Yes. I also read the part of your previous post that said:

Do you want to try to explain to me how a protest that specifically targets progressive men is an effective way to get men to be more progressive?

“Just don’t be a bad guy and you won’t be the target!” This movement makes no distinction between conservative and progressive men, it is explicitly about absolute denial of sex, dating, marriage, and children.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% in favor of women not dating conservative men if they don’t want to. A movement that draws attention to the fact that women have the option of breaking up with their boyfriends and divorcing their husbands would be fantastic. A movement that specifically tries to deny relationships to the people that you’re trying to deradicalize is not that.

I also read the original article, which includes:

The idea behind the movement is individual resistance against what it defines as a conservative political environment and the corrosion of reproductive rights.

You seem to have the misconception that this movement is primarily about women doing something to make an impact on men, despite there being nothing in the source stating that. "A conservative political environment and a corrosion of reproductive rights" casts a wide net, but "revenge on men" or "motivating men" are both invariably going to be a lower priority than, oh say, "not dying from a miscarriage." Makes sense, right?

There's more to being a feminist ally than simply believing in a woman's right to choose. I'd be more inclined to believe that you truly support us if you showed any sign of having considered anything that I'd said about why women are drawn to this idea, or how you may have been initially mistaken by assuming it's being done just to target men. But alas.
