Radical feminists:

-a TRA

Males truly cannot conceive of the idea of simply respecting the space and boundaries of women. It literally doesn't cross their minds, so their minds immediately jump to whether or not women can forcibly stop them. The belief is that if a woman cannot forcibly prevent it, you may take anything you like from her with impunity.

Putting aside the "being a guy and ovulating" "being a guy afraid of being pregnant"—

They don't want to be told to leave when and if they can, and they don't want advice, they want your affirmation and blind support, do NOT give it to them.

They're liabilities and they WILL bring you down with them, because a woman who denies herself basic (self) respect and self preservation so that she may continue being in proximity to males (her oppressors) has NO threshold.

we literally do not believe assigned sex determines interests and personality

whilst believing that male people are inherently oppressive and dominating is something many radfems engage in, it is but one potential conclusion one could come to from observing the consistency of male violence across populations, throughout history, and accross species. however there are many radfems, myself included, who recognise the deep power of socialisation - in fact, if these people had engaged with any of feminism they would know that the vast, vast majority of feminist literature is literally dedicated to dissecting the very human motivations men have to dominate. feminism has its roots in leftist class analysis, so we have no interest in mincing our words - when we say 'men are violent', we are not necessarily describing some biological essence of men any more than poor people say that 'rich people are greedy'. that's literally it. shock horror, one's personality is deeply affected by one's environment and upbringing. it just so happens that unlike rich people and other such oppressors, there are real unavoidable physical realities that will impact men's relationship with the world. if you develop a penis, and the world around you says that as a penis-owner you can rape and impregnate a woman and get away with it, that's a specific experience that will impact your personality.
