I am so tired, as I'm sure many women are, of being told to show sympathy for men who claim our identities and pontificate about what we are. Women are forced to take on the male perspective all our lives, chided and shamed into being "nice" and sympathetic to men.
We are told that if we don't "expand the definition of woman" to include men and coddle their sexist fantasies about our lives, that we are mean; worse than that, we are compared to Nazis.
It's mental abuse to tell women to respect and validate the delusions of men who use gender essentialism to redefine us according to their objectified fantasies of what women are. We are not defined by feminine stereotypes; women are human.
Gender ideology tells women that men are, actually, the most oppressed women. Gender ideology derails women from centering ourselves and our own unique struggles by appealing to our emotions, in favor of men, and to the effect of quieting our anger at our oppression.
Genderists push women to be "mean" by their standard. They define women as "mean" or "bigoted" by taking on a perspective that focuses on women. It reveals what some men really think of us: that we exist to validate and support men.
Deference is a skill, one women are groomed into, and one which men rarely practice. To my thinking it's no accident that as women speak up about our global situation, genderist men and the women they've deceived prefer to force women to defer to men about our own existence.
Confronted with the obsolescence of patriarchy, postmodern genderists have taken to pantomiming the feminine to redirect women back to deference and obedience.
As women globally say, "Women's rights are human rights," men arrive to alter our language to put us back in our place.
They (gender ideologues) steal feminist thinking to forcefully insert themselves into our narrative and halt our disobedience.
