Men have gender changes because women have won battle of sexes - Fay Weldon
The Telegraph ^ | April 3, 3026 | Tom Whitehead

Women have won the battle of the sexes to such an extent that men are now having sex changes to be them, according to outspoken author Fay Weldon.

But the 84-year-old said men do more work and invent things and an all-woman society would have resulted in “lots of nice cushions” and no television.

Ms Weldon risked further outrage by claiming women who are anorexic are just “just girls who don’t want to grow up” and have periods.

The comments come after fellow author Ian McEwan last week attacked the idea of people choosing their identity “off the shelf” and that people who have penises are men.

Ms Weldon, whose books include The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and What Makes Women Happy, said women “play the victim” and now have “it better than men”.

"The only way men have of fighting back against the natural superiority of women is by becoming women themselves," she said in an interview with The Sunday Times.

In a separate topic, Ms Weldon claimed anorexia was a condition for "girls who don't want to grow up”.

“You only have periods when you reach a certain body weight. So girls realise that if they never get to that point, then they'll never have to be a woman or have children,” she said.

"To many girls, sex is disgusting. All the girls who wanted to be nuns are now anorexic."

I don’t think any of us have “won” anything for quite some time

Camille Paglia said all of this 30 years ago. I like you Fay but go back to writing the Upstairs/Downstairs novelizations (which were quite good!)

Girls will be boys,
And boys will be girls.
It's a mixed up, shook up, muckled up world
Except for Lola.

-- Ray Davies

I have no desire to exchange my pee-pee for a woo-woo because somebody has some very strange idea of how the sexual world should work.

There are many contradictions in liberals catering to transgenders:
* feminists say there are no set gender roles based on gender, while transgenders ape out the most extreme gender roles from selling their trucks to buy cars to trying to be the most dolled up female to prove they are female
* by saying that there is such a thing as a male brain and female brain, transgenders undermine the liberal argument that there is no real mental difference between men and women
* transgenders typically count as “lesbian” because they are men who say they are women but retain their sexual attraction to women - so they are typically heterosexual while demanding to be seen as women
* even transgenders agree the brain is wrong, but then demand that the solution is changing the body to match the deluded brain, not try to repair the ill mind; this is the most extreme case of liberals saying feelings trump reality
* acknowledging transgenders as a victimhood class means the man in the dress trumps women’s rights, which we even saw with Jenner getting woman of the year awards while having a penis, and Rothblatt, who gets kudos as the “highest paid female CEO” while spending most of its career as a man

I had 2 TG employees in Silicon Valley back in the early to mid nineties. In those days coming out as TG would not get you fired but you could bet money that at the next round of layoffs they would be gone. This at Sun and Apple too. Being the evil capitalist exploiter of labor that I am, I jumped at chance to hire software engineers who were worth $150K for $50K. They were grateful for the employment and I felt I was doing something good besides just saving big money.

Anyway, I came to understand that these individuals were profoundly disturbed young men but I never once saw in them any of the BS this harridan is spewing.

In case you’ve been in a coma since the ‘50s, the feminist supremacy movement has long since indoctrinated the nation’s youth into believing female good, male bad - a trend that has only accelerated in recent years.

Drill this concept into tens of millions of young boys - especially ones without fathers - and a certain percentage are bound to want to be female instead of male for one reason or another.

Sure. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Switch the channel
to the soap opera and pass the bon-bons.

Nope, I’m keepin’ my junk & my guns & my truck. No gender confusion here, no doubts. As El Rushbo put it, I admire the womens’ movement, especially when I’m walking behind it. God put a wiggle in their walk for a reason.

“In the war between the sexes, it’s so hard to avoid fraternizing with the enemy.”

um...men don’t actually have to become women.
They only have to say they are going to become a woman.

Women have won the battle of the sexes

She's right about that. Men have done nothing but capitulate since this started. Look at all of those lesbians having children with donor sperm, and fathers won't even defend their own sons against a school system that allows girls to hit them or kick them in the nuts for no reason.

And we all know why. Billions a year spent on prostitution in the US alone and next to nothing spent in support of MRAs pretty much shows where men's priorities are.
