TERF ideology was ALWAYS based in the belief women are less than men. It’s foundational.

Hermione is smarter than Harry, but he’s the hero, because he was born special. Fred and George start a magic shop, while Ginny gets mind raped. Dumbledore is good, Umbridge is bad. Umbridge looks like a toad because she’s fat, gets raped by centaurs because she’s bad, and gets mocked by Hermione for having PTSD. Cho exists to cry over Harry and Cedric, while Cedric exists to be perfect. Lucius is smart, Bellatrix is crazy.

Rowling has always been a misogynist. She’s a TERF because being a TERF is the modern way to hate women. Because trans people existing is true equality between all of the many sexes, and Rowling hates it. The best female boxer in the world can’t be a woman, because men are stronger, so Rowling calls her a man.

“Trans men aren’t really trans, they just want male privilege.” “Trans women aren’t really trans, they just want to prey on women.” “Trans women can’t know what womanhood is, because womanhood is being a victim of Patriarchy.”

It is ALL misogyny. It is ALL the belief that women are lesser. It only looks like feminism when it’s saying women are victims. It never wants to move beyond women being victims. It never advocates for progress. It wants to stay in the patriarchy forever.

Well those that have enough wealth and influence wouldn’t necessarily be entirely in that position. We don’t know if you have seen or read The Handmaid’s Tale but those in charge even women benefit by telling others, women and men what to do, so they still have some power and influence.

However, others are correct, they are still misogynists and ‘traditionalists’ (read: fascists) and likely do not care, plus it means not having to work for money. They could choose the path of dismantling the systems which enforce work instead but they are so stuck up their own arses that they refuse to choose that option, because it is too much work and does not fit with their values of being better than others and stomping down on those they hate. Plus people tend to be notoriously bad at thinking and acting long term, especially those with the most power and influence.Though if they do it is in ways that will only benefit them and maybe their friends, not the rest of us.

I guess some value being kept women over everything else. More so if their minds are polluted by religion.
