Terfs genuinely seem to believe women are physically inferior to men so it isn’t surprising to me that some take that self-loathing to other levels.
Women are actually capable of doing anything they set their minds to, intellectual or physical, everything is a skill that can be learned. Men create myths of women’s inferiority including physical to justify their secondary status, “they need someone strong to protect (read: privately abuse) them.”
They’ve convinced women we cannot learn the skill of muscle building and fighting so not only that we don’t physically compete with them and potentially win but also to subjugate us. They don’t want you fighting back, in the private sphere or in the public sphere of politics. Women have been the leaders of guerrilla movements the world over - China, Vietnam, El Salvador, Palestine, the Philippines (ongoing). Would you say they were weaker than their male counterparts? Obviously not, because those male opponents died trying to fight them. Look at Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
Women should actually be demanding participation in physical training spaces and widespread knowledge of self-defense skills including firearms training. We need to create collective parity with men and their monopoly on violence is in our disfavor.
Who else has a monopoly on violence? The capitalists and the imperialists. Patriarchy is a division created by class society and endless expansion by empire leaves behind so many particular issues for women. Sudden loss of health services and martyrdom of family members being just one of them.
These are issues that women should be collectively focusing on and drawing connections to but it seems some are willing to concede the ground of women not being lesser than men physically or intellectually just to affirm other bigotries.
Meanwhile I’m arguing for women to become united on a class basis to become armed to resist violence collectively. Who do you think has the better view on women’s liberation? Hmm it’s a hard choice, I’m going with the blackpilled nihilism #imjustagirl Lana del Ray dark academia posting with a side of gender phrenology. That seems like it’ll free women.
