I’m going to reply once and not going to engage further because you seem to be arguing with someone in your head and not us.

Up thread, the whole point was that testosterone and masculinity is not inherently bad or violent, and that was the point. Ain’t none of us arguing men are bad for having a libido (hint hint: several of us are trans women and lived being seen as men for decades and actively parse the difference), but for some reason you’ve decided that’s something we’re saying? So who is it you are actually arguing with?

And the reason you might think that way is exactly in what you just said: “men shouldn’t feel bad for wanting to do stuff TO women”. Not WITH but TO….that’s it right there. Woman aren’t objects, we’re people. The men who want to do things WITH women will often find straight women who very much want to do things with them too. The ones who want to do things TO us are the ones who give off vibes that they don’t differentiate between sex and violence, and that’s something we pick up on and want nothing to do with. So, if you have folks saying you’re being creepy, I suggest reflecting on that and doing the work on yourself to learn how to do things with people and not to them.

Anywho, going to mute but best of luck in unpacking your baggage.
