Mang0 supporting Smash Sisters isn't supporting women, it's him supporting something that was meant to be for women. Smash Sisters was originally created to give women a space to play, compete, and meet others in a scene that’s mostly male. It was made for REAL women to join big...

This is what Smash Sisters looked like in 2017. The recent attention that Smash Sisters has gotten, has made me realize that I had almost entirely forgotten that this group even exists. Smash Sisters events used to be scheduled into the streaming blocks of major tournaments. They had crew battles on the big stage streamed live in front of thousands of people. You could literally see top melee players in the crowd supporting these events, as evidenced in this video. So... why is it that we now only hear faint whispers of these events through locked down social media posts like this one? What happened? Simply - The group of people that Smash Sisters was created in order to platform and protect no longer exists within the melee community, at least not to a meaningful degree, and they have been replaced by an entirely different group of people. To deny that is to deny reality. This is not a hateful message. This is not a bigoted message. It is a truthful and well-meaning one. As stated in this video by the founders of Smash Sisters, the group was created in order to grow the melee scene by providing an incentive for women to sign up for smash events. That incentive being community. Comradery. By lowering the barrier of entry, it allows an opportunity for growth - particularly for those women who had an interest in smash, but lacked a support system, or for women who had qualms about signing up for a tournament, going 0-2, and then sitting around for three days by themselves. It was an inherently inclusive endeavor, and a net positive on the community. Now, Smash Sisters is completely unrecognizable. It is a pale imitation of what it once was, and was meant to be. Their events are, almost entirely, transgender exclusive - run by and competed in by individuals who regularly and openly advocate for violence, attempt to silence any and all criticism of the group in its current iteration, and call for the removal of individuals from the melee community who do not agree with their personal beliefs and ideologies. It is, now, inherently exclusionary and polarizing, and conceivably off-putting to those very same women for whom Smash Sisters was created in the first place.

Anna Cody, Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner, intervened in a federal court case against women only spaces, the accurate definition of woman & biological sex, instead in favor of men who claim to be women. All while school aged girls are not drinking water at school to avoid having to use bathrooms with boys in them, while women are being charged with vilification for accurately calling men men, while women are being injured on sports fields by men who claim to be women, while lesbians are denied their own events, while women have their lives turned upside down & have to raise almost $2million to fight for women only spaces in court, she has sided specifically with men who claim to be women. She has attended “trans rights” speaking events but never “women’s rights” events. I know she has heard the voices of women who rely on women only spaces because we submitted affidavits from these women in the Tickle v Giggle court case. Women who have been abused, women who are in recovery, women whose faith relies on sex segregation, women with trauma, women whose day to day needs require woman only spaces, lesbian women denied lesbian only events. She has ignored it all in favor of men who claim to be women. In the Giggle v Tickle appeal, it’s Giggle saying that the law can serve everyone. Have your trans only spaces, have gay only spaces, have male only spaces, have women + men who claim to be women spaces if you want, just also have female only spaces. The sex discrimination commissioner is actively against this, in favor of whatever men who claim to be women want. When you allow school girls to go without adequate single sex bathrooms, lesbians to be denied to right of single sex association, every woman who needs woman only spaces to go without, you are discriminating against women, and you’re doing it on the basis of sex. Yes, the sex discrimination commissioner is discriminating against women on the basis of sex. So for her to stand on stage and say that she not only listens to women but centers women who have experienced discrimination in her work is a demonstrable lie. I know this because I have the receipts. The sex discrimination commissioner should be forced to resign because she is not accurately doing her job. She is welcome to be a trans rights activist elsewhere but it certainly shouldn’t be in the office of the SEX discrimination commission.

Due to the Australian sex discrimination commissioners interpretation of the law women are having to: • Go to the high court to reestablish that we are still included in the legislation that was created specifically for us • Lesbians have to go to a tribunal for a second time to reestablish that heterosexual men are not lesbians • A woman is being dragged through a state tribunal for saying that men who claim to be women cannot breastfeed • Women are losing both employment & volunteer positions for asserting the *fact* that men are not women • A woman is appealing a $95,000 fine for using publicly available information to inform people that there are men in women’s sport • Women are being threatened with punishment if they don’t compete with the men in sport • School aged girls are not drinking water at school - or not attending at all for the week of their period - so they don’t have to use unisex bathrooms • Women currently & formally in prison are revealing the sexual assaults they have experienced due to men who claim to be women locked in cells with them The current *interpretation* of Australia’s sex discrimination act - accepted by the full federal court for reasons known only to them - is not creating less discrimination. In fact, it’s creating much more. Interestingly, it’s simultaneously proving that everyone knows exactly who the women & girls actually are, because we’re the ones being punished. Gender ideology has failed and is being rejected in almost every other country it attempted to thrive within. It has brought down the careers of many politicians who didn’t have the metaphorical balls to acknowledge reality and fix the problem. To think that Australian is any different is as ignorant as it is insane. This is not a “culture war”, Anthony Albanese. It’s a war on women & girls.

Do women like beards on men? Human male secondary sex characteristics evolved not to attract females, but rather to compete against other males. Consider the example of beards. Why do males develop facial hair during puberty? Evidence is mixed about whether women find beards attractive. Some women like them, others don’t, and for others, it depends. But there is clear evidence that men view other men with beards as more intimidating than clean-shaven men. Or take deep voices. Women, on average, tend to think deep voices are attractive. But in comparison, men are even more likely to find men with deep voices to be intimidating. The same basic pattern has been found for muscularity. Women find it to be attractive, up to a certain point. But men report feeling threatened by large physicality in other males. Such research suggests that intrasexual competition has given rise to male traits such as broad shoulders, large muscles, deep voices, and facial hair. Men evolved these traits not so much because women find them sexy, but more so because other men find them intimidating. As the psychologist Steve Stewart-Williams has written, secondary sex characteristics appear to be more like deers’ antlers than peacocks’ tails. The peacocks’ tail evolved to attract female peahens. But male deer evolved antlers not to impress female deer, but to compete with other males. That same logic seems to apply to the characteristics of human males.
