Exactly. The right want to control women as a sex class, but the left are trying (and seemingly succeeding) to erase us as a sex class altogether. There is tremendous power in having the ability to name something. If we cannot name, and thereby define, our realities as women, then how can we ever hope to combat sex-based oppression? If the right win on this, sure, we have to continue to fight for abortion rights, against rape culture etc. But if the liberals win, then we have to go right back to basics - we have to fight to even group as women, to define ourselves as women, to gather and speak without male inclusion. How can we fight rape culture, for example, if we can no longer define male violence as a specific issue? How can we fight for gay rights if we can't define homosexuality as same-sex attraction? The matter of women's oppression becomes utterly nameless under gender politics. I'm not a conservative, but politics make strange bedfellows, and, since the media has effectively no-platformed gender criticital thought from within the left, I'm not afraid to partially partner with them on this one issue if that's the only way to get the message out.

Having been a leftist most of my life, I'm hard-pressed to describe myself that way anymore for fear of being smeared as a fascist. At any rate, I've been run off a couple of sites for my pro-radfem views anyway, so fuck 'em, let them live in Lala Land.
