Men just can't stand if women can do something they can't, and where they really can't cope is if a woman is actually better at something than them at an evolutionary level. You see it in conversations about the mother-baby dyad. Both parents are very important to a child, but it is undeniable that the mother is the most important to the baby when it is very young as there is such a physiological bond between them. But men can't stand when you say this as they think you're shitting on fathers or something, when all you're actually saying is in the same way that men will usually have physical strength to do certain things that women cannot due to biological reasons, women also have areas where they can do things that men can't for biological reasons. It's usually the men who claim they're feminists who get hot under the collar about this, and then on the other side you have men who think they shouldn't have to have anything to do with their baby as it's 'women's work' - neither of these responses are helpful! Both parents are important to the baby, but when it's young it really does need the mother more and will feel most at ease with the mother (usually) due to all the amazing biology of the mother-baby dyad that has evolved over thousands of years. The worst thing is men who think a women's whole purpose is to have sex with and birth children for men, but they still hate it if they have to admit that the mother is more important to the young baby - they can't stand if women are superior to them in any way.
The worst psychic and soma-destroying things that have happened to me happened because I was born Female. Rape, torture, disfigurement, dehumanization, enslavement... crushing grinding powerlessness... no male human being was ever born to this. They have no understanding of The Female existence. The fact that we are not mad with rage would be incomprehensible to any male person who was 'us' for a mere moment. The mockery is a litmus test to check our tolerance. They are right to fear us.

Me too sister. Me too. As much as it grinds my guts to admit even to myself that I was used as a slave and that these things have shaped my life.
I feel like those TIMs who have transitioned are batshit. To me, it's no different than a man cutting off one of his legs, so he can pretend to be a mermaid. Biology and chromosomes determine your sex, therefore xx=biological female and xy=biological male.
Cue the "not all women have uterus' or can have children" argument. You're still a man, Steve.
But NO women have penises. Hope that helps, Steve.
Exactly. Plus, if a girl is born without a uterus, that's a health issue that will present itself eventually. It's not like some girls are born without utes and it's a regular, healthy occurrence
Oh you are a delight, I'll use that! 🤣
I stole it from women much smarter than me, but fair use!!
This is honestly the worst argument ever and drives me absolutely batshit. Not all humans have two legs, either! You don't go around saying humans have a raaaange of legs. A spectrum of fingers.
And just because a human doesn't have two legs doesn't mean you'd call them non-human either.
A spectrum of fingers- new band name right there.
What kills me about that argument is that it's like...but they were supposed to have a uterus, or they were supposed to have functioning reproductive organs. Like, maybe something happened that caused a genetic defect that stopped those from developing or functioning how they'd be expected to, or maybe someone needed surgery to remove them, etc. But lacking a functional one is NOT the same as just straight up having a completely different body that was never meant to have female reproductive organs. Just because a woman happened to be born without one doesn't mean she suddenly has testes and XY chromosomes now, like what.
Yes I believe the technical definition is “someone built with the capacity to have female reproductive function” or something like that. Whether they have it or not doesn’t matter, what matters is that their body was designed and prepared to have it
If any females ever display ambiguous or atypical development in any of their female sex organs, then turning your penis inside-out makes you a woman.
