This is all getting too much.

I don't know if I can manage this any more. Like life wasn't hard enough already with the prospect of working until my mid seventies, having to fight to be paid my fair worth, never being able to buy a house, etc. I don't know what to do about all this hatred and erasure of women - I feel totally powerless and miserable at the thought that people who have no share of my life experience are seen as being no different from me, and totally qualified to speak for me.

Of course an MP whether male or female is never going to be able to perfectly understand all of their constituents - how could they? But from a women's officer, I expect a woman, and hopefully an older and wiser and tougher one than myself, because that's who I want fighting for me. Not some whinging teenager who feels free to threaten rape, but then cries "meanies!" when challenged.

And this is supposed to be a great leap forward in our tolerance - what an enlightened society we are! Where anyone can be anything! How hollow that claim rings when you really examine it. And the great and the good shut their eyes to scientific facts and tell us not to be hysterical.

I have been so depressed about this the past few days. I don't see that there is any hope.

Why? Why is it women percieve males to be so much better they are even better women than we are?

Sadly it's internalised misogyny from all these first class "feminists".

But this is also its greatest weakness. Because the MRA agenda is sexually abusive and violent and insatiable. It can never, ever be satisfied. It will eat itself eventually and we will all cheer.

Yes you're absolutely right. I agree a lot of short term pain first though.

Don't ever use their language if you can possibly avoid it. Don't say "gender neutral" say "unisex" or even better "mixed sex". Don't ever use "gender" when you mean sex, or "trans women".

It is the misogynist’ stroke of genius to simply become a woman. It is a very clever strategy to use the privilege and come right behind the liberals to erase women and gay people. There are people who have woken up tot this and more will in time. I have a dd so I have decided to take arms against a sea of troubles even if it means losing my career and some friends. I owe it to her as I am indebted to previous generations.
