The Aggressor Sets the Terms of Engagement
If an entity commits aggression against you, you are entitled to answer
with a proportional or analogous aggression. Accordingly, if Frank Jones
throws popcorn at you, you are entitled to answer this proportionally
and analogously, by throwing popcorn back at him. If Frank throws rocks
at you, you are entitled to answer this proportionally and analogously
by throwing rocks back at him, or proportionally in terms of violence
by throwing punches at him. And if Frank attacks you with lethal force,
you are entitled to answer this proportionally or analogously with
lethal force of whatever kind.
In a nutshell: the aggressor sets the terms of engagement.
Feminism, as an innovative social force in the world, has acted the part of an aggressor. Accordingly, feminism has set the terms of engagement with whatever is not feminist. The latter, therefore, is entitled to answer feminist aggression proportionally or analogously. And it should be an ongoing project to catalogue the forms, manners and degrees of feminist aggression against non-feminism. In this way, proportional or analogous response modes may be formulated and put into practice.

This is a common fallacy with many people's brains these days.
Self-defense is often called, "assault", or even "murder".
This is an excellent post.
Why not just become the aggressor and set the tone yourself?
Because then you would be the aggressor.
