When is violence against women acceptable? If it is done for the “right reason”? If the women in question have “brought it upon themselves”? When women speaking have to be shut down by any means necessary?
Apparently so. If you dub women organising and campaigning for their rights “fascist,” then anything goes.
Online there are the direct threats made by so-called trans activists about raping and killing TERFs. We have all seen that, and those threats are vaguely but not actually condemned. The socialist bros happily egg it on by describing any woman who questions gender ideology as akin to a Nazi. The Braggs and Joneses are the hypemen for those who, fuelled by “righteous” misogyny, will mask up and scream in the faces of women.
And worse. Much worse.
