Me and my wife both spent our formative years moving around a lot, and we’ve both lived in different countries too.

Home isn’t a meaningful concept for us outside of where each other are at this particular moment.

Thank you for introducing me (an old crumbly RATM enjoyer) to this :-)

Fair enough!

Prey, the sequel to Predator. Prey is a really good feminist and anti-colonial film, well worth watching if you haven’t seen it :-)

It’s a sequel to a movie whose lasting legacy is a meme of a macho handshake.

Well done, you got it! How about a harder one? (Hint: much more recent)

Nobody listens to a woman and then everyone dies, apart from the woman. And her dog.

After I replied it occurred to me that the timeline wasn’t right for that, lol

As someone who has never seen Casablanca, it was nice to get one, lol

Nobody listens to a woman and then everyone dies, apart from the woman. And her cat.

Lord of the Rings?

Star Wars?

Thelma and Louise … that wasn’t very badly explained!

Any place where we (assuming adult women) talk amongst ourselves is a support group sometimes

That comes with the logistical challenges of …

a) how do you find out which ones will fit in?

b) who defines what “fitting in” means?

c) would the men who are feminist and “fit in” not feel weirded out by being allowed into somewhere that’s meant to be for women to talk amongst themselves? I mean, I would feel like I was invading something private if I were invited into a support group for men.

You’ve very thoroughly explained exactly what I was thinking of! Thank you :-)

I’ve seen their interactions on other instances, there was a generous amount of had faith arguments, dogpiling, sealioning … really a full set of behaviour that would put any anti-authoritarian lefty like me off, lol

Yup, agreed on all fronts :-)

Hi there, I also have nothing to do with makeup or following beauty standard or fashion … however I have friends who do, and sometimes they like to talk about it. So … I just zone out and let them get on with it, it’s not hurting me.

Men dominate 99.9999% of online spaces, and even the most supportive of ally men will sometimes talk over women or assume their opinion is more important, so I think that maintaining this as a space just for women is a good thing.

IIRC Lemmygrad is the third of the “tankie triad” that you may have been thinking of, along with Hexbear and Lemmy.ml

And Lethal Weapon

This is something I’ve always found a bit perplexing - US female combat troops often have long hair, which they keep up and tight while working.

Both me and my other half often do physical work (I’m a volunteer firefighter, she does arbourist work on the side) and neither of us can stand having long hair … if I were doing military work, I can’t imagine how needlessly uncomfortable that long hair is!

Same goes for women MMA fighters.

In other news, my other half looks like Sinead O’Connor when she shaves her hair, while I look more like a Gulag escapee for some reason … so I have to live with a pixie cut or longer.
