This is true. A large contingent of Twitter TERFs came to my rescue when the Twitter transmafia came after me. I needed and appreciated their support. But I did not--could not--join forces with them, and when they asked me why, I told them. I don't hate men. I had long private conversations with a couple of them, who insisted they didn't hate men, but they did. This was proven anytime I insisted that my mother was equally responsible for my childhood abuse as my father. I don't have to tell *you* what they said. The script was, and is, predictable.

Ah, Josh! You could finish sentences for me. Radical feminism is, in my opinion, Wokegenesisâ„¢, the first instance of an activated cultural Marxist philosophy. If Marxism is "abolition of property", then RF is "abolition of patriarchy". And there's no such thing as patriarchy.

I had a close female friend, and we bonded even more when we realized both of us hated wokeness. But, sadly, I came to realize that she'd never, ever abandon feminism, and that her "feminism" was just sublimated anger towards her father (Yikes! Scary! And I won't say "daddy issues", but… daddy issues). At the end of the day, she couldn't let go. Victimhood was just too important to her core identity – angry, bitter, and contemptuous of men, including yours truly.

Very sad.
