@BBC100women To try and stop women from talking about abuses, they call women 'terfs' 'Karens' 'cis' 'cispriviliged' 'middle-class women' 'hate-mongers', 'hate-filled bigots' 'hysterical' 'pearl-clutchers' 'transphobes' 'far-right extremists' 'funded by the rightwing' 'white-women'.

@eddiemarsan Men are demanding access to women's rights, spaces and sports. Women are saying no. For that, women are told they are fascists, Nazis, Putin-fans. They are sent rape and death threats, their meetings attacked. That hasn't quite persuaded me that men are women yet.
