To clarify, the pictured poster Caroline Kwan is an ally, not a TERF. The TERFs referred to in the title are the ones ‘protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is’

And your second sentence proves you didn’t actually read my post:
What I said:
What you responded:
Plus, I specifically said I had no idea what to call the men’s league now and you didn’t tell me.
Let me know when you actually read my comment and respond to what I actually said and not what you pretended I said. No wonder you decide people are misogynists when you don’t properly read their comments.
Your first sentence called me angry.
You call them the men’s NBA. That’s pretty clear as we both have referenced it as such.
Wow, it wasn’t accidental misogyny then, huh? Like had you known, you would’ve just done it the same anyway. That’s why you lack remorse and are trying to make this combative and paint me in a negative light - it’s not about women’s rights, it’s about your ego and looking like you’re so smart on these issues you’re above criticism. Cool. I’m sorry I said you were doing it on accident? Like go back and read the comment chain - you’re way out of line here if you actually care about women.
You show me a major sport news source that calls them “the men’s NBA.”
Because I can’t find one.
This is sounding like you’re just making something up in order to call someone a misogynist.
Well, the thing is, find me an article proposing a player move from one division to the other as you were doing, first.
You said Britney should join the NBA. She’s already in the NBA. See how stupid that sounds?
You’re doing a good job calling yourself out as a misogynist at this point.
No. I don’t see how stupid it sounds since everyone, except maybe you, knew what I was talking about. The men’s division is simply called the NBA everywhere I look. I can’t help that it’s both the entire league’s name and just the name of the men’s league as well.
Basically you’re criticizing me for not using a term that no one, save maybe you, uses.
Yes, everyone chose to read between the lines and accept your sexism. That the world is misogynistic is known, hence the need for Feminism. At least you’re admitting you’re sexist - status quo sexism is okay in your eyes. Which is exactly what I’m criticizing in a thread about Feminism- your sexism and sexism in sports overall (again the thread topic). Not the appearance of it, not your image, but the actual sexism prevalent in sports and with individuals such as you. I
Again, that is the name of the men’s league. That is not my fault, it’s theirs. It’s not anti-feminism to use the proper names of things even if those names are sexist.
Yes, it is. That’s why we changed verbiage like fireman to firefighter. Because it’s sexist. And it was sexist BEFORE people were asked to change the verbiage. That’s how systemic sexism works - it’s all sexist and you must be the radical change demanding progress. That you want to be a status quo limp dick is on you.
Again- that is the name of the league. That is not my fault.
It’s also not my fault that the women’s league of the PGA is the LPGA and the men’s league is the PGA.
And by your logic, every single person, male or female, who calls the men’s league of the NBA “the NBA” is a sexist.
Incidentally, this includes Brittney Griner.
