This thread. I think it's incredibly important to remember that the TERF fragility/rabidity started to take off right around the height of me too, and the main message they had was "men are inherently violent."
They targeted trans WOMEN, while at the same time excusing actual violence from cis men.

MeToo was intentionally co-opted by the type of 'feminist' that berates and abuses people for not conforming to gender, while insisting that a uterus makes a woman...

I actually do think it may be important to explain to men that there is a difference between their attractions/desires and their actions. You can have all kinds of fucked up stuff in your head and it does no one any harm. The second you act in a way that crosses someone's boundaries you're shit.
