This is a bingo. Selection bias but I was raised by a woman and surrounded by strong women growing up (my aunts and grandmother) and I think that’s why I’m extremely comfortable w women in a way too many of my fellow men are not.
This is also why I think all the people saying men need their own spaces to solve the young men skewering Republican are wrong. They need more exposure to women, lot less. Too few of them think you can have platonic female friends and that by itself is demeaning to women
I think the most intractable form of bigotry might be misogyny solely because we have a lot do studies that suggest that when dominant populations (read: straight white males) are heavily exposed to people who are different from them they become less biased — with one exception

Just muted someone for crapping on Superman. You don’t have to like it, to each his own. But in this account we always put respect on the Last Son Of Krypton. lol

I just heard a guest say on MSNBC that Trump likely doesn't have a case in his Wall Street Journal libel case unless he gets Judge Cannon. Everyone nodded and agreed. And it struck me that we've now reached the point where brazen corruption is just expected and accepted as a part of civic life.

Our unaccountable Supreme Court gave our unaccountable president the power to effectively end the Department of Education.
And it did so without any explanation because the case came through its secretive shadow docket.
SCOTUS is rubber-stamping Trump’s authoritarian regime.

Undocumented immigrants can’t enroll in Medicaid. They can only ever access it temporarily, when they need lifesaving medical care.
This only makes people afraid to access the medical care they’re legally allowed to receive.
But Trump doesn’t care. His only goal is to sow fear.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.
Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.
Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work.
It was a hoax.
