We gotta distinguish between things that are devalued/considered lesser because they’re associated with women, and things that are associated with women because they’re actually degrading. For example sewing is a hugely useful skill that is undervalued because over centuries it has come to be associated with women, whereas things like tight dresses and high heels are designated as things for women because they are actually degrading.

Or porn, sexual use, sexual abuse

That feeling when someone tells you misandrists are awful, they aren’t even human, and then proceeds to immediately call you a cunt.

It’s… it’s almost as if you’re proving my point. That our society believes hurting men’s feelings is more important and worthy than the safety of women.

if you think a woman “not being nice enough to a man” is a punisheable crime don’t talk to any women, ever.

men are banned from saying “daddy issues” especially about women they disagree with or find volatile, it just shows they’re fucking sociopaths and that young girls going through neglect, abuse and predatory behavior is a laugh for them + just another reason to undermine and question women’s credibility in conversations

It’s a cop out as well as a sloppy power move that they pull out in conversations they have no stake in. women discussing exclusively women’s issues is felt as a displacement of their power. they resort to making us unstable, unreliable narrators. in the absence of any argument with a leg to stand on, that is how they can still win and look like the rational party. and they have shown over and over that they won’t hesitate to stoop low and cite our personal pain as the reason for dismissing our perspectives. even and especially in conversations about misogyny where those experiences and traumas ironically give us the Most credibility as firsthand victims of the problem.

ditto for “who hurt you” “you’re saying that because you’re damaged/hysterical” “did you not get enough love as a child” etc
