You're not even able to articulate what it is about my "attitude" you dislike, so I'm not obliged to entertain the spurious criticism. Come back when you've read some feminist theory, until then I'll always be more of a feminist than you.

I'm not sure what part of you acting like you were the only expert on feminism who must tell all the silly women what they have to do to fight back trans activists was not clear.

I wasn't aware we were in a competence. Whatever, theory is useless if you don't put it into practice. I'll believe you when you are able to acept that a woman disagrees with you.

We've already established that I'm literally more of an expert on feminism than you are. So it's not an attitude, just the reality of the situation, which you are at fault for.

There is no way of you knowing whether I've been putting the theory into practise or not, since you are completely unfamiliar with the theory. There are men & women who agree with me & men & women who disagree with me. I've always been aware of that. No idea what relevance that is supposed to have.

Your man Stoller has been in charge of feminism's re-definition of gender since 1970. Every time you say the equivalent of "sex & gender are not the same thing" you are quoting a man. I'm not making the decision that gender & sex should be regarded as synonyms. I'm just pointing out that they have been synonyms for over 500 years & continue to be synonyms even to this day, using a number of examples within every day life, academia & even feminism & transgenderism.

The past days you were complaining about feminists following Stoller's lead and here you are using him as example in a discussion about whether men can be feminists. Way to show you don't believe half the stuff you say.
