    Well, that’s probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself. Sure, it was euphoric feeling seen in my gender identity when I faced misogyny for the first few times. But once I felt more at home in my gender identity, it wasn’t pleasant anymore.

    I actually know plenty of cis straight women who are repeatedly seeking out men that treat them awfully because they think they don’t deserve anything else. I would so far as to say that straight culture is based on misogyny.

      I’ve sorta experienced it long before I had any sort of egg cracking and it wasn’t even about the other person seeing me as a woman (so not misogyny) - I just felt that having such a experience made me better be able to relate to women and somehow for some reason that sorta compensated.

      Agreed that it probably falls off as you either become more self-confident or get more regular external affirmations that aren’t awful.

        Do you really need someone to explain to you the following??? That:

        1. Misogyny is bad
        2. Characterising trans women as liking misogyny plays into harmful stereotypes
        3. Announcing in mixed company that “no, actually, women do enjoy misogyny,” might encourage people to engage in misogyny

      Reminds me of something I read where someone taught someone something, transitioned, and later had that same person mansplain it back to them.

    Even long before my transition, I’ve been a feminist and but wholly believe in a matriarchal society. So, nope! Not in a million years. Fuck off with this male-dominated ego bullshit.

    … Edited for clarity!

        Why don’t you go look that definition up, then correlate it with today’s society and WHY feminism is needed more than ever.

          Genuine question; how do you reconcile matriarchy with gender equality? Wouldn’t that just take the problem we have now (patriarchy) and flip it instead of actually freeing us from gendered hierarchies?

            I don’t reconcile it. I misspoke (edited).

            I’d rather just live under a more matriarchal society. I believe such a society would eventually balance out to equality, but as it stands now, here in the US in 2026, we’re cooked.
