Yeah, even if we got rid of the rape-culture in law-enforcement (already a tall order), the extreme frequency of male violence and creeping on women and the inherent difficulties of prosecuting these acts already renders any hope of justice for the majority of the cases impractical and futile, let alone the slew of cases that would happen if women lost any protections. Though actually what would more likely happen is that we'd get women traumatised and fearing leaving the house and being in public even more than they already do, but we could at least rest easy knowing that some male trans person will use their hermit ways as evidence of having a female brain.

The only way for spaces meant to protect women from male violence to stop existing is for male violence over women to stop existing. Calling women misandrists and bigots for needing spaces away from male violence in situations when they're vulnerable to it the most, and advocating the removal of their protections for that reason...I just have no words for how sick that is.

It’s all well and good for you to say you aren’t but that’s simply untrue.

Ok but what if they identify as a not-misogynist?

Oooooh and what if the rapists don’t identify as rapists?

Well, I'd hate to ever disrespect anyone's identity, that's like the most traumatising and abusive thing one person could do to another.

You’d think so but actually you can just find the police, and prosecute them to the full extent of the law for that, which removes all the trauma and dehumanisation.
