RantNo, it's not "toxic on both sides."

I'm glad someone else said it. So many people, especially men, try to claim that "both sides are toxic" in order to be "fair" or "nuanced."
Or simply because they can't resist making a dig at feminism. Conservatives have vilified feminists as baby eating witches for decades and they need some notion of that to cling to, rather than admit they've always been full of shit.
Liberals, who have always felt feminists were problemaaaatic for being against porn, prostitution, surrogacy, religion, transgenderism, misogyny from marginalized men, also want to believe that we are "just as bad."
But no, sorry. We are not the ones who nail dead rats to rape shelters. We are not the ones who physically attack the elderly. We don't bang cymbals in the faces of police horses. We don't try to block medical conferences, where honest professionals are taking a close look at scientific evidence. We don't set shit on fire. We don't flash our genitals at children in female-only spaces.
TRAs do all that crap.
Journalists know which side to be afraid of when it comes to discussion about trans ideology.
It's hard for me to have patience with people who claim that both sides are toxic. Feminists have been actually way more gracious than we should be, considering what TRAs have done to society. It's never gotten beyond well-deserved snark.
