Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

First:

Second:

Our precivilization hunter gatherer ancestors saw the role of man as protector and woman as nurturer.

[citation needed]

Here's mine: Woman the Hunter: The Physiological Evidence, peer-reviewed and published: https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aman.13915 and filled to the wazoo with citations to other papers that dismantle this 1966 myth.

Note: in view of the first item, this is not an invitation for you to respond. That would be against the rules. This is an invitation for you to update your badly outdated notions of anthropology to something that was actually done with physical evidence after 1966 (which is when this toxic protector/nurturer divide was first introduced).

Yours is a Western centric / exlusionary stance in my opinion. I encourage review of literature on Indigineous worldview, particularly Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth. Pertinent to the topic are chapter 6 (High Respect for the Sacred Feminine) and chapter 7 (Respect for Gender Role Fluidity).

Out of respect to the community I will leave it at that. But when youre ready to take on a more inclusionary / open mindset, I'd be happy to continue the discussion in a more appripriate space :)

Since you couldn't read two very simple words, I rather doubt there's very much productive conversation we could have on any topic.
