"Men get treated like s***"

testosterone, and was like "Shit! All of a sudden, I wanted to have sex with every woman I saw! Here, I had always thought the 'male sex drive' was cultural patriachal BS, evo-psych nonsense, and now I was going nuts every time I saw a miniskirt!"



I think there are several reasons for the bigotry against transpeople, in radfem circles. One is the bizarre conspiracy theory about men getting sex changes to "infiltrate" places like the MWMF. Other reasons, too. Will elaborate later.

I actually read a radfem blog that alluded to several warped reasons why they hate born male transgendered people. One of the things she said was that crushing the "patriarchy" will actually solve the problem of transgenderism because no woman will ever want to nurture a male baby again (which will be unnecessary anyway since technology allows for gender specific reproduction) and no women will want to become men anymore since there is no power to be gained by doing so. In other words, "I'm already working to fix your problem, so just STFU."

This goes a long way towards revealing the level of hate associated with some (if not most) radfems. This is the same author that was defended on HoF and believes misandry doesn't exist. Go figure.

an artificial construct-- but one (and this is key) deliberately created with the express purpose of oppressing the 51% of the population that mistakenly believe they are 'female'.

So for a transperson of either gender to want to become the other gender, or to identify with the other gender- in the case of FTM they are emulating and attempting to become the oppressor, and in the case of MTF they are trying to embody an artificial construct which is oppressive and which the embodiment of constitutes continued oppression for others.

As for the rant you linked: Jesus, that person is a piece of work.

But the sad part is her brand of hateful rhetoric is just not that uncommon. It's easy to point fingers at truly hateful people like Jeffreys and Dworkin, and some feminists will say it's unfair to paint them with that brush. Then they will link to people like Twisty who repost the S.C.U.M. manifesto. At some point you realize how many well published radfems fully invested in the concept of the phallus as the root of all evil on the planet and you start to question the reasonableness, if not the sanity, of the movement. But of course mentioning that means you are an apologist for teh patriarchy.

Nutshell there. Man hate = feminism. Don't believe me? Take it up with the radfem spokesperson.

Maybe you can answer that when you proxy in ("had to! been banned so many times!") under your next identity.

keeping an eye on DU!

Obvious sock is obvious.

I blame Gender Essentialism.

(Last time I checked, net nanny software was available for people who wanted a G rated intertubes experience.)

I swear, and this isn't directed at any of you guys, of course.. but if I see one more fucking asterisk I'm going to shit. A fucking brick.

normally I'd spell it out.

Of course given the double standards I'm sure that would be alert worthy . . .
