I’d say much more. Women are too accepting, probably because we know we’re powerless. I’d be the same if I wasn’t stubborn as a mule. Men are much better at putting their foot down and calling shit out. Unfortunately a lot of men don’t care for women’s rights só they’re not TRAs, but they’re not allies. They’re ambivalent. And then the men who are trying to invade women’s spaces and the mysogynists are fighting against the women willing to stand up for themselves (plus a few male allies), with many female allies. In other words, we’re f-ked.

It’s weird, in this particular battle, we’re fighting a lot of women, we’re also fighting the left and right-wingers seem to be allies (a- for the wrong reasons and b- yuk), but the war is what it always has been- the patriarchy.

We aren't powerless at all so we can't know we're powerless.

Rather women want to be nice and kind because they believe that makes a better society. Most people here probably believe that too. The hard truth is sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and that means you won't have everyone like you.

Women also want to be liked because they want to trade on social capital. There's a self interest aspect in believing woke ideas. They indicate you come from the enlightened upper classes. We still use the word "nice" to refer to both polite people and those who come from a privileged background and being woke is seen as the same as being nice. People listen to nice middle class girls.

Thank you for that.
