    That’s not what we’re talking about here. Your hypothetical woman isn’t real. We are talking about real women who actually exist and the way you are exerting an authority over their bodies and appearances. Being a feminist is not “being in favor of a group” its respecting women and believing they should be equals in society. It’s believing in the movement for women’s rights and fighting for those rights. It’s pushing back against misogyny and misogynistic discrimination wherever it appears in society.

    You calling women deformed, calling them gross, acting as though you have the right to comment on their bodies - that’s misogyny. You’re a misogynist. The comments you’re making are not casually disconnected from the rest of the world. Your comments are part of the long-standing toxic social tradition of demonizing women, denigrating women’s appearances, and using language to try and control women’s bodies. I’m not playing this game with you any longer. Crawl back to whatever hole you inhabit and either educate yourself or leave women the fuck alone.
