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’

Sure, that is a sexist use of the term even when women use it. This is Feminism 101. Eg “Just Pearly Things” espouses anti-feminist rhetoric despite being a woman herself.
Again, the greater criticism is systemic sexism in sports including the Olympics and NBA. If you are opposed to this (obviously you aren’t), then you would emphasize gender equity in terminology regarding the NBA.
Whether others do it too, fails to disprove my criticism because that IS my point - pervasive sexism in sports. Including with you as an individual.
Your ego isn’t relevant here. Like who cares about if yet another random person on a forum is a boring misogynist who can understand even basic Feminist theory? That’s like all of you. That’s expected. My point is to be someone who disrupts that. That you are part of the status quo is fine and expected. Keep holding onto calling it the NBA and pretending you care about women.
You will certainly cause a lot of “disruption” by berating a stranger for calling the NBA the NBA in a random thread on Lemmy. The revolution has begun and you’ve already won!
That doesn’t erase your misogyny.
Or Brittney Griner’s misogyny. Not only did she do the exact same thing I did, she published it in a book.
Does anyone hate women more than Brittney Griner?
I would consider her more a victim
She did exactly the same thing I did, except she published it in a book. By your own logic, she’s a misogynist.
I can’t help your logic.
Are you a woman?
She’s a victim because she’s a women. You’re a perpetrator because you’re a man. Within the patriarchal system.
Why does that matter?
Women are not being misogynistic when they call the men’s team “The NBA” but men are? How does that even work?
Because of the patriarchy. That’s why Feminism exists. When a woman within a patriarchy uses misogynistic terms, she’s a victim. When a man does it, he’s a perpetrator. That’s also why women were legally forgiven for reactive violence but men were punished for using the same methods and it was not considered reactive.

That was in the 80s. Spousal rape was legal in many states then. How is this news to you? How uneducated are you?
