They aren't erasing women physically, obviously, but they are severing the connection between women and their female biology.
Which wouldn't be of quite so much concern, if we weren't oppressed on the basis of that biology.
And the latest incarnation of that is banning abortion. Again, it's about female biology.
If you can't align oppression and sexism to the sex at whom it's directed, you can't address it.
Women are oppressed. Sometimes it's through the control of like marriage or making them reliant on men, sometimes it's through denying them bodily autonomy, sometimes it's through selling and buying their bodies.
Men who identify as women want the concept of women to be superficial. Hair, make up, pronouns. So they can claim it.
Therefore women and female biology must be decoupled. Hence women being known by individual body parts, depending on the context, and not a collective term.
it's not always obvious how decoupling women from their biology can be detrimental.
But it's women who are being denied an abortion. People know full well that it's not random. It's not a 'people' thing. You don't see any suggestions for men having compulsory vasectomies, do you? And it only being reversed when society at large seems it appropriate. Or their girlfriends and partners say it's ok. It's unthinkable.
Men aren't being disadvantaged in order to stop pregnancies. Even mildly. They're not even included in the equation.
It's not a people thing. It's a woman thing.
And such is the rage over the overturning of Roe v Wade, that removing the means to describe the very cohort who is affected is really hitting home how this ideology affects women.
