We need classes in basic civics, political theory, and the history of civil rights movements again.
There is so much ignorance behind the equity rights push.
And a real delight from so many men that women are being 'punished' for the 'overreach' of feminism.
They believe women's spaces, sports and resources constitute 'overreach' and have placed themselves firmly on the side of anti science gender and trans just to enjoy seeing women suffer for it.
There are so many layers to understanding what our species has screwed up living with itself, let alone the rest of the planet, thanks to what I've started calling "The Trick" ~ our ways of practicing symbolism. As in, how we took our tool making and sound making and turned it into magical words that can mean things that do not and never will EXIST, but we can still conceive them with out animal brains, and feel real emotions about them no less!
And to your points today....crikey we screwed our animal sexuality up big time when we created "city states". Or as a professor I had in college put it (roughly) what happened in Sumer @ 6000 years ago was so disruptive we might as well have had a species change....except it was all part of the Trick's capacity to overrun the chemical factories in our bodies, and next thing you know we're believing Men are Superior to Women and...etc.
My three favorite fall back books on all the subjects at hand, at least the ones I've read more than once in the last 40 years...Marilyn French's "Beyond Power", Gerda Lerner's "The Creation of Patriarchy", and a leap back in time to Matilda Gage's "Woman, Church and State".
You are not alone in believing a woman is born a woman. And a man who has his willy whacked off, and is pumped full of chemicals the pharmacy cos. are delighted to get paid to make, is still a man with his willy whacked off...whose brain has with the greatest of ease (it's what The Trick can do), turned pop-culture posing as science into a firm belief that he is now a woman, and we must never say otherwise, or we are denying his SELFHOODEDNESS (something beyond being an individual organism, and much more of the magic we practice thanks to The Trick!).
Oh...and one last quick note...my theory on where The Trick got its magic...meaning, when it was turned into something more than the sweet sounds of warning and morning and hello and later that any decent orangutan can exchange with another, and became magical conceptions of matter and the world, that took to flight and allowed us to not only see ourselves soar over head with wings, but by describing it with words, we can see it on our skulls when we close our eyes. Well, obviously, start doing that and a few blinks of an eye later, woosh~you're doing differential and integral calculus.
AND....where did The Trick get developed, c'mon, Mr. Man, tell us all which ancient hominids you think sat down and banged these ideas out with their oh -o special brains?
My theory: The magical moments of symbolic metaphors taking our words and sounds and filling them with more meanings than anyone thought possible...this was accomplished where all wonders of language begin...between mothers and babies surrounded by mothers and babies and grandmothers and alloparenting aunts and sisters and babies (and maybe the occasional stray decent chaps who might be hanging around and helping out)...but mostly between a Mom and the baby always in her arms, and between a Mom and a child who is walking but still on the teat when meal time comes around. Meaning...women engaged with babies created the very big brains we claim were given us by some god guy. Why do I think this way? Well, when do we stop being able to learn multiple languages with complete ease? That's why. Seems a no-brainer theory to me.
That said...it's possible some of those big brain builders were Neanderthal women. Quite frankly, calling those men your discussing Neanderthals is an insult...to Neanderthals.
But what do I know about any of this, really, I'm just a tired Olde Farte of 65 years, wishing we'd get our "stuff" together, and do all we can to halt and reverse the ecological overshoot we have set off by our aggressive abuse of the Earth's resources in the last 200 years.
Keep up the good work...and my apologies for this classic male brain run on and on and on typing disease thing...but it beats obsessing over guns and money.
Feminism that centers males, including autogynephilic males wearing dresses and makeup and calling themselves Susie or Marilyn or any other female name isn't feminism.
Feminism is for the liberation and protection of females in a male-dominated society.
Liberal "feminism" keeps men centered and women objectified.
Arguments for the liberal tradition are based on the idea that different movements are at least acting in a good faith for the group they are acting for (ie feminism for women, lbg for gay people) but it is demonstrably false now (except for the GC, RadFems, LGB Alliance & co fightback). The woke movement is strongly tied to deconstructing & "queering" so assuming good faith is is to give them unjustified latitude.
Liberalism has also been a set of values centred on the individual, whereas the "equity" weasel move completely shifts the concept of egalitarianism to the group, even across epochs where people today are deemed morally indebted for long ago extinguished social norms. Moral worth was established as the consequence of one's conduct but now woke value system makes worthy conduct an irrelevance since it judges you on your identity rather than works.
They are trying to sabotage the liberal society (which gave them the luxury of tolerating their own formation!) so I don't believe they are entitled to lib-style tolerance - they must be actively fought. Civics classes won't do, apologies to JI.

As you say, Neanderthals.

I’m not defending what you are calling “liberal feminism” that is an American government grown ideology that is tyranny I am referring to.
