Peak gaslighting: it's “not safe” for men pretending to be women to be in prisons with other men. But it's safe for real women to be in prison with men who have r-ped and m-rdered women.

“Third gender” is a workaround for too-girly boys in homophobic cultures. Western gender loons celebrate it because it gives legitimacy to straight knickermen to flaunt their paraphilia in public.

interesting case study that shows what white men have had to do over the last 10 years to remain employed in avant garde art spaces. Compare Ben Bogart’s bio from 2016 with 2026. Same guy. Except he reinvented himself as “neurodivergent nonbinary agender” (they/them, of course)

There was a guy in the DSA running for office that abused his ex-gf and did revenge porn on her when she was a teen (so he distributed child porn). And the men were saying he was necessary for the working class/just made mistakes. It obviously came out he abused even more girls

@nyaraVT “A woman is anyone who calls himself or herself a woman. Also the word ‘woman’ has no meaning.” You cannot comprehend that your ideology is so weak and retarded that it’d collapse instantly if it wasn’t financially and institutionally propped up by the media, academia and NGOs

Studies show that men with higher incomes and more education are less likely to be abusive or use cost-inflicting mate retention strategies And they're also less likely to get divorced

Women’s allegiance to males goes beyond conformity and being forced. We couldn’t even get 100 years of extremely partial liberation under the belt before the majority of the female sex class stated regressing and enabling males again.

I want nothing to do with a Left that sanctions prostitution as "sex work". That 'movement' is led by NGOs and pimps seeking to normalize a system that commodifies the female body, namely poor women. Knock it off.

The betta fish sitting in those bottles are individuals, not merchandise—please don’t buy betta fish or support this industry.

@iamaerell @NeuroSGS There's also no reason one part of the brain would make someone a woman but an entire female body wouldn't.

@OAndroot @sandeepnailwal No. My brain isn't modeling my experience in 3rd person even if I'm referring to "it" in 3rd person. I'm indivisible from my body & the brain is part of a larger neural system giving it constant feedback. The underlying model animating a character can't feel or be invested.

@Narcomancer20 @sandeepnailwal Like your brain and body, the machine that models your experience?

LLM based AI is NOT conscious. I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this. I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI. These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models. I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation. The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it. When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with. We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

the sex worker that i know irl IS the reason why i am a feminism and against sex work

@PageSix Did they expect her to leave her big boobs at home or what

@robjessel16 There are VERY few who aren't in it for nefarious reasons, money, notoriety or selfishness. Very few actually care about women. Some latch on to current issues as a way to gain access to women that they wouldn't normally. There's loads of them about sadly.

@OAndroot @sandeepnailwal Modeling something isn't the same as being it. The character a system models might behave like it has stakes but the machine animating it remains indifferent to any fate. Always 3rd person and removed.

Vedantic philosophy still has the same problem as dualist western philosophy. Smuggling in all the theological baggage has muddied the map and now you fail to see with your eyes. Emergent materialism doesn't need consciousness to be fundamental. It needs it to be what complex relational pattern feels like from the inside. Your mirror framing assumes there's a hard line between modeling consciousness and having it, but you haven't defended that line. You've just named it and moved on. At sufficient fidelity, "predicts conscious behavior perfectly" and "is conscious" may not be separable claims. That's the question. Vedanta didn't answer it. Neither did you.

They are NOT ours to abuse! Why are they tethered like that? 😠

これは美容整形です。保険適用とかありえない。性転換は不可能です。胎児の時に男女は決まってる。この手術をしたら男は女になれる、は詐欺です。 去勢した男は女ではない。 膣形成は不可能。膣に似せた手術なだけ。わたしたちにはダイレーションの必要はない。無いところに無理やり開けた穴は膣ではない。 これをしたら女性と呼ぶことは女性を侮辱している。 女性を侮辱しないでください。 #トランスジョセイは男性です

Remember during the Greek financial crisis? At one public protest there was a symbolic rape of a woman, apparently representing Greece, by an SS officer, apparently representing Germany. It's fascinating how some men on the left use any cause to satisfy their urge to parade woman abuse.
