...and at worst outright bigots or even organised fascists). I see it all the time both irl and on line. They were galvanised in opposition to feminism some years back and then (in the US in particular), they were galvanised by the Black Lives Matter protests. They've moved on to trans people...
...group of mostly male posters made the environment here so vile you drive women, cis and trans, away. You think that’s a great victory for feminism?
I suspect it this kind of dishonesty that means women are much more likely to reject your arguments than men, and much more likely to support...
