Re: On how trans-identified men don't care about women or better the feminist movement in any tangible way

Like a nice little libfem, I used to think that men could be feminists. But it all falls apart when you stop looking at men as individuals and start looking at them as a group.

Men oppressed women for thousands of years based on biological sex. They STILL oppress women based on biological sex. But suddenly, because men see something that women have that they can't have, womanhood is redefined to be based on feelings.

Why do we need to respect men's feelings? Were they respecting women's feelings for the centuries where we weren't allowed to vote, own property, or have bodily autonomy? Do they respect women's feelings now?

If all this was happening a hundred years ago, they'd have complained about the women's suffrage movement being "exclusionary" because THEY were allowed to vote.

This is why it pisses me off when they use women’s issues (infertility, lack of periods) as a trump card to prove their non-existent arguments. Have they ever raised awareness for infertile women? Or spoken about the stigma women face when they are unable to conceive? When women’s issues are spoken about, they try to make it about them. Look at the abortion debate in Ireland, when TRAs were more upset that the campaign included the word “women” than the fact a woman in Ireland could go to PRISON for having bodily autonomy.
