I have zero sympathy for men of colour facing any kind of oppression because of their skin colour. I have zero sympathy for muslim or Arab men facing oppression because of their religion or ethnicity. I have zero sympathy for gay men who are oppressed because of their sexuality. I have zero sympathy for disabled men who face discrimination because of ableism. So just know that when i speak against homophobia, racism or ableism, i exclude these men from my activism. I don’t care if they’re victims so don’t ever expect me to stand with them they can die as well.

This is the worst possible way of saying “misogyny-based oppression is the only form of oppression which matters.” Which is not a great thing to be saying to begin with.
It’s one thing to focus on what matters to you most. It’s quite another to be vitriolically condescending to everyone who falls outside that scope.

I hate it that as a Pakistani woman i can’t even follow Pakistani female celebs as to not ruin my peaceful state of mind
If not for neurosurgeons & consultants in Britain’s NHS - created by a past Labour PM - who just happen to be men, the male Taliban in your country would have succeeded in their worse than raping of Malala Yousafzai. But the fact they made sure the Taliban ultimately fail meant that she not only survived but got what she always wanted: an education. She’s now doing well at university in my country. Fact: there were men in Islamabad who marched with placards praising what Britain did to help Ms. Yousafzai. In another country another woman - an Asian-African American - is about to reach the absolute pinnacle of human ambition: President of the United States. And despite the attempts by a so-called ‘man’ that is as misogynistic as they come, so many men will vote to ensure she reaches that pinnacle. Meanwhile, an Asian-Canadian woman is doing well despite what was done to her via a toxic environment - including other women acting against her - festered by a far Eastern Man: Riku. Fortunately because of so many men, she’s now made that toxicity - almost resulting in her own death - a distant memory and her contagious laughter make so many feel Schadenfreude against the vile Nijisanji and helped her become a force to be reckoned with in the streaming community. Who? Dokibird. And nobody has helped her more than her manager: known as ‘Mr. Man’.
The fact there are so many men helping women achieve so much - from a woman getting what is her basic human right: an education, to another becoming Leader of the Free World - will hopefully destroy your so-called ‘mind’.
What messrs. Malala, Kamala and Dokibird have and will become ensures that - in Soviet Reality - it’s not only the latter who flips the bird at you.
I certainly do.
I wonder how she would react if a black man said “I have zero sympathy for women of colour facing any kind of oppression because of their sex. I have zero sympathy for muslim or Arab women facing oppression because of their religion or ethnicity. I have zero sympathy for lesbians who are oppressed because of their sexuality. I have zero sympathy for disabled women who face discrimination because of ableism. So just know that when i speak against homophobia, racism or ableism, i exclude these women from my activism. I don’t care if they’re victims so don’t ever expect me to stand with them they can die as well.”
