Anthropology 201 Guidelines
Anthropology is the study of groups of people, their beliefs, practices, values, ideas, technologies, languages, economies and more.
All are welcome to post in this section, even Geico Cavemen.
A couple of caveats-- (1) racism has no place in this forum, and (2) please show a little discretion. In other words, if an attachment violates policy on the rest of TWEB, it violates policy in this forum as well, even if it depicts a highly interesting and unique aspect of some obscure culture. Keep it reasonably clean, folks.
Forum Rules: Here

If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch?

The difference for women is that the abuse is invariably misogynistic with a large amount of sexual aggression and violence. J K Rowling was subjected to similar comments when she made her comparatively recent remarks.
I often wonder how the men [and it invariably is men who seem to indulge in such behaviours] would respond were their wives, grandmothers, or mothers subjected to similar tirades.

Originally posted by J K RowlingI found my own sense of otherness, and my ambivalence about being a woman, reflected in the work of female writers and musicians who reassured me that, in spite of everything a sexist world tries to throw at the female-bodied, it’s fine not to feel pink, frilly and compliant inside your own head; it’s OK to feel confused, dark, both sexual and non-sexual, unsure of what or who you are.
I want to be very clear here: I know transition will be a solution for some gender dysphoric people, although I’m also aware through extensive research that studies have consistently shown that between 60-90% of gender dysphoric teens will grow out of their dysphoria.
she [born male] went through a long and rigorous process of evaluation, psychotherapy and staged transformation. The current explosion of trans activism is urging a removal of almost all the robust systems through which candidates for sex reassignment were once required to pass. A man who intends to have no surgery and take no hormones may now secure himself a Gender Recognition Certificate and be a woman in the sight of the law.

Making obscene comments [or worse] to a woman [and before you start protesting, this thread is specifically about abuse to women and older women] just because the anonymous writer disagrees with that woman's opinion is not, to my mind, acceptable.
