But they're mocking women!

So what?

My last post on feminists complaining about “womanface” (drawing a parallel to blackface) drew some disagreement, and some misunderstanding (some of which is surely my responsibility, but not all of it).

Here’s the deal:

1. There are real problems with transgender ideology.

2. The worst of these problems, in my view, are the medical and psychological abuse of children.

3. An additional problem is the incursion into women’s locker rooms and private spaces. Men, in many contexts, now have carte blanche to creep up on women in bathrooms.

Because society has decided to pretend men can be women, women no longer have access to the social signaling systems necessary to say, “I feel endangered and I need help.” Women who have every right to be nervous, afraid, and angry about a man in their change room are now culturally silenced.

It’s a perverse outrage.

All of these things, and more, are real problems with transgenderism.

I have spoken about them repeatedly on Disaffected. When doing so, I have explicitly advocated for women’s rights to privacy, I have explicitly acknowledged the actual sexual and physical danger to women, and I have candidly called this the abusive behavior that it is.

Now, after having read that, there can be no room to ‘misunderstand’.

Here’s what I don’t care about:

”They’re mocking women.”

I’m going to switch tones and react to this in the way I think it deserves:

Suck it up, princess. I don’t care. People get mocked all the time.

That is a 16 year old girl’s complaint, and that is the seriousness with which I will treat it.

Mock them back. Humiliate them. Make them cry and delete their Twitter accounts. They are ridiculous and they deserve women’s laughing scorn. I’ll join you!

What I won’t do is take women seriously while they’re crying over “women being mocked.”

One of the problems of modern feminism (and, I’m sorry to say, among modern women as a class, even many non-feminists) is self-infantilization.

Being a fully grown woman and emoting about “having my womanhood mocked” should embarrass.

I’m certainly not going to take it seriously.
