To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

    Why does that matter?

    Women are not being misogynistic when they call the men’s team “The NBA” but men are? How does that even work?

      Because of the patriarchy. That’s why Feminism exists. When a woman within a patriarchy uses misogynistic terms, she’s a victim. When a man does it, he’s a perpetrator. That’s also why women were legally forgiven for reactive violence but men were punished for using the same methods and it was not considered reactive.

      That was in the 80s. Spousal rape was legal in many states then. How is this news to you? How uneducated are you?

        Sorry… because spousal rape was legal in the 1980s in many states, Brittney Griner is a victim when she calls the men’s team “The NBA” in her book?

        You are making absolutely no sense.

            No, I really can’t. I have no idea what any of that has to do with her calling the name of the men’s team by the actual name of the men’s team.

            You must think she’s pretty stupid.

              Well, then we’re done here if you can’t understand me and I can’t make my meaning any simpler.

              You’ve already stated you don’t understand my message, so stop suggesting what I think. You don’t know, you’ve already said.

              No, I don’t think she’s stupid. That’s a “you” thing.

              Do you like being abusive to women? Why else would you make up a strawman like that?

                Sorry, you think she’s oppressed when she calls the men’s team by its actual name because marital rape was legal before she was born. You’re just implying she’s stupid by not knowing what name to call the men’s team. My mistake.
