“We have asked students in our classes to describe characteristics of people whom they’ve heard called “man-haters” and “woman-haters”. A man hater is a woman who speaks her own mind, a feminist, or a lesbian: in other words, a woman who has her own voice and doesn’t put men first is a man-hater. By contrast, students are unable to recall any situations in which they have heard someone being called a woman-hater. We ask, “Are rapists and wife batterers woman-haters?” They answer, “Just because a man rapes or batters women doesn’t mean he hates women.” The differential definitions ascribed to terms that should have equivalent meanings suggest an enormous collective need both to deny male hatred of women and to derogate independent female action (which might be used to expose expressions of that male hatred).” - Dee L. R. Graham in Loving to Survive

If you don't need dysphoria to be trans, you don't need a lack of dysphoria to be cis.

“How porn is implicated in rape is complex and multilayered. Clearly, not all men who use porn rape, but what porn does is create what some feminists call a “rape culture” by normalizing, legitimizing, and condoning violence against women. In image after image, violent and abusive sex is presented as hot and deeply satisfying for all parties. These messages in porn chip away at t he social norms that define violence against women as deviant and unacceptable, norms that are already constantly under assault in a male-dominated society.” – Gail Dines
