Oh it's certainly bullshit. By their reasoning butch women don't face oppression, when actually butch women are regularly penalised for not being feminine enough aka not falling into the subservient, decorative role female objects are supposed to fulfill.

But I'm just saying, this is the bullshit that they use as their explanation of sexism. (it's also why they consider radfen criticism of makeup/heels/shaving to be sexist, because it's criticising femininity and that's sexist. When actually radfems whole point is men get to be the default and not have to do anything to be acceptable whereas women are expected to spend hours of time and money policing their appearance to fit within the narrow range deemed acceptable presentation for the underclass.)

It is almost like if you remove makeup from face you will stop being a woman.
