No one’s required to sleep with anyone; racism is fucking immaterial. Also, striking people is consistently wrong; striking women specifically is worse.

Whether a slap actually works as coercion is debatable, but it’s definitely an attempt. Appeals to force are usually ineffective and always a fallacy.

Well, I’m not sure about the “usually ineffective” part. They’re effective up to a point. That’s how authoritarian regimes keep millions of people in cooperation; they’re afraidof retaliation by force.

When a TIM slaps a female, they’re not punching up. They’re punching down.
As usual.
It can be both an expression of anger and an implicit threat. Next time, you’ll know better.

The casual approval of violence is disgusting and is itself deliberate intimidation.

Of course, it’s once again worth noting that some polls show that the female-attracted group to be least interested in sleeping with trans women is… trans women who claim to be lesbians.
