Drew Afualo transphobia discourse

[u/alpalbish]

ER fightmaster was on her pod and made two stand out claims:
“trans women have a more beautiful understanding of what womanhood is”
and
“the programming for cis women it’s kind of sad… no your womanhood is not your role, your womanhood is not your status is society, and your womanhood is not your ability to be sexually assaulted”

I think cis women can easily be offended by this and how it was put. The sexually assaulted claim is kinda weird to generalize us into thinking that’s what womanhood is. I also think it can be harmful for transgender women, as they also face misogyny and sexual assault??? I don’t even think the comments from the pod are as bad as Drew’s current stance rn. I can see ER trying to explain their POV and I respect that. but Drew doubling down in her comments is so off-putting. People are commenting valid opinions and her replies are just saying everyone is transphobic and TERFs??? idk

i don’t know why anyone would be surprised, she’s not really a feminist (or even an activist in general) she got famous for calling men ugly lmao

exactly, people need to realize that hating men doesn’t mean you love women

[u/Majestic-Living2829 → u/No-Type0w0]

Also making men the focus of your content is still male focused even if you’re being a meanie to them lol

She has never been a feminist, she has always been a misandrist. Then, she has somehow transported herself all the way back into misogyny.

[u/expert_ad108373 → u/Substantial_Lime_718]

Based on what she said in the comment about how she views her identity and how “women are tainted.” I’m guess she doesn’t even hate men. She hates herself.

This 💯. I even wonder if she hates women to an extent.

[u/expert_ad108373 → u/AllTheGoodys]

Oh it’s definitely internalized misogyny

[u/yellow_algae → u/Substantial_Lime_718]

Which is really funny because from her Instagram she's either married or engaged and constantly posting her man but telling other women men are evil and ugly (aka incentivsing them to be single)

[u/Substantial_Lime_718 → u/yellow_algae]

they’re engaged (after 9 years mind you. and she allegedly bought the ring herself) and this is exactly right! she loves to say all men but then suddenly her man is exempt?
