Glad to see some pushback.

16. I don't know what era or flavor you are from -

but when I went off to college in the mid-70s, that was very much the mantra. If you are sleeping with men, you are our enemy.

At the time I wasn't sleeping with anyone - but that attitude kept me completely away from feminism (and was partly responsible for delaying my own self-realization about my own sexuality) for years. No way I wanted to have anything to do with people who would shut out half the world's population (and anyone sleeping with them) as enemies.

Michigan Women's Music Festival, at least in the early years, was very much the same - keeping trans women out with womyn-born-womyn gate requirements. My spouse and I got together there 30 years ago - and were saddened that the politics (including trans intolerance) made it a place we couldn't really celebrate after a few years.

At least the tolls who have been PPRd had some of that same flavor here recently (you may note a similarity between w-b-w and FAAB). I suspect that is where the comment is coming from.
