Dudes trying so hard to be affirming of my gender they try extra hard to “treat me like a woman” 

Which means they crank the benevolent sexism up to 11 and it becomes swiftly apparent that they think the most affirming thing a woman could hear is “I really enjoy your looks.”

I get these little insights on male misogyny from the peculiar vantage point I am perched upon as a trans lady.
