Are you not persuaded?
Mr Zara Paquette, our vision of loveliness, has been featured here before, when barking his commands to the actress Keira Knightley, as if she would be watching and dutifully taking notes. Like a good, obedient woman.
Update, via the comments:
Rafi asks,
Hygiene aside, I’m still processing the fact that a man who wants to violate women’s private spaces, who regards womanhood as some kind of costume, and who expects deference from women regarding what they may think and say, is now lecturing us on “patriarchy,” misogyny, and “toxic men.”
Everyone remember where we parked.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.





Is soap a tool of the patriarchy?
I’m still processing the fact that a man who wants to violate women’s private spaces, who regards womanhood as some kind of costume, and who expects deference from women regarding his delusions of womanhood and what they may think and say, is now lecturing us on “patriarchy,” misogyny, and “toxic men.”

What does he think he is?
I’d be afraid of him.
He’s not exactly a comforting presence.
Madame needs a shave. Something that actual women generally don’t need.
Why am I not surprised by the double chin?

Also… A man pretending to be a woman fighting the patriarchy in coal mining. He was born a coal miner’s daughter. That was a song by country singer Loretta Lynn.

You know, I might take “Zara” there more seriously as a transwoman if he stopped phoning it in. Made more of an effort, y’know, to look like a woman.
These men need someone like RuPaul to advise them. Once upon a time men who were drag queens went to great lengths to appear as beautiful women. Not caricatures but truly gorgeous women.
Now it’s “throw on a dress and just say you’re a woman, no need to shave.” Just a bunch of lazy ass cosplayers.
Not entirely unrelated, our betters over in Gomorrah sur Mer have 1984ed Animal Farm.

Just a reminder that in 1986, photojournalist James Stanfield took this image of a mother and daughter in West Virginia. Who knew they were that progressive back then? Or rather, was it justa case of people who were capable did the job?
To be fair, it’s just like a woman to complain about men… I’ll get me coat.
That is a common failing: I often see comments in blogs and social media in which the comment is directed not at the blogger or other commenters but at the person that the blog post is about. Sometimes this results in amusing (risible) ambiguity as to who is the target of the sharply worded comments.
Now that you mention it, I’m surprised I have not yet seen it in lists of the attributes of “whiteness”.

Oh, FFS. Sophie Molly knows it’s not transphobic, they just don’t like being called out on their shit.
Here, I’ll give them this:
“It tells the world that they think it’s a choice to be
transmentally ill, something you can switch in and out of, like playing dress up. This is not true.”FIFY
Stop hitting me with your nail.
Nightmare fuel.
His face needs a brick.
I’m sensing you’re not entirely persuaded by his argument.
A term I use loosely.
Ooh, what’s this. Late-bottled vintage port.
Score.
Strongly persuaded, but not in the direction he wished. 😀
No true
ScotsmanTrans-Woman does these things.And what’s with the eyes? The crazy, it’s always in the eyes.

Thanks for the reminder. I have several bottles of vintage port in the cellar. Must dust one off for the Holidays.
Let’s not talk to those peasants who don’t have bottles of vintage port to stroke.
I mean drink.
[ Strokes bottle, acts aloof. ]
I’m a mean girl and I’m not blaming the patriarchy.
[ Rummages in cupboard of terribly posh biscuits. ]
I’m beginning to feel the Christmas spirit.
On a base level, admittedly.
