Dr. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University -- the very exclusive alma mater of "Heaven Is For Real" author Todd Burpo, is ready to start class! He is teaching How To Be A Feminist 101. This class is much different from any other class on feminism you might encounter at one of your secular schools.
That's interesting because understanding irony requires abstract thinking and social skills. The religious radical is all about concrete black and white thinking. It's no wonder they don't get irony.
Love this line: "... if you want to be enabled rather than confronted, there are many universities across the land (in Missouri and elsewhere) that will give you exactly what you want..." WTF he got against Missouri singling them out for some shade like that? Missouri that enabler of arrogant hateful sinners who don't feel guilt. Who knew?
No, of course not. To him, trans men are aspirational - they're trying to trade up.
What makes trans women wrong in his eyes is that they are heading in the wrong direction - they must be weird if they want to trade down, from the greater to the lesser being.
Wow, I have seen some interesting feints to deflect transphobia accusations, but declaring yourself, a straight cis gendered man the real feminist takes some guts.
This^^^^, I always feel like they should be embarrassed waving something so personal in my face. And when they ask you if you believe... They don't care what you believe, it is a ploy to beat you over the head with their brand of Christianity.
My feelings precisely. I have an old college friend who used to call me at Xmas, and the first thing she asked every year was "How is your walk with Jesus?" I told her that a person's relationship with god is a very intimate one, just as or even more intimate than their relationship with their spouse, and I asked her how she would feel if every time she called me, I asked her about her sex life. She stopped calling me.
From a generational perspective, you are right. My nephew and nieces haven't called me in 15 years, and since I don't do texting, that means we haven't communicated in 15 years other than an occasional 1-line e-mail from them, sent from their iPhone, when I email them a very direct question that requires an immediate answer, such as "Haven't heard from you in 2 years, are you still alive???". But my generation still uses answering machines and voicemail, and at the end of every conversation with my aunts and uncles, we say "I Love You."
LOL so another VERY SMRT Christionist came up with a terriffic witty zinger to destroy the librulz and is now trying to build a career out of it...
“Why are we being silent in the face of a culture that is degrading and insulting a female by saying that she’s not a biological fact, but she’s nothing but a fantasy and a fabrication of a dysphoric male who wants to raise his hand on a given day and say he’s a woman?"
Well sorry, but he's going to have to shorten that before it'll fit on a bumper sticker. He's going to have to try a LOT harder if he thinks he is going to beat "It's Adam and EVE, not Adam and STEVE™"...

That's a good answer. I will try that on them.
I understand your meaning. Willful ignorance.
"(I guess he doesn’t know about trans men?)"
No, of course not. To him, trans men are aspirational - they're trying to trade up.

That must be all his feminism talkin'.
Or sarcasm, or humor in general.
I knew I couldn't trust the Papists! Also, the Jews, because everyone knows that.

And be chinless wonders?

Yes, a trophy upside the head, with votes.
