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.

I also suspect many of those "nice" women and girls (at least subconsciously) take for granted that it's other women, lesser women, that will be endangered by allowing biological males (the vast majority of whom have zero interest in "bottom surgery") into female spaces : It's immigrant women trying to clean bathrooms for a living that have to worry about suddenly running into a violent , entitled men in those same bathrooms. It's criminal women who have to worry about being incarcerated with violent rape-y trans "women". It's black and hispanic girls that need sports scholarship, not Nice Middle and Upper Class white girls ...and the white girls that were hoping for a sports scholarship are poor, so they don't count. And so on.

I don't want to make any racial generalizations, but of my three friends who were willing to stab me in the back over Trans Demands, two were white (one middle class, the other lower) and one mixed-race Euro-Black (and middle class). It would be interesting to have a large-scale, controlled study done on this. Definitely though it's wealthier people who support All Things Woke because they generally live in gated McMansions away from the chaos they actively support.

Its a cleansing of the guard for race and monetary travesties.
