To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

Why does that matter?
Women are not being misogynistic when they call the men's team "The NBA" but men are? How does that even work?
Because of the patriarchy. That's why Feminism exists. When a woman within a patriarchy uses misogynistic terms, she's a victim. When a man does it, he's a perpetrator. That's also why women were legally forgiven for reactive violence but men were punished for using the same methods and it was not considered reactive.

That was in the 80s. Spousal rape was legal in many states then. How is this news to you? How uneducated are you?
Sorry... because spousal rape was legal in the 1980s in many states, Brittney Griner is a victim when she calls the men's team "The NBA" in her book?
You are making absolutely no sense.
Read the part about victim/perpetrator and patriarchy again. I know you can connect these 3 dots, buddy.
No, I really can't. I have no idea what any of that has to do with her calling the name of the men's team by the actual name of the men's team.
You must think she's pretty stupid.
Well, then we're done here if you can't understand me and I can't make my meaning any simpler.
You've already stated you don't understand my message, so stop suggesting what I think. You don't know, you've already said.
No, I don't think she's stupid. That's a "you" thing.
Do you like being abusive to women? Why else would you make up a strawman like that?
Sorry, you think she's oppressed when she calls the men's team by its actual name because marital rape was legal before she was born. You're just implying she's stupid by not knowing what name to call the men's team. My mistake.
I don't appreciate your violence and aggression towards women, including myself.
What violence? What aggression? As far as I can tell, the only aggressive person here has been the one calling me names.
Gaslighting.
Fine. Please quote my violence.
No thanks.
I didn't think so.
That would be because you lied and there was no violence in anything I said.
Gaslighting.
You can easily prove I'm gaslighting by quoting whatever I said that was violent.
You won't, because it was a lie.
I've already declined discussing further with you. Can you respect that basic boundary?
You're free to stop responding any time you like.
You're also free to keep lying.
It's a pretty transparent lie though.
Okay, I accept that that is your pov 👍
I thought you weren't going to talk to me anymore. I guess that was another lie.
Okay
Ah, I see. This is one of these "I must have the last word" things. How childish. Go for it.
No, it's not. It's letting my claims about your behavior be proven right by your own behavior. Even when asking for peace, for resolution, etc. Thank you for showing perfectly how misogynistic and cruel towards women you are. It wrapped the conversation in a neat little bow. Hope women treat you the way you deserve.
Btw with every additional aggressive comment on your part, you are looking more and more like an abusive man towards women. Like reading the entire comment chain between us shows how vitriolic you are towards women. So yeah, this is just proving my point all around. The most neutral responses are met with controlling and disrespectful and abusive replies. So keep going, whatever. It's proving my point with each reply.
