I've been saving this to read as it's like wading through the swamp of eternal cognitive dissonance.
Is this the biggest and best example of a straw man arguing ever?
A very loud twaw friend shared it, and a close friend found it "thought provoking" though I think she's more on the feminist side tbh. I think it was all the big words.
It's a good exercise in challenging my own beliefs, though I started to lol a lot towards the end. (The bit about "its well known in sexist societies..." when it's well known sexist societies tend to have gender identity issues.)
The biggest issue in terms of their argument evidence, apart from all the stupidity around "they're not really men," is that they've used and muddled US sources to back up their U.K. arguments which is really important to remember.
If you dare read it, I wondered what others' thoughts are.
