Are you really saying the only thing that was stopping women from being bullying assholes before is that we had no one weaker than us?

I think a lot of women have a chip on their shoulder from historical oppression, which is understandable, but they’re taking that chip and using it as an excuse to seize a moment where they can feel like they now have a little bit of power over people like they’ve never had before, yes, is that all women? Obviously not, but those people tend to be the loudest of the anti-trans movement.

It’s the same as a lot of gay men being misogynistic, because nothing makes insecure people feel better about themselves than being a part of something that brings other people down.
