"yet another man is telling me what I should do with my own face. Either way, it’s none of your concern"

"I also have the right to say no without having to justify myself."

"I have as much right to use my voice and have strong opinions as you do. If I disagree with you or am passionate about something, I’m going to speak up."

"kindly stay out of my wardrobe."

"No woman owes you ..."

"Actions speak louder than words."

"...telling me I’m not good enough to make my own decisions"

"Women don’t need to be told what to do, how to dress, how to act, and how to feel. We owe men nothing. We’re adults, we’re human beings, and we’re just trying to live our own lives"

Google voluntaryism. You are speaking to the tenets of self ownership and non-agression. It's a two way street (in that it doesnt promise some utopia, and shitheads are not banned because they too have self ownership), but it starts with being granted the agency that everyone deserves.

I do believe feminists often (not all feminists, having to say that is just as annoying) see the problem and miss the solution, focusing on collective action with force rather than gaining self ownership rights that would actually serve them.
