The reaction to Tara Knightâs latest essay is something to behold. Anyone thatâs read my previous posts knows I absolutely detest Knight and for very good reasons, still I can understand the position he was in with âpuppy girlâ and that what was done to him was rape. Multiple times.
The reaction of all those TIMs taking it super personally with some saying that this could drive âgirls to suicideâ. Knight gives examples of weaponized incompetence in hetero relationships and says those men have a sister, when really itâs just those same men, except now they take estrogen and instead of diverting all the labor onto a female partner, they do it to the few people that want to date them, such as some bi women or other transbians.
Knight having been on the receiving end of it describes the problem but is in complete denial that this has anything to do with male socialization. However he doesnât need to say that because so many of MTFs have been the person he spoke of, hundreds of them are all pissed at him accusing him of calling them for what they are, men that weaponize their incompetence. One response said that Knight might as well have told the puppy girl to just kill himself.
Itâs actually very interesting seeing the response to the criticism being the exact behavior being criticized. These men donât simply call themselves women, they call themselves girls. Itâs always âthis will make a girl kill herselfâ, the hypothetical MTF reading the article and feeling guilt, shame, and self hatred, will have the word âgirlâ used to refer to him. Similar to what âpuppy girlâ was described doing, making himself small, soft, and childlike, to avoid any sort of accountability, the people raging against Knight do the exact same thing and the exact same methods, talking about how calling out their weaponized incompetence makes them dysphoric and suicidal. I think Knight realizes that this is an issue bigger than just his shitty ex, (and he also admitted to having been on the other end of it), but mistakes it for simply being a general human problem. And not something that males disproportionally do, which is why he pissed of hundreds of other âtransfeministsâ who have convinced themselves that Marxism is when you donât work and have your partner do all the labor for you and give you sex, and cruelty is being asked to do the dishes. The way male entitlement and MRAism has taken on a progressive and leftist look.
Since âtransfeministsâ have decided they wanted separatism and are in community with mostly each other, itâs no surprise that shit like this happens, thereâs no female person there to force to be the bangmaid and therapist, but they need someone to fill that role for them.
It also must be defended, itâs not weaponized incompetence, that âgirlâ is just disabled! Bringing this up is comparing trans women to men! You enabled that girl! Sheâs homeless because of you. You tricked her into being reliant on you. Sheâs just a disabled puppy trans girl.
The response to Knight sends out the message that if you tell people you were coerced into sex, therefore raped, itâs actually your fault for not setting boundaries and for letting the trans woman do that. They donât care he was raped. Their first priority is to defend PG because they are PG to whatever extent.
And thatâs where I honestly feel bad for some of them. Your rape is your fault for not having boundaries, itâs your fault you do all the labor because you let them become reliant on you. Thereâs solidarity, reserved for abusers only who are the real victims here. You made your abuser homeless, she mightâve killed herself, and itâs because of you.
Thatâs the message. I donât like Knight but heâs not the only person receiving this message, itâs every female person silenced by an MTF partner because criticism makes them dysphoric and is cruel, itâs the MTFs within trans feminism that are more patient, lenient, compassionate, and have it used against them. At the core, someone wrote an article describing how they were exploited and raped, multiple times, and the âtrans feministâ community by majority responded with victim blaming and hostility and insults, hundreds of them.
But also the lack of awareness is astounding, because read this one, go back and read Knightâs article I harshly criticized months ago, âWhy everyone loves to hurt a tranâ, and youâll find the exact same mindset that leads to this as the end result where victims arenât believed and you cannot call out your abuser or remove them from your community, otherwise youâre âsocially murderingâ him, and this now being weaponized against Knight himself.
