Actually, the fact that you are male means you have exactly no place in a conversation about womens issues. You are not only wrong, but ignorant, and disgustingly lacking in compassion for the safety of actual women. You defend trans “women” because its just another way for men to force women to coddle males and put them before our own needs and its transparant as fuck.

Nikki, when your 'women's centre's' and 'safe spaces' or whatever you call them these days are funded by the government, ie, my wallet, I will have a say in 'women's issues', just as I will have a say in defence, immigration, trade union issues, etc.

@ Sasha, "Arising tide lifts all boats ...". Patently false.

"From 1978 to 2014, inflation-adjusted CEO compensation increased 997 percent, a rise almost double stock market growth and substantially greater than the painfully slow 10.9 percent growth in a typical worker’s annual compensation over the same period."

There's no word strong enough to express my contempt for TERFdom. It's every bit as irrational, dishonest, exclusive, and downright irritating as any other kind of extremism.

Women who participate in certain traditionally male careers (such as firefighting or being in the military) will have to cohabit - not merely work, but live - closely with their male colleagues in spaces traditionally reserved for men. Their colleagues then have to accept certain limitations on their own activities that might otherwise not have existed. Does that mean - to turn Germaine Greer on her head - that these women are tramping around in "manface"? ...that these women are coopting male spaces? ...that transmen go through hormone treatment and surgery merely to take advantage of male privilege?

Disgusting sexist.
The idea that men cannot contribute to discussions of gender relations is insane. Some men have experienced comparable - if not worse - bigotry. We have mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces, female friends, and of course our beloved girlfriends/wifes - while we may not affected directly by "women issues", we certainly are affected indirectly in that we care about the well-being and happiness of the women we care about (whereas the Amazons of the Hyena Clan only seem to care about the "sex-struggle", not about the actual humans unless it helps their agenda), as well as in the way these women interact with us. The interplay between the sexes is too intimate, and the discrimination - thankfully - subtle and small enough (at least compared to past centuries or the Third World), that to discuss it unilaterally is amoral and very probably counterproductive. And if you could live out your petty, sadistic revenge fantasies, it would most certainly concern men.

"You defend trans “women”"
What about transmen?

"because its (sic) just another way for men to force women to coddle males and put them before our own needs"
No need for that - the vast majority of women is heterosexual. If you want to deny love to the vast majority of humans of either gender, you are most despicable and an enemy of women, men, children, and Humanity as a whole.

"and its transparant"
Let me guess: Grammar and orthography are evil male misogynistic plots to oppress women?
And no, at least to this man, it is not obvious how people suffering from a severe disorder of the connection between body and mind being treated in the most ethical, not to mention only currently feasable, way is supposed to be an evil plot to drive women back into the kitchen. Which, by the way, would be against the desires of most men - and those men who actually want to do this (whether fundamentalists/traditionalists or neo-misogynists) usually hate transsexuals as much as you do.

Is Roosh Vile not looking for a wife? I think we have found the "woman" he deserves, and who might deserve him...

IEo- Men are often coddled and protected from having to take responsibility for their actions. Men aren't expected to control themselves enough to refrain from catcalling women, the actions of young adult male rapists are excused because "he's a kid" and "he just made a mistake", and violence/inappropriate behavior towards women is justified with "boys will be boys" at all age levels. Contrast that with young teenage girls who are the victims of sexual assault via coercion or manipulation who are vilified because "she came on to me", "she knew what she was doing", and "she was asking for it", as if a young teenager has the same capacity to consent as an adult woman.

Teaching boys to repress their emotions is a huge problem but it's not the same as treating them like adults or not coddling them. Nor is the fact girls and women are allowed to express feelings the same as coddling them, particularly as those emotions are often ignored, belittled, or patronized.
