Wow, I could have written this myself. Finding GC was a wake up call for me. I had largely just gone along with it, blindly accepting everything I was told so as not to be mean or hurtful.

I became a feminist because I was tired of being shrunken. I was sick of being minimized, of crossing my legs and leaning against the opposite edge of my seat to make room for the "manspreading" individual next to me on the bus. I was done being talked over and being told how to be myself by men and women with internalized misogyny. I was strong!

But then I found GC, and it was a revelation. I realized how much room I had been making for men in my own female spaces! I was, once again, being told how to woman by people who had grown up with male privilege. I was still being shrunken, hushed, and talked over to make room in the conversation for people who, even if they had similar experiences, had chosen to live those experiences. Even still, I never commented or posted. I was grappling between my newfound rage and my indoctrinated beliefs (not to mention fearing the social backlash of saying that sex is biological and gender is bologna).

But seeing GC along with several other feminist subs get erased changed things. Watching trans people dance on the grave of GC while casually ignoring the fact that rape fetish subs were untouched sealed the deal.

I've peaked. I'm here. I won't be silent anymore.

exactly!!!! male socialztion DOES NOT CHANGE just because you call yourself a woman now. it's not retroactive like that!!! i'm so sick of the gaslighting. "this is a woman's penis" "i was raised like a girl" "i AM a biological woman" "i can menstruate too" could people seriously pull their heads out of their asses for five seconds and think about something OTHER THAN THEMSELVES!!!

ugh and YES why are violent subs like that still okay but GC and feminist spaces aren't?????? it's just more of the internet censoring non-liberal opinions like it always does. i hate it. i'm not a nazi because i recognize trans women are fundamentally different, ok, i'm a person WHO THINKS FOR HERSELF and doesn't just kowtoe to the woke agenda.

They somehow believe socialization isn't a thing. But they will also say young boys without influence don't turn out more violent than girls, which means they are blaming male violence on socialization. Any female who games online can tell you literally all of us get harassed by at least one guy in every single game we play and we learn that it's just a normal part of being a woman and if we speak out we will be excluded from the whole group, I would really love for them to try to explain that one. Would they make up fake examples of women doing the same thing to men? The only time I saw women instigating creepy online relationships outside of one incident that bordered on pedo turf, they were doing it purely for attention and the guys were what annoying people today would call simps or soyboys. Except they really were pretty much the definition of that and they loved every moment of it. No Woman would have to harass them, if she sent a nude or a sext they would literally debase themselves just to make sure that sexual gratification kept coming for as long as possible.
