One day, if we ever get out of this, it’s going to seem very conspicuous that in the years after Dobbs the media and elites were preoccupied with pronatalism, male loneliness, and prolonged digressions about feminists’ various evils and personal failures.

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

It’s deeply sick how women in particular are part of the charge to undo any and all gains made during the MeToo movement, which were already so small compared to the scale of injustice. Now women are playing into the idea that it was all a lie, to the tune of temporary profit and endless peril

Very depressed by how rapidly antifeminism is ascending, both in the halls of political power and as a tenet of the cultural elite.

Justifying victim blaming in cases where victims have been immoral, unethical, and harmful just creates the fallacy that abuse can be denied if you just dig up or make up bad things the victim has done. We see this play out every day

Just your regular reminder that Johnny Depp’s lawyer who was kicked off the 2022 trial because he breached a protective order to leak manipulated evidence to tabloids and YouTubers also had ties to Russian oligarchs and Putin’s inner circle

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

Reporting on sexual violence for years has at least acclimated me to the reality that laws don’t get enforced unless the crimes threaten the status quo protecting the powerful

One great thing about Bluesky is it has yet to be corrupted by mainstream social media culture of viral videos making fun of women who are visibly reacting to being assaulted and/or abused and calling them crazy and warning men to stay away from women like them

Unfortunately the stuff that most people are consuming online to distract themselves from politics (or because they don’t care about politics at all or think politics are going swimmingly) is also a covert pipeline designed to make them more conservative. Lifestyle, entertainment, pop culture, etc

I used to be quite ignorant as a young adult. But do you know what changed my mind each time? Art.
Art is the best thing to get into the hearts of others and help them see something new. Just make something completely sincerely. Everything else falls into place. There is a reason for what we do.
