It's not a slap in the face because we think you are so much below us, FFS. It's because when you call yourself a woman you are taking away the word meant specially and exclusively for us. Leaving us with no word for ourselves, and thus no rights in law or life.

When you call yourself a woman, you are erasing the 6,500 physical differences between males and females that have a such a huge impact on the lives of girls and women.

When you call yourself a woman, you are denying us our "lived reality."

When you call yourself a woman, you are reducing us to a set of misogynistic stereotypes in your own head.

When you call yourself a woman, you are telling us that the ideas and fantasies in your male mind have more validity than the material reality of our female bodies.

When you call yourself a woman, you are forcing yourself into a category where you don't belong.

When you call yourself a woman, you are putting your boot on our necks.

When you call yourself a woman, you are engaging in a threatening male dominance display, marking our territory off as if it were yours by right.

When you call yourself a woman, you are telling us that we genuine women and what we want do not matter one iota - only what males like you and what you males want matters.

When you call yourself a woman, you are showing us that you as a male are boss, that you as a male rule the roost, and we women better STFU and lump it. Same old misogyny just dressed up in different clothes.
