The People's Front of Judea respected Loretta's gender identity. They're better than TERFs

Swing and a miss, mate. Many people who have a problem with the name feminism are nonbinary people, who want equality but have been excluded from the movement by enbyphobic women, AKA TERFs. While there are lots of feminists who say feminism also means uplifting enbies, some enbies feel misgendered by this terminology, and reality is nonetheless more complicated. But your comment reducing every opponent of the term to male privilege is perfectly symbolic of the nonbinary exclusionism practiced by many who use the term feminism, and demonstrates exactly why some nonbinary people have a problem.
Understanding physics issues like momentum, traction, and the way a car turns is important to not crashing. Otherwise you get people making poor decisions on ice.

Yondu is right, being a parent is something you earn by raising a kid, not by porking.
Fuck compulsory allosexuality.
Actual Plays can introduce you to new styles of playing and DMing and improve your skills at the table. For example many people started running planescape campaigns due to Rolling With Difficulty. Before RWD, lots of people had no idea that D&D has spaceships and what is essentially a sci-fi setting. If you're a GM who wants to get better at running the game, then obviously my first recommendation is Matt Colville's videos, but try listening to a few different actual plays and learning from the styles of different GMs. Maybe you hate the way Matt Mercer runs the game, but you really like how Brennan Lee Mulligan does it. Maybe you didn't know it was possible to run the game in a different way than how Matt Mercer does it. If you don't have three decades of experience playing with diverse tables, then actual plays provide a substitute for that experience.

Hey, I learned this the other day from Practical Engineering!
What if the clothing is booty shorts and the big dumb word is S L U T
Yeah lol this is a funny joke but the way he draws black people isn't exactly PC these days
You mean we could have seen this meme a dozen times already?
It's a complicated issue. I'm being a bit reductive when I say every enbyphobic feminist is a terf. There's lots of people who think of themselves as trans allies, but still don't believe in genderfluidity, xenogenders, or two-spirit. They think they're allies of nonbinary people, because they simply choose not to believe in the nonbinary people they exclude and oppress. Does that make them TERFs? It's complicated.
We haven't assembled into a movement about this because it's not that big a deal, and we have more pressing problems like impending genocide. We can't waste time organising about a word. But on a personal level, the word still makes us uncomfortable. When we're told feminism is for nonbinary people, some of us feel like we're being called female. Misgendered. But if feminism isn't for nonbinary people, well that's a bigger problem.
