except people absolutely do that to women as well

anytime anyone talks about abigail shapiro they mention her "mommy milkers", and one of the biggest criticisms of terfs you’ll see is "lol they all look like old hags"

like, these women are heinous, yet people still primarily use misogyny to attack them…

If I had to guess, I think the user you replied to would agree that your example is also morally wrong and strategically counterproductive. It seems like that was their point.

absolutely, and if that’s their point, i fully agree

my point is that you can’t really say "but what if people did this to women also?" because there is no if. people do that to women, all the time
