"The text highlights that these women were rebels for taking on typically male tasks, and in doing so they adopted a form of male identity." 

 

From that article, this paragraph is the crux for me. If we stop splitting things like that up by gender then people can just get on with their lives. Rather than feel she had to take on male identity, why not just let her be a badass female. Males don't own those tasks, society just chooses to make it that way.

You need to follow the thread of questions and answers.  All I'm doing is replying to your question.  And all the moaners are doing is whinging about when life was better. 

 

But life isn't worse because life has gotten worse.  Life is worse because the complainers are getting older, what with their arthritis, dodgy backs, statins and stents, and they just don't have a clue what the young crew are banging on about now.

To be honest that’s basically saying younger people are more sensible and progressive and older people are relics ? Least older people can say  categorically what a woman and a man is ! Ask some of the dipit young crew and they can’t tell you or won’t.

Yes its really backfired.  Unsure if he has legal case as its a private contract between him and the venue. However the director of the Pleasance had absolutely no right in stating that Jerry wasnt welcome at the Festival at all. Who the hell does he think he is ?

Can a woman not watch a woman's game and say, "great a real woman's game"?  Nobody would bat an eye lid.  The world, as one Piers Morgan would say has gone nuts.

In effect they (women but also men) did during the Euros.  There were frequent comments on how much less cheating and how much better disciplined was the woman's game. So different from the men's game Souness was describing.

The phrase "it's a man's game" is widely accepted to mean "it's a physical game".

It's a simile.

 

There is absolutely nothing sexist about it.

 

Same goes for "man up" which is a simile for "be brave".

And "be a man" which is a simile for "take responsibility".

Maybe Putin arranged it when BoJo skipped his security detail and went partying at Lebedev's mansion.

 

I guess no one will ever know what was arranged. In fact no one will ever know what was done with, or to, the current prime minister in the KGB officers sons house. Even he can't remember it all...

 

I guess we'll never know what leverage Putin has over the current prime minister.

"There is no pause in Royal Air Force recruitment and no new policy with regards to meeting in-year recruitment requirements," the spokesperson said.

 

[ri Alban]

More the case, that young men don't want to fight for the these animals anymore, so they tell everyone they are not recruiting them. Who would put up their life for the British establishment. It used to over employ Scots, now Scots don't comply. You can take as many Britnats from Scotland as you please, they won't be missed.

Souness did not say football is a "man's game". He used an old football cliche to describe a game which had become "tasty" with players ( and the benches) getting physically more aggressive. (I don't think it had anything to do with "bravery" or "responsibility".  In fact I'd say he was talking about men becoming irresponsible.

One of the common features of wokism is to read into language something that is not there ... or only there in their woke  minds.

Nothing wrong with them looking to the future and not repeating the mistakes of the past, but you have to let your hair down from time to time or you become very repressed.
