What went wrong? Left-wing narratives - 1) let’s tolerate and trust the Muslim faith 2) we all have bias and there is institutional racism 3) condemn/cancel those that don’t follow the narrative 4) progressively weaken the justice system 5) pretend we know about ‘communities’ 6) ignore the underclass

Unherd sounds like something we need here in my beloved country.

We have a very patriarchal society in my beautiful South Africa.

Violence and derision and disrespect for women is huggge here, very sadly but truly.

Kindest regards

Respect for your wonderful and precious mission

"Worthless"? That's what these men and their religion are.

And no matter what machistas and trans ideologists do, everyone will always put pressure on women and extort loyalty. This is so disgusting.

I understand very well how difficult it is to be a feminist, even in so-called "Western" society. And it's even more difficult to be a feminist-lesbian. During my several years of immersion in feminism and sincere concern for the rights and safety of women, including because it concerns myself, I have learned a lot about women...

Even taking into account the fact that I have been a lesbian since childhood, who had several relationships, including long-term ones, including sad ones (everyone has this experience) with women.... Even taking into account the fact that I, of course, grew up, studied, worked and live in a predominantly heteronormative society, it seemed to me that I knew a lot about women, and besides, I am a woman myself. But...

But it was the practice of feminism that opened my eyes to how, to one degree or another, ALL societies are still patriarchal, phallocentric and full of gender-based violence and harassment from men. But the sad thing is that many women allow this, approve of it, and are themselves misogynists.

Women supporting machismo or/and trans ideology is also a manifestation of misogyny, not progressiveness. What the hell is progressiveness! Confirm the illusions and colonization of men and girls who hate their biology?

I used to want to idealize women because not only was I a woman, but I was also a lesbian. For me, my identity, my love were beautiful and so were women. But gradually the illusions dissipated... A strange feeling. No, it didn't change my orientation, of course not. It simply shattered all illusions.

Men are more likely to commit violence than women. But women are also capable of violence, and unfortunately most often against other women. Centuries-old patriarchy has made women dependent and rivals.

Many women who want to receive the love of men are able to allow themselves to be humiliated. But men don’t treat themselves like that.

Therefore, men are still self-confident and consider their dick and their very presence in a woman’s life to be a panacea, although taking into account what hetero women say... + taking into account the fact that in nature there are not only heteros, the egocentrism of men is too exaggerated. And again, this is not only their own arrogance, but also the fault of the contradictions of women.

Who is the lesbian ally? Of course, not hetero males and not even gay traitors. And especially not trans women.

Only hetero and bi women feminists. But in fact, mostly only hetero. Because many bi women prefer to always be unreliable in everything or serve machismo.
