Not all that cool
No, it’s really not.
Women’s history is women’s history. That’s all. We have zero obligation to share it with other categories of people, because it’s women’s. Words have meaning.

Honey Dijon? Seriously? I’ll never be able to look at a pot of mustard again without laughing.
Wait until you meet Marmalade Marmite.
Wendy Carlos? Wasn’t that the name of one of the early Moog synthesizer artists who created Switched-on Bach? It’s not the same Wendy Carlos, is it?
Just how many days, weeks, and months do these people want, anyway. The calendar at Emporia State University, in Kansas, lists June as Pride Month, October as LGBT History Month, and November as Trans Awareness Month. That’s besides all the special Remembrance, or Visibility, or Coming-out, or Awareness days and weeks for every conceivable category under the “trans umbrella.” Now they want March, Women’s History Month too? Not satisfied with a quarter of the year, they want an entire third of the calendar. Greedy, narcissistic thugs. They are parasites who attach themselves to other groups, steal their good will and their achievements, twist their purposes, and, when they have sucked all the blood out of them, kill the hosts.
They should be picturing Kiera Bell instead.
Wendy Carlos, formerly Walter Carlos of Switched-on Bach fame.

I did not know that. I had that album since the ’70s, read all the liner notes, but never saw any mention, that I remember, about Wendy having been Walter.
A fine display of chunky male chins.
Well that’s ruined breakfast for me.
Walter Carlos “transitioned” in the early 1970s. I was only familiar with his work when he was Walter. The original “Switched-On Bach” album lists him as Walter. I remember friends finding it amusing that he changed his name and the music publisher scrambled to redo the listings and album covers.
I loved Switched-On Bach; was annoyed when I learned he switched himself.
AoS – sorry! I hope you mean today’s breakfast, not all breakfast forever.
Ophelia, it’ll be fine once I get over the shock :) Funny how you picked those two, though, as I do have one or the other on toast most mornings.
Their aim is to shift opinions to their side of a contested concept: trans women are women. Their evidence is a bunch of men pretending to be women.
They really do not have a theory of mind worth speaking of.

Time to abandon your heathen yeast sludge and switch to Vegemite methinks!
Holms, I do occasionally buy a jar of Aussie yeast sludge. I serve it to guests so I can keep the good stuff for myself.
Ooh yum good old Aussie yeast sludge.
Thanks for this thread. I’m one of those people* who can immediately taste, just from having it suggested, any flavour which I have ever encountered. That’s both a blessing – I can still enjoy foodstuffs in my imagination which I am no longer able to consume in reality; and a curse – when someone suggests pairing Marmite with anything sweet. The first time that happened was when I told my husband about discovering that I could do this, and that I was thoroughly enjoying an imaginary Mars bar, and he asked if I could imagine any other flavours with it, like Marmite.
I can assure you that Mars bars and Marmite are just as unpleasant a combination as marmalade and Marmite. Honey and Dijon mustard are merely weird in comparison, as is the fried eggs with corned beef which I am currently eating.
*I have met only one other person who has the same brain glitch, but then it’s not something I get to mention except rarely.
P.S. I have informed my husband that, in future, should he decide to serve up fried eggs with corned beef again, I would like to have cheese with it. That would vastly improve the flavour. Funnily enough, he declined to taste my dinner when I offered him some. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tigger, I have either Marmite or marmalade on toast, not both together. I’m strange, but I’m not weird. Marmite does pair well with mature Cheddar, and it really enhances the flavour of stews.
Oh, and while I’m not particularly fond of corned beef, when I was a kid my mum used to mix grated cheese with chunks of corned beef, put it into an oven dish, make a couple of wells in the mixture and crack an egg into them. She then baked them in the oven until the eggs were cooked and the cheese was bubbling hot. It was delicious.
AoS, that recipe of your mother’s is perfect – cheese makes everything better! It goes well with both Marmite and marmalade, but I doubt that even the best cheese which I have ever tasted – the indescribably delicious aged red Shropshire – could rescue a piece of the best toast on the planet which had been desecrated with both spreads simultaneously. (>▂<)
I think that you have been very sensible to resist mixing them.
