So utterly sick of women being attacked for being white and middle class,

It's ALL over twitter. 'Check your fucking privilege'. Fuck off.

While I might appear privileged now I certainly didn't come from it and these wankers wouldn't want my early life giftwrapped.

Before the trans thing, I had no idea how hated women are by a lot of people. Including some women, it seems.

It's a great way of shutting down a class of women who will probably have alot more time & resourses than average to devote to battling female oppression by casting them as uber priviledged oppressors.

Ooh I think you've nailed it. It's this, absolutely.

With the caveat that I'm white myself it really does bother me how much TRAs appropriate WOC in their batshit arguments.

The recent twitter furore about trans women being a subset of women exactly the same as black women was astounding. The implications of that are appalling.

They have taken the origins of intersectional feminism and bastardised it as a gotcha to make out penis exclusion is the same as racism.

Yeah I noticed Rose McGowan getting a lot of criticism for her 'cis white feminism'- some of it coming from the white TIM who recently abandoned his young daughters, Transscribe.

In a topsy turvy world where Bruce Jenner is more oppressed than a child bride in India (cis privilege don't ya know) it's hardly surprising.

It's a great way of shutting down a class of women who will probably have alot more time & resourses than average to devote to battling female oppression by casting them as uber priviledged oppressors.

Plus we all know that in the land of identity politics only those with the greatest amount of oppression points are to be listened to, even when they talk utter shite.

And yes Assigned one of the most sickening side effects of all this bs is just how much women as a class are hated. I'm middleaged, I've always been a feminist, I thought my eyes were open but up until I peak transed I realise I was asleep all along...

Same here. And it’s what informs my politics.

Yes, it seems that white women (or even all women) are now more hated than rich white men. Because we rape all the people and we do all the violence and we oppress all the minorities.

We are responsible for oppressing all. Especially, over privileged white men.

Or

Over priviledged white men have found a narrative they like and are pushing it s hard as they can to undermine women and women’s rights. Fuckers.
