What's killing me is that other women seem fine with this. Just because some women are comfortable having their panties down with a strange man inches away, I'm not. I don't want to try to change a tampon with a strange man in the room. Why are my sex-segregated rights being stripped for male fetish? This is the single biggest setback for women's rights in the Western world EVER actually.

Previously we didn't have rights, and we gained going forward. This strips our rights.

I know how I tense up around certain men. I've had them follow me down the street. I've had them touch my breasts while pretending they were just passing me.

This Woke Generation who demand Safe Spaces away from WORDS are trying to take away a physically safe space for half the human race.

Sadly, it's going to take MANY well-publicized cases of men in costumes entering women's spaces and raping them (which HAS happened, but the media hushes it up) -- it's going to take many innocent victims before this even comes up for debate.

Meanwhile, we have a room of middle aged Senators about to look at a man in a "woman costume" with a straight face on Thursday and they're not even going to laugh. This is insanity.

You'll realize when you talk to them, most are very young. They tend to have no experience of male sexual violence. A lot if them have watched so many superhero films where some size six is kicking a full grown mans arse, they genuinely think they have a chance of defending themselves.

Some of them are so woke they think it's more important to virtue signal and practice 'inclusivity' even though they know it will end up with a lot of women being victimised. Can't reason with those.

I think harsh lessons may have to be learned

You'll realize when you talk to them, most are very young.

I know the majority are Gen Z and under, but the two long-time close friends I lost over their obsession with Trans Rights were born in 1970 and 1981. There's a certain segment of Millennials and Gen X that cling to virtue signalling. I don't know why. To be "hip"? To stay "young"?

Then there's the politicians who are on board with this. Do people realize that Dianne Feinstein was 6 years old when the Wizard of Oz was new in theaters? Nancy Pelosi was almost 2 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. If "young" is the excuse, what's their excuse? I'm not saying that rich people are immune from sexual violence. They're not. But it seems to be wealthier women (of any age) who support this the most. Maybe it's a combo of age and wealth, or even if the young aren't from wealthy families, they have yet to pay their own way through life.

I think a lot of wealthier women have had to let all kinds of misogyny pass for the sake of work and relationships and they knew they couldn't make too much of a stink about it. Believe me, they experience just as much sexual violence as any other woman, I have yet to come across an older woman of any political leaning who was absolutely shocked at the notion of women regularly experiencing sexual violence, the way that men pretend to be shocked (i.e. shocked that the reality they've been lying about and denying in face of overwhelming evidence became too obvious to ignore. Shocked, I tell you!). They know full well what is happening, they've experienced it on their own skins, they just have a lifetime of brainwashing and being told they have to put up with it for the sake of their careers and likeability. The ones you see on top are just the ones who could grit their teeth and bear it (survivorship bias and all).

Women of my generation had to put up with open misogyny, sexism and sexual harassment even in prestige careers. I could tell stories....

That's why I get so incredibly angry with all the older female politicians supporting the US Equality Act:

Tammy Baldwin, Liz Warren, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi et al.,- are TRAITORS & OPPORTUNISTS selling out women for their own gain.
