    Which views of hers do you consider to be extreme?

    Phyllis Schlafly is an odd comparison to make. She argued that women should stay in traditional roles and out of public life (while as you mention, not following her own advice), w…

    > but that definitely seems to accurately describe the arc Rowling has taken over the last 7-8 years. What a bizarre time we are living in when "men aren't women" and "women should…

    That's not what bio-essentialist means. Khelif is male, and that was already known when JKR made her remarks, which were accurate. It is certainly not anti-feminist to be opposed t…

    I was rate-limited so didn't reply. And when I went back to that thread the next day and remembered you were pretending not to know what the male sex is or human sex development wo…

    Second-wave feminism explicitly challenged and rejected biological essentialism, which is the misogynistic belief that women are biologically suited to roles like housework, taking…

    Point is that second-wave feminism, and radical feminism in particular, centred on recognising sex as the basis of women's oppression under patriarchy. This led to advocacy for wom…

    Second-wave feminists like Germaine Greer, Janice Raymond and Sheila Jeffreys?

    All that link shows is you have a long-running habit of disparaging outspoken feminists.

    Not coherent how? I addressed your claim about three different definitions and provided context as to why Banda being withdrawn in anticipation of failing sex verification falls in…

    Having testes leads to male-typical levels of testosterone which, barring androgen insensitivity, leads to male puberty. These are three integrated steps in the male developmental …

    No this is about barring males with the physical advantage of male development from competing in the female category. JKR was commenting on the BBC giving their Women's Footballer …

    Barbra Banda failed a sex verification check issued by Zambia's Football Association, who then preemptively withdrew Banda and others from competing in WAFCON on this basis. One wo…

    JKR isn't advocating for anyone's human rights to be taken away, and she's never said anything of the sort. Her core point is that women and girls need single-sex spaces, services …

    JKR has never advocated violence, never denied anyone's humanity, and never called for any group to be eradicated. Hitler did all of those things on an industrial scale. What on ea…
