"Power is being able to say complete and utter nonsense and have it be believed, powerlessness is where no matter how much cogent evidence and proof one has, to not be believed."- Catherine MacKinnon
'Two researchers analysed how men treated women while playing 163 games of Halo 3.
Men who performed poorly in the games responded by being hostile to female players.
The male winners were mostly pleasant to other players, while the losing men made unsavoury comments to female players.
"Low-status males that have the most to lose due to a hierarchical reconfiguration are responding to the threat female competitors pose," the researchers, from the University of New South Wales and the Miami University in Ohio, write. "High-status males with the least to fear were more positive."'
The above two quotes are relevant here because many TIMs self identify as losers pre-transition. Also relevant is that queer culture is a counter culture movement. So these dudes failed at every self imposed standard of masculinity, decided that meant they were not men, and joined a counter culture movement where their qualities are celebrated and validated- BUT continue their loser behavior by punching down on women, trans men, etc. and throwing a complete fit whenever they receive any pushback from people they believe are below them. For most of these people the double standard is the point because they may be bottom of the barrel in any mainstream social sphere but have elevated status in their own circles.
