9/10 banner. It should have been Girlbo$$? No, Girl Union!
So close to being a Simpsons reference.

Wikipedia’s featured article today agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luisa_Capetillo
Thank you for sharing that article. I’ve been reading a lot about Emma Goldman lately, so this is wonderful.
Sharing it is only a sliver of the credit, most of which goes to the editor Spookyaki who majorly overhauled this article.
Now this I can support
Sorry to be that guy but shouldn’t it be union girl?
Or is the author implying a woman only union?
Would there be a men union? Can we call it menunion?
Edit: seems like only one person understood why this language is divisive.
I appreciate you being that guy. Differentiating by gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or anything else is just a distraction. A Union is much stronger than a men’s women + women’s union + non-binary Union + whatever else anyone wants to add.
Plus that avoids having to deal with TERFs.
I’ve taken to interpreting “girl+noun” to be a state of being, and a adjective itself; used by girls, women, or feminine identifying individuals.
Another example with be “girl dinner” which is a when a feminine identifying individual is eating a dinner they find to be silly or funny in some way.
The author is implying a message to empower women to unionize. Not including men in a message does not mean men can’t or shouldn’t unionize.
what a “all lives matter” kind of take you should be sorry to be that guy
No, it’s a linguistic play.
Maybe.
Historically yes. No.
