Jimmy Kimmel is another one. On a recent show he was railing against the anti-science views of the Republicans, yet he is an enthusiastic supporter of the notion that all it takes to be a woman is to call yourself one.

It's so fucking disrespectful to us, to our biology, to our struggles, and so profoundly unscientific. And dangerous.

Kimmel lives in California - let's Tweet at him asking Jimmy what he thinks of the new law that allows TiMs to self-id as women and be housed in women's jails.

Hey Jimmy, can you reassure us that this new law won't lead to the rape of at least one woman? And is that cool with you?

That the "rights" of a man who claims to feel a disconnect between his mind and his body matter more than the rights of a woman not to be forcibly impregnated by a stranger?

We need to take the fight to them. Put them on the spot. Challenge every stupid fucking thing that comes out of their mouths. And we need to do it now.

I'm not on Twitter, but if you or anyone actually does this, be sure to remind him that putting males in a female prison is a violation of the Geneva convention...

Geneva Convention prevents male prisoners being housed with female prisoners. The geneva convention actually states single sex incarcertion is non optional.

I've come to the conclusion that it's the rare man that actually listens to women. I think men of my generation and slightly younger do listen more than men now and men before my generation. Now, boys are corrupted by easily-available porn and basically trained to treat women with contempt. Men of Oliver's age (he's in his 40s I think?) hit the backlash against 2nd Wave feminism so many of them are pseudo-feminists IMO.
