I think I've finally realised what exactly my problem is with the whole anti-immigration of men from specific countries due to their misogynistic culture. And it's an issue that I've been having with white people who oppose immigration as a whole.
I have a few problems actually, and let it be known I really could give fewer fucks about these men; my discomfort lies in the fact this movement is harming women of colour.
1) You've recognised that men from countries where violent misogyny is normalised in their culture, but you refuse to help the women from these cultures fight against this violence. You use men of colour to generalise your hatred against men, and you do nothing to help the violence against women. Essentially, your misandry overpowers your love for women. You'll look at the harm being done to Muslim women in Middle Eastern countries, and you'll shout, "See what these violent men are doing! They're evil!" And completely blindside the victim women.
2) A lot of immigrants from certain parts of the world move to the West due to the fact that they have destabilised their countries. The working-class westerner will hear this and go, "But it isn't my fault this is happening; it's the government's," yet you're complicit in this destabilisation and do nothing about fighting against it. Resources are taken from these countries to create products that YOU consume. If you're so unhappy with all these immigrants bringing the violence from their countries, violence your country aided in creating, why aren't you fighting against your government, who are causing this harm? You don't want violence in your country, but you're happy to allow it to happen elsewhere at the hands of your higher-ups. It's not that you want to end violence against women; you want it to stop against the women who look like you and turn a blind eye to the women who don't.
3) You refuse to acknowledge that your Western men have been just as bad. You're so quick to forget the horror of colonialism that white men have done to women from other lands. When you see violence from men of colour against white women, you're quick to forget the horrible violence that your own men do to you. The only thing that changes men's actions from country to country is law. If they suddenly legalised rape today in a Western country, do you think the rates would remain the same due to how Western men were socialised? Even with the laws in place, there's a horrible amount of misogynistic violence and femicide against women in the West.
4) If you really cared about the violence immigrant men brought to the West, your arguments wouldn't so heavily centre on white European women. The violence immigrant men do to white women on the streets is already horrendous, so imagine how it is with the non-white women of their family in the home. Yet, you have no desire to talk about them.
5) If violence from men from certain countries being brought to your land was the issue, I assume you'll be quick to advocate against men immigrating as a whole? Men as a demographic have the opportunity to be violently misogynistic, no matter where they come from. You oppose more misogynistic men from entering your countries, yet I see you have no issue with a Polish white man coming into your country even if he were raised in a misogynistic culture, too. I wouldn't have any issue with this argument if white radfems were
Advocates against the destabilisation of foreign countries, which causes people to flee their countries and go to the West.
Vocal about the mistreatment of women of colour in foreign countries who are directly impacted by misogynistic culture. Both women who reside in their home countries and who are in the West.
You admit that all men are raised in misogynistic culture, and activism claims that damage control by not accepting men from specific demographics only helps to uphold the power white Western males have on you.
