There's multiple people "behind" the TERFs, as with any group, and the whole thing about the "behind" metaphor is that the people in front often aren't really aware what the people behind them are doing or what their agenda is

In the case of smol trying to point out a contradiction here - The lady who wanted to abort all XY fetuses was not "behind" anything, she was "in front"

I do not believe in any secret cabal of TERFs who have a "real agenda" of killing all men and if someone tried to tell me there were I'd tell them to shut the fuck up and stop being stupid

I am very resistant to and pissed off by TERFs trying to make the "TRAs are just a kind of MRA" shit happen But this is why I push back on people who specifically try dunk on TERFs as "man-hating" It's a bad habit

Sometimes the post being dunked on is wildly unhinged and it's hard to resist but it gives people like smol ammo for threads exactly like this one It attacks exactly the wrong thing and it directly feeds the narrative TERFs want, it's the fight they want to have

I'm a man and I don't think killing all men is a great thing to be fantasizing about all the time but *this is the argument they want to have*, they want to put you in the position of being the Apologist for Men so everyone traumatized and harmed by men sees them as their ally

The important thing to point out is that man-hating fantasies are unrealistic and go nowhere, that their own leadership very much knows this, and that they are selling this narrative to people to exploit them for an agenda that very much DOES empower men

Sometimes it's not even subtle, like how tons of Scottish TERFs in politics are just Alex Salmond loyalists who seized on this issue as just a convenient way to attack Nicola Sturgeon

Hence this bizarre spectacle of politicos in Scotland suddenly claiming loyalty to the tenets of radical feminism who, five minutes ago, were angrily defending their guy against "trumped-up" sexual misconduct allegations

So performative man-hating is annoying and silly sometimes but it's not the thing to fight It's going to crumple up and vanish like the morning dew the instant the situation involves a man with any power By "men" they really mean "trans women" and ONLY "trans women"

(Or, when they get emboldened, men who are vulnerable or marginalized in some way -- men who are Muslim immigrants, men who are gay and seeking to have kids, etc. But trans women make the most reliable targets)
