Eliza, I'm checking out. Maybe you don't care about one free subscriber, but I'm tired of your writing about "men" as if they are the enemy. They are not.

Eliza, I'm checking out. Maybe you don't care about one free subscriber, but I'm tired of your writing about "men" as if they are the enemy. They are not. Normal men (yes, they exist) are sickened by this. They are new to the issue and most of them react in disbelief. That is normal, too. But some of them are speaking out, and the reaction by feminists is to want to exclude them instead of recognizing them as allies.
Who are our enemies? Crazy, sick men are our enemy - and the women like Macy Gray, who flagellate themselves publicly for telling the truth, are our enemy. But you keep generalizing about "men" and I'm tired of that. I hope you can come to a place where you see that. Best to you.
She isn’t describing all men. I suppose she could have repeatedly put in that qualifier explicitly but that is not her obligation. Let the “normal” men themselves distinguish themselves. This is what women must do as well- distinguish ourselves from Macy Gray, etc.
I'm not describing all men, which I think is pretty clear, and I wouldn’t have any interest in describing all men in those terms. I'm talking about a subset of men identifying as women, who've shown the rest of us a lot about themselves by disregarding women's boundaries and who are trying to redefine women in line with the most degrading stereotypes.
My young adult son is one of these men, newly indoctrinated and medically transitioning. I see him as a misogynist and narcissist, but I also see him as a victim. Low self-esteem, lack of real-world connections, mental illness (anxiety, OCD, ADHD, maybe undiagnosed ASD), and inadequate parental supervision all played a role in his evolution. I'm sure he's been exposed to sissy porn, to hentai, and to the nonsensical gibberish of the TRA. At around age 12, he withdrew into himself. He became vicious, but also seemed terribly lonely, and his dad and I tiptoed around him for years, afraid of incurring his wrath or adding to his distress. My question is who benefits from this? Certainly big pharma. What other interests are behind the sissification push?
in your text, the following phrases use the word 'normal':
"Normal men" and
"... react in disbelief. That is normal, too" .
May I point out that it is normal for most normal men to have their first sexual experience via pornography - are you accepting of this normalcy?
"Normal: mid 17th century (in the sense ‘right-angled’): from Latin normalis, from norma ‘carpenter's square’ (see norm). Current senses date from the early 19th century."

You did make it clear.
Great piece.
Yeah, it seems like D.E. Murray and I fully agree on this... so, we'll see.

Can we try and avoid the N-word?
