literally how ridiculous their 'definitions' of womanhood are
"female" and "male" become as meaningless as "floopdiloop" without a real definition. we need these terms to mean something because they denote oppressed and oppressor classes along the axis of sexism. the immutable traits these words describe are the traits for which women (by which I mean female humans) have been oppressed worldwide for all of human history. if "woman" means nothing, we have no language to describe ourselves as a marginalised group fighting for our rights and safety. the only reason you think it's harmless for a man to identify as a woman is because you don't truly believe women are oppressed. no one would have to explain to you why a white person can't identify as a black person and then say they're the most oppressed type of black person because no one actually sees them as black and because they're not getting access to resources specifically reserved for black people. the fact that a man can perform femininity and y'all will jump to say that makes him just as– if not more– oppressed for being a woman as the women who are groomed on the basis of their female sex from the second they're born, as the women in menstrual huts, as the women attacked with acid, as the women forced to carry their rapists' babies to term, as the women denied jobs on the assumption they'll later leave to be homemakers or on the assumption that they're unqualified because they're female, as the women groomed into being housewives for men much older than them specifically because of their perceived female fertility.... I could go on forever because that's how fucking infinite the list of sex-specific issues ""AFAB""s face on the basis of being ""AFAB"". there is a millennia-old history of misogyny and it is demonstrably (and obviously!!) sex-based. What trait are women oppressed for if not their sex? with your airy bullshit non-definition of womanhood, how do the oppressor class (men) even tell whom to oppress? if "woman" is so internally self defined and meaningless, how did they know whom to deny the vote? who couldn't open a bank account? whom to forcibly impregnate? whom to marry off with a dowry? this so-open-minded-your-brain-falls-out lack of critical thought from libfem "activism" makes it seem like people are oppressed for wanting to perform femininity as though femininity itself isn't something which is artificially superimposed through intense socialisation of most "AFAB"s from birth. women weren't denied the vote because they were the ones in skirts, they were denied the vote and restricted to skirts because they were female. "a woman is anyone who identified as a woman is a woman is a woman is a woman" is tautological empty nothingness on par with the meaningless "floopdiloop"; it is not progressive and it is actively hindering feminism's progress.
