But in the move from "hating these guys" to "hating all guys", the part where there's any substantial hatred at all directed at the Ted Cruz's of the world seems to dissipate into nothingness. He somehow sublimates off the chopping block.

It's a very interesting dynamic where if it's virtuous to hate ALL men, without exception, because they're all as bad as each other and any harm to any man is a victory against men as a group, then the cheapest/easiest way to do this is to hate the weakest, most vulnerable men

And hey, whaddya know, it turns out that you get a lot of success and momentum doing that The rich powerful men will even help you do it, mysteriously And it's easiest of all when the "men" you're attacking are trans women

I mean I don't want to say it's only about this one issue, although TERFism is very clearly the most virulent modern strain of what's called "white feminism" or "bourgeois feminism" You see it lots of places

It's what powers the white feminist/neocon convergence, when you see self-IDed feminists who are very self-righteous about hating men and wishing death on men IN OTHER COUNTRIES Treating it as a victory for womankind as a whole to bomb "backward patriarchal Muslims" in Iraq

So, in your argument that is all over the map, you're saying that feminists are the reason we've had wars in the middle east? As opposed to, say, the Military Industrial Complex?

No, but certain self-IDed feminists obviously contribute to it, and that makes them complicit

You really seem to have trouble with this idea that something can be "not your fault" but you can still be complicit for supporting it Probably because believing responsibility is black-and-white is very convenient for people with scummy associations

Riiiight. The Feminists are "complicit" because they oppose wars that leave women and their offspring vulnerable to more male violence. You know, I appreciate your comments here. You're really filling in that "conspiracy" vibe the post.

Baroness Nicholson, who was feted as a feminist icon by you and your friends just a few months ago, did the exact opposite of opposing the war

That's... not a conspiracy theory Look up her WIkipedia page or something Jesus Christ

This is the irony of you accusing me of believing in "monolithic groups", because a weird TERF subcultural tic is falling back on talking about "feminists" as one unified hivemind whenever criticized

Like if Sarah Ditum hit my car in the parking lot and I tried to make an issue of it you'd start yelling "Misogynist accuses feminists of damaging his car! Blames feminism for all the various dents and scrapes on his property! Is there nothing he won't lay at the feet of women?"
