I am racking my brain on why gender ideology has become so powerful in such a short time, given the immense damage it does to women, children, homosexuals. I think the main issue is this
1. Men do not listen to women and do not care about their inner lives.

So many men gush out about how they love their mums. If they knew how many times their mum was sexually harassed, maybe even raped, they may think twice before letting men in female spaces.

They declare proudly they are fathers of daughters. But they do not understand the inner life of an adolescent girl. Otherwise they would not want to subject her to the shame of sharing her intimate spaces with boys (and they know how boys are).

They say they love their wife or partner but they do not really understand how their wives' lives are different from their own, shaped by the need to carve out a space in a world made for men.

They say they respect women, but they do nothing to stop all the violations to women's dignity, to their bodies, to their minds. They cherish their daughters and they watch porn with women the age of their daughters.

We are not fully human for them. Men are. And anything men want, men get. So if a man wants to be a woman, why not? No skin off their nose, and in any case, they really do not like the idea that TW are men. Because that would mean they are like them.
