WHAT ARE YALL READING RN you must tell me

[mousidy]

What is your opinion on Misandry? I have been told frequently that it doesn't exist, but I think it is the foundation on which a lot of TERFs hate us. The concept of a rape organ, or that trans women are men invading women's spaces seem rooted in this idea that men are evil. I value your take

the logic of the patriarchy is that men are strong and capable, while women are weak and helpless damsels, justifying men's control over them. but because women are cast as ineffectual, a class of women the patriarchy wants to violently suppress must be rhetorically masculinized, or else they could pose no convincing violent threat worthy of said violent suppression

if terfs thought men were evil, they wouldn't collaborate so happily with the very structures of patriarchy that oppress them just so they could stick it to a marginalized group. the masculinizing rhetoric doesn't serve on its own to paint us as evil--only strong enough to be capable of enacting evil. it's the transfemininity that actually provides the "evil" part of the equation

[paissiges]

in addition to what you've said--

the thing is that if you heard someone say out of context that trans women are "men invading women's spaces in order to assault them" it could just as easily have been a TERF as an antifeminist rightist. that means one of three things:

both TERFs and the antifeminist right believe that men are evil (very unlikely),

these two groups independently developed the same set of beliefs about trans women from completely different starting points (also unlikely), or

transmisogyny is not, in either case, a product of "misandry" (the actual answer).
