Honorable mention
Oh no the Boys With Very Clean Rooms have arrived. Don’t fret little buddies, your “traditionalist” socialization is the still the majority view. There are plenty of women whose lives you can still ruin. Your lobster princess awaits.

Good question. No true Scotsman refers to any attempt to define a generalization by excluding a counterexample. Feminism is a social and political movement for gender equity - if you advocate for ideas that are antithetical to that goal, you are, definitionally, not a feminist.
The rub, of course, is understanding why anti-trans rhetoric is antithetical to gender equity. There are lots of reasons, but perhaps most uncomplicated among them is that enforcing a gender binary is literally the foundational tool of patriarchy. Separate but equal doesn’t work.
The idea is that gender *shouldn’t be a consideration* when we define the societal value of a person, what rights they’re entitled to, and whether they are entitled to the same protections.

TERFs argue that protecting trans rights infringes on women’s rights, but —

I think men have very, very few hardships because they are men that are not caused, celebrated, defended, and/or perpetuated by other men, because they are men.
More men are murdered! Yes. By other men (and not usually for being men)

Men do more dangerous jobs! Yes, they also systematically exclude women from those roles, and the companies, (owned by men) lobby against workplace safety regs because money and not pussies or whatever
Men work more hours! No. *Paid* hours. Women work more hours, whether they perform some of them for a wage or not, and men are more likely to do full time wage work because parenting is for girls and its easier to breadwin when you're paid 20-45% more for showing up with a dick.

“If I don’t abuse women, how can you say I benefit from abuse perpetrated by men who do?”

Because women have learned to expect male abuse, and many will accept less from you, gratefully even, when you don’t harm them.

Ask me how many times I’ve heard, “at least he’s not perv.”
This is the root of your frustration with not receiving credit for being “one of the good guys.”

You are accustomed to being rewarded for a lack of harm.

“Thanks for accepting my declination”

“Thanks for not talking over me.”

“Thanks for caring whether I want to have sex.”
“Thanks for including me”

“Thanks for not being possessive.”

“Thanks for listening to me”

“Thanks for not harassing me in the street, at work, or online”

“Thanks SO much for agreeing that men shouldn’t abuse me. You’re a REAL man.”

“You’re not like the other guys.”

A lot of men get angry in conversations about the prevalence of and accountability for sexual assault, misogyny, and the objectification and oppression of women, and it always looks alot like white people getting mad in conversations about racism.
We want to create distance between ourselves and things we know are wrong. We become uncomfortable when that distance is questioned because we know our hands aren’t clean. We know there are times we could have done more, or better, and we dont want to admit we benefitted from it.
The important question is, what are you going to do with that discomfort? Because shouting down women or people of color isn’t creating the distance you tell yourself exists. Stop trying to create distance between you and harm to others and start contributing to the solution.

Furthermore: Fight Song by Rachel Platton always gets me AMPED TF UP. Will people screengrab this to make fun of me and shit on my basic bitch tweets? V likely, yes. But if doing Phil Collins style air drums as it builds up to the final chorus is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Seriously listen to that song on full blast and try to tell me you don’t want to chase your dreams after. You can’t. Because it’s impossible.
That song will make you want to call up someone who bullied you in elementary school just to be like what now bitch how’s it feel to have peaked in a starter jacket
