I’ve seen some truly toxic female tictokers where every second video is about how men are the worst and we don’t need them for anything and I was wondering how someone gets to that point.
Yeah - usually it is motivated by trauma. There’s a few that just get radicalized online, but when you do consider how it’s 1 in 4, or 1 in 3… it does make sense.
A lot of TERFism is this frustrated sense of disempowerment, and they seek power by placing themselves in the hierarchy above trans women. Real radical feminism - like not Mary Daly and Janice Raymond’s delusions but Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon, rejects this idea that the Y chromosome or “maleness” is inherently evil while recognizing the systems of oppression patriarchy makes us navigate.
Is that really common among terfs?

Often by an instance or history of abuse and lacking the tools to cope in a healthy manner, so they protect themselves in hate.
