On Jungian grounds, I often listen to people (including myself) and their "you" statements, and substitute every "you" with "I." It's extraordinarily illuminating. And in this case, it makes me very sad for this this guy.
That man is the reason so many of us push back against this horrendous ideology. The absolute hatred in his eyes, the entitlement and the aggression as he mansplains where we all went wrong.
I always love this insistence on: “well, if you knew better, you would CHANGE YOUR MIND, and become unquestioningly INCLUSIVE OF US!” When it’s actually like: dude, I ALREADY heavily changed my mind, in the OPPOSITE direction!! And decided to give my empathy to my fellow women, and my fellow sisters, instead of manipulative, exploitative, lying male troons such as YOU!! Which, I don’t think I’ve actually become any more, or less, empathetic, as a whole. I just extent my empathy and priorities in a different direction! Plus there is also one other difference, which is that I’m AWARE of it, and I do in fact KNOW about my refusal to prioritize male troons and their feelings over women’s dignity, boundaries, and safety. Whereas back when I was on the other side, I did not REALIZE that I was in fact prioritizing these men and their feelings to the point of NOT supporting women’s rights, and empathizing with women who want spaces free of men. Because I was young and naive, and no one had told me that there was a conflict. But ultimately, you have to make a choice, as to what group you care most about. And my choice is, I love and care about women and girls, FAR more than I care about these entitled, lying pieces of crap. And yeah… Good luck on getting me to change my mind on that, and deciding to knowingly betray women, by channeling all my empathy only towards YOU lot of exploitative men, again. I could do it precisely because I did not understand what I was doing! But now that I know the true cost of, and consequences of, choosing them over my fellow sisters, and that it is indeed an either / or type of choice? No. Even if I REALLY, really wanted to be as “nice” as possible, and I still felt sorry for men pretending to be us, I still couldn’t do it. Again, because I know the steep COST of it! Whereas ignorant past me thought I could do it at no cost, whatsoever. Which was a LIE, that I have since seen through.
Funny how they never realize this, and they think it’s as simple as: “if you were just NICER”!! Which, no. Or maybe they realize it, and they don’t care, because they know lots of naive young women will still fall for their emotional manipulation.

SOOOO good. Why can’t I find this language when I need it?
Right on, Amy!!
Interesting to see an attempted take over of feminism by those that live in fear of genitals. Sure reads a lot like the patriarchy wearing a cute hat.
Righbutt on. Exceptionless defining of terms.
