rest of the thread here
 
Some of the best drama threads on rGC have been about hatred of male children, I don't know what it is about little boys that seems to really rile up the TERFs for some reason. I think it's because its the one sub set of 'male' that they have some kind of actual power over.

Some of the autists over there let their seething hatred of maleness spill over to children, which then upsets the more moderate TERFs or the ones with male children. This in turn leads to the lesbians and the childless Radical Feminists to attack them, and they're quite aggressive and self-righteous about it.
This creates major drama with accusations of being 'traitors' to their sex for 'fraternizing with the enemy' by conceiving a child with a man (or even for having a male child), and posters quitting the sub for good over it.

See the threads about MichFest and the boys only concetrationcamp 'childcare camp' they set up, or about sex selective abortion (good if male fetus).

Geez, you have to be a real nutter to make GC delete your post for (what I can only assume is) optics. If I had children and I knew that someone like this woman was around my son, I'd pull him out of that preschool in a heartbeat. I'm hoping she was just making it up for attention.

If you are talking about the OP, OP deleted the post herself, that's why it's in blue.

Plus, all she did was send a student to the back of the line for bullying a couple other students.

@Barabbas, regarding Michfest: AFAIK, the issue was that women insisted on bringing their school-age boys that they didn't have babysitters for, because patriarchy, or wanted to raise awareness for matriarchy. And at Michfest, women could walk around topless or nude and most women didn't want these 6-10 yos staring at them, so Michfest made a boys' camp within the camp that the boys were restricted from leaving. Some boys, like Tobi Hill-Meyer, ended up coming back 8-10 years later with spears to besiege Michfest from Camp Trans.

You can't really compare Michfest to this grade-school incident, which really boiled down to an individual student sent to the back of the line for being an asshole.

It was, at best, half because he was bullying other students. The other half (or more) was because REEEE MALES. If you have weird sex-related hang ups like that, you shouldn't be working with kids, full stop.

Granted, if I was a woman I wouldn't want a bunch on kids staring at my boobs all day; that would be incredibly unsettling. However, how far down the rabbit hole are you that you just glaze over the part I emphasized like it's no big deal? Doesn't that strike you at least as a sub-optimal solution?

I see your point in that the r/gcer OP had her own biases that she has to watch while taking care of other people's children. But she didn't call out this boy for the class to have a "teachable moment" discussing him, or call his parents in over literal violence word-rape. She just sent the bully to the back of the line.

If her personal biases affected her professionalism (see above), I'd have a problem with that. But there's no indication it did.

I don't think anyone has a problem with them banning males from their lady festival, the drama arose over arguments about what age to ban the boys, or what age does the patriarchy turn them from innocents into the enemy. IIRC the age was boys under 10 y.o. were OK, then it was revised to be only boy babies in arms could be allowed in.

There were raging arguments on rGC with grown women unironically claiming that they felt physically unsafe in the presence of a single digit aged child, or that a 5 year old had absorbed sufficient amounts of rape culture that he was capable of sexually harrassing a grown woman. The lesbians on there are worse than the worst of r/ChildFree.

Also there debate was about how this would exclude poorer women who couldn't afford childcare for the weekend (obviously none of these radfem women still had dad in the picture). The response was more or less 'fuck them', for having the temerity of breeding with the enemy, or birthing more of them. This understandably drove away a few rGC regulars that were mothers or not insane. A lot of these spats were documented on datalounge and r/Drama.

I agree that her biases didn't affect her professionalism in that exact instance, but I doubt that would remain the case indefinitely. I wouldn't want my hypothetical son around a woman like this in the same way that I wouldn't want a black child around a KKK member who hasn't committed any hate crimes. I'm not saying that she would try to kill him or something serious like that, I'm just saying that there's an increased chance of her doing some unsettling shit that I wouldn't want him exposed to. Also, my comment about the sub-optimal solution was directed toward the "camp within a camp" thing that I bolded and italicized in my quote of your post. I agree with Barabbas that there's no problems with banning men from the lady festival, and I reiterate that having kids around a lot of topless women would be weird, but it takes a special kind of person to conclude that the best solution is "confine them in a camp."

I maintain that lesbians have the second highest perceived persecution to actual persecution ratio in the LBGT.
 
I think I remember this thread. It was some years back relating to women wanting to go to one of these post-Michfest female-bonding/hanging out on vacation that really has nothing for boys or men. People don't get to go on vacations all the time.

A thread doesn't peak-autistic regularly IME but when they do...

I don't know the personal politics of 95 percent of people providing services to my family nor do I consider it my biz. My biz and theirs is to keep it professional.

yeah its cyclical on all of the GC/radfem circles online. I've seen this happen a bunch of times. The sane people leave. There is regular purging of sensible people, so that the crazy ones can fuck with a new crop of recruits that aren't wise to everything yet.

other similar recurring arguments: is political lesbianism is the foundation of radical feminism or is it actually homophobic, and also if bisexuals are acceptable dates for lesbians, and then (after making it impossible to be a straight or bi woman in the community without ridicule) accusing people of faking their lesbianism. Gee, why would they?
 
The thing is, you could take all these crazy rants about "Men" or "Males" and replace it with "Black people" and it's indistinguishable from old-timey racism.

OH man, every time I see a black person, I just think of all the bad things black people do, and I'm afraid of them. The blackness gets in them young!

Would that be ok?

It's so weird that there's all the talk of "phobias" like homophobia, transphobia. Then you've got all these feminists very clearly exhibiting male-phobia. They're unreasonably terrified that they're going to be victimized by a man. The statistics don't support their thinking. And when you go into every interaction with this mindset, everything is potentially an attack.

Good job on archiving and screenshotting this; they always argue that crazies like this don't exist when they start facing external scrutiny.
