Same as transphobic, terf etc. It's just a new word for I don't like what you're saying

I haven't seen this anywhere but it seems a bit weak and contrived to be a good descriptor. I can't see it sticking.

  • "Women Exclusionary" doesn't really stick. They might be edging out women, for example by out-competing in sports, but there's no exclusion of women going on. It's more like a total denial that "woman" as a sex category even exists, thus lumping everyone together.
  • "Radical" has a specific meaning which does not mean "extremist" as some people misinterpret it. I understand that's how it's being used here, as a pejorative, but using it this way undermines the original meaning of Radical Feminism.

At least the "Misogynist" part is correct.

I don't think this is helpful and would not use it myself. Like someone else said-- trans activists are not merely excluding women, they are pretending women don't exist and erasing the sex-based discrimination of women.

Also, no need to stoop to their level and make up an acronym to call them. We can call them misogynists just fine.

I think its lame to keep throwing these insults in either direction. People should defend their points, not just yell "meanie!" every time they don't like someone's argument

I posted this in another thread but my workplace recently banned the usage of "guys" as in "you guys," as possibly offensive to women.

In the meantime, the former women's bathrooms are now "gender neutral" and women don't want to use them because if they encounter a perv they can't kick him out.

And no one is acting on the fact that women stopped using bathrooms?

Right now we are not in the office, and haven't been for months. The bathroom thing happened as we were leaving the office and then, in deepest secrecy, women were whispering to each other how uncomfortable they are with the new "gender neutral" setup.

I don't think women should be stooping to their level like that.

Women Exclusionary radical misogynist. A push back to being labelled a terf I guess

I had written a long wall of text before but deleted it. I'm trying to cut down on going "OMG BLAH BLAH BLAH" about everything.

Trying to be concise, I think calling anyone a "worm" is dehumanizing, and we should not be associated with it.

Tbh just use ‘mysogynist’. There’s already a good word.

Kind of a lazy shutting you up technique. I'd rather have a proper discussion than:

"Go die TERF suck my lady dick" "OK WERM"

I like FETI (FEGI) more - Female Exclusionary Trans (Gender) Ideologist. However, I saw that only 2 or 3 times, every time it was used "as a joke" by transgenders themselves. Not sure any insults should be used, tho.

I think exclusionary is just copycat and doesn't really fit as well. Extorting, exterminating, expropriating, extirpating, expunging... We've got options.

I've seen 'TERF - Transactivists Erasing Real Females' and 'FART - Female Adverse Radial Trans' a couple of times.

Don't think these acronyms are helpful really, but they're a bit of fun.
