That article is EXTREMELY well written and lays bare all of the connections I've always known to be true.

Male pattern abuse, porn, misogyny and DARVO, all right there at the heart of the TRA movement.
All being socially accepted. Encouraged even. By all political parties, corporations and education institutions.

'The domestic abuser will physically isolate his victim through getting her to cut ties with friends and family, controlling who she speaks to, controlling when and why she leaves the home, and often moving her to a different location.

Online, this is what is happening with, for example, the periodic attempts by men to shutdown Mumsnet. Controlling men hate that there is a space where women can talk to each other and offer support to each other. Nothing poses a more direct threat to their control and manipulation than women speaking to each other. The sisterly support can clear the fog of male abuse so that the woman recognise it for what it is.'

An excellent article, thanks for sharing.

Mr Always Right and Mr Sensitive are absolutely classic online TRA behaviour. If an actual male ally joins in the discussion, I've noticed they immediately pivot to accusing said man of "white knighting" and just being after "clunge" (or some other gross term)

This is very telling - firstly it shows that they don't genuinely believe any man could care about women's rights, they must have a nefarious ulterior motive; secondly it is classic DARVO - they accuse those men of precisely what they are about.
