care because of the connection with the political right. That would be a bit narcissistic, right? Or at least ruthless. And if she didn't spend a thought, that would be too. In any case, I'm a lousy judge (and I'm a nervous breather too😉) , but someone (who is qualified) on Twitter used 'narcissist'' to describe some of these women's actions and I haven't been able to argue with that. Loaded and overused word though it is.@LangCleg @DejaVu @Karu

I don't know much about academia, try out my shame. You're probably right, as usual.I suppose we all suffer from a selfish lack of awareness at times. Didn't Julie Bindel promote some kind of video of feminists throwing talc at Miss America contestants? I need to confirm, I guess, but that seems way worse to me than the DC3 asking a politically connected male TRA some very good questions.@DejaVu @LangCleg @Karu

Right? I think the important word is "talking". Not "colluding", "attacking" or anything exciting like that.@LangCleg @DejaVu @Karu

Darning is so popular in Japan! There are books and magazines with all kinds of things darned artistically. And it's not grandma's darning either (NOTHING wrong with grandma's darning). @ninapaley

I just don't understand it. If I don't want to be flattened by a term that includes me in a negative stereotype, why would I use such a term for someone else? Didn't this get taught in childhood?Instead of pretending Karen has some valid meaning, people should just say bitch. It's more honest.@Ladyfat
