I’m more put-off by how it’s headed-up by two dudes… making fap-fiction… “for women”; right away that’s tone-deaf first impression (at best) - but if they’re more than just naive then I think we might have material for a Coffeezilla video right here.

Who would you expect to make that material?

  I mean, the first "slashfic" (smut fiction starring two popular characters) was Kirk/Spock slashfic written in the 1960s by a woman. The majority of writers on AO3 are women or enbies.

    Interesting. I probably would expect a cis female to enjoy the sender of such material to be a male, but I definitely stand to be enlightened on this.

I'm a woman. Female. Female engineer. I have a vagina and I write code. All our creators, writers and artists are women.

    Regardless of its supposed descriptive accuracy, the term is meant as a political pejorative.

    Standing up for womens rights gets you labeled a TERF now. It's not exactly a bad thing to be called these days lol. Heck, even JK Rowling gets called this and shes the furthest from transphobic.

      This is rather off topic but jk rowling is basically the definition of a woman who thinks increased rights for trans people hurts women.

        uhh, no. https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1269407862234775552?lang=en https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1269407862234775552?lang=en She is against womens rights being taken away. Trans people already have all the same rights as anyone else. Please name one right a trans person does not have that anyone else does

        ? That's not a right. There is a reason women fought decades for their own sex spaces

        Women were initially against segregated bathrooms though

        This exact same argument was used against gay marriage ("gay people can get straight married!" and interracial marriage ("anybody can marry somebody of the same race!"). If predominantly one class of person wants to do something, you can easily discriminate against them by outlawing that specific action. In contrast, articulating the "women's rights" that are being hurt by trans rights usually end up in an awkward formulation like "the right to have a place in which they won't see somebody they think is a man."
