Also, and I know this might be a far too general thing to apply to all men, when we are talking about a specific group of douches (though it's probably a widely shared philosophy in the Land of the Living Douche), but I find myself caring less and less about what dudes want respected on their bodies when it is clear that respect for what I want to do with my own body, as a woman, is steadily and ENTHUSIASTICALLY eroded legislatively.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did point out to him that, modestly, I've kicked a bunch of dudes in the nuts, and it really didn't have any far reaching effects except for the everything's on fire right now in mindblowing pain.
Which I dig--we all like to avoid pain from time to time, especially pain that's short-circuiting you, as opposed just sending noisy signals to your brain. The pain is a lot more than feet-meet-nut.
But the seat of your persona isn't actually between your legs...
Or is it? Hec, you'd tell us if that were true, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
On a semi-related note, and also thanks to reading other things on the internet, am I OK to roll my eyes just a little at people who are angry when people use language that implies (e.g.) that the group of people with penises is the same as the group of men?
I realize the groups are not 100% congruent, but seriously? We can't talk about women's reproductive rights anymore?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yep.
Awesome. I would have been so tempted to yell "MR. BEEBE! MATCHES!!" at him.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
but I find myself caring less and less about what dudes want respected on their bodies when it is clear that respect for what I want to do with my own body, as a woman, is steadily and ENTHUSIASTICALLY eroded legislatively.
Exactly this. Dudes, we get that your man-parts are sacred to you. Our woman-parts are equally sacred to us. Therefore comprehend that endangering my woman-parts gives me reason to endanger your man-parts.

I'm pretty sure I'd be okay with kicking rapists in the nuts even if reproductive health wasn't under legislative attack.
