On top of the Sex Matters tweets yesterday, sometimes terfs get within MILLIMETRES of getting it. But I fully expect JK Rowling to zoom off into deep space oblivious to how close she was. pic.twitter.com/v6Mqg0GgOt
Men are allowed to fear all men, even though “not all men” are assaulters. Women? Not so much. Not allowed to be afraid of men who have already demonstrated a blatant propensity to violate women’s boundaries.
Wills doesn’t recognize that male on male violence is a problem for the men to solve among themselves. It’s not women’s problem, and it’s not for men to solve on the backs of women. It’s not their call. It’s women’s right to say “no.”
maddog, that’s exactly right. They like to say “not all trans”, but any man (even those who dress like women) who violates women’s boundaries is exactly what we worry about…a potential threat. If a man violates my boundaries, I absolutely consider him a threat.
Also, the men who so easily violate women’s boundaries have been the ones who have never recognized a woman’s right to say no…even if they give lip service to the idea. Sure, say no to that guy over there, but I’m not a dangerous predator. You can’t say no to me, because…(fill in reason).
I think that it’s even worse than that, iknklast; (fill in reason) = “I’m me. I’m the only one who counts.” Narcissistic men are total solipsists.
Other men are rivals for the prizes that narcissistic men seek – high salaries, fast cars, expensive homes, women. These men are totally incapable of admitting to themselves that other people have rights which are more valuable to a harmonious society than any privileges to which they feel entitled. Any woman they desire who is with another man hasn’t made a choice, because in their heads women aren’t autonomous people. Women, they believe, ought to say no to other men, and yes to them. A woman whom they desire who is with another man is a slut. Women they don’t desire? They believe those to be a complete waste of space who ought to be wiped out. Hence the ease with which they attribute genocidal intentions to gender critical women – the only thoughts they can imagine are those which they themselves entertain, so the only response they can have to other people attempting to thwart their warped agendas is DARVO.
Men like Himdia Wannabe have taken this mindset to the end of the weird branch line, and have gone from desiring the ownership of a woman, which didn’t satisfy their craving for total control because even women whom they’ve married persist in being real people, to the ownership of womanhood itself. Of course he feels entitled to it – he feels entitled to everything.
That’s actually a really good point about boundaries, and one that needs to be made more often.
Demonstrating disregard for women’s boundaries is an immediate defeater, and it’s baked into the very core of what it means to “live as” or to “pass as”. For what is the point of passing at all except to do that which only members of the target sex do? In our largely degendered society, there’s actually very little left that is restricted by sex where sex isn’t important. Therefore, the purpose of passing is to access by means of deception those spaces, programs, services, etc. reserved for the other sex on the basis of sex.
Whenever someone argues that “transwomen” pose no danger in women’s and girls’ spaces because they’ve been using them surreptitiously already, that is an admission to willful disregard for females’ boundaries. The evidence marshaled in support of the conclusion actively negates it.
He says ” I could pretend to be a doctor. Examine people. It’s happened. Would you ban doctors?” Well yes, I would ban fake doctors, who wouldn’t?
He’s very loud, very opinionated, very misogynistic, very conceited; and very, very stupid.
Oh, and completely lacking in any kind of self-awareness.

He gets within MILLIMETRES of getting it. But he zooms off into deep space oblivious to how close he was.
