    At no point in my lifetime have we had a chance to elect anyone not influenced by capital lobbyists. Our elections are a farce where the choices are between letting things get worse or keeping them the same. We’re ratcheting further and further into hell every few years and given nothing but the illusion of choice to prevent it. The votes and opinions of the working class have literally no statistical influence on legislation passed in this country. None.

    “Sexes” not genders this movement predates any discourse on trans rights and related. This movement has always been about women hence the name. Then “organized activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests”. If you think women should be able to vote, own property, have bank accounts, have bodily autonomy, etc. You are for women’s rights and interests, and it is possible to hate men at the same time. In the same way that a black person can hate white people and still fight for racial equality. It’s not ideal but it is possible. You are both redefining the word and gatekeeping entry to the movement.

    I’m a man and I do not care if a feminist feels some kinda way about men. They have really good reasons to. Maybe they’ll feel better if and when those reasons go away. Hopefully I can earn their trust by being an ally to them. You don’t get to kick them out of the movement.
