I would never defend an awful man. I agree that if someone is not treating a woman properly, they should face consequences.

Decency and respect are the bare minimum that anyone should expect. What I was trying to articulate, perhaps poorly, is that I'm okay with holding people accountable as long as they are the ones perpetrating the actions. I misinterpreted your previous statement as being about holding people accountable for actions not of their own making.

I need to apologise. I had to think about it, and I also think I misspoke. I don't think it would be classified as internalised misogyny, and it was harmful to paint it as such.

What I meant to say is that a blanket statement like 'all men are evil' unintentionally props up structures that normalise misogyny.

However, I should note that I understand that this was not your intention, and that the statement is more a reflection on the treatment of trans people, and the line of thinking applied to them.
