Women said they don't need to vote and that being a stay-at-home wife obedient to her husband is "empowering" and that being beaten by their husbands isn't wrong. Women saying misogynistic things and trying to suck up to the patriarchy doesn't discredit feminism one bit. We've already been through this.

They're not saying they shouldn't have the right to vote. They're saying they don't want to be classed with you. I don't class GC women women with trans men (I said GC women, not women), because they don't want to be classed with trans women and in turn I don't think it's fair to class trans men with women if they don't want to be classed. They have their own issues and needs.

Uuuh, enforcing a belief in gendersouls, removing women's protections and advancements in women's rights, telling women they're privileged for being female and gaslighting them in regards to their oppression IS forcing a narrative onto us, or rather women in general. You can't both advocate the removal of rights that a disenfranchised group has fought for, advocate for a completely unfounded regressive worldview with gendersouls to which women's rights need to be sacrificed AND claim that you're not being in any way political.

We're not saying you're privileged for being female. We're saying you're privileged for being cis. Trans men at some point lived presenting as female and know some female struggles, yet they themselves are a marginalized group separate from women.
