"It’s not just the potential for domestic violence that makes being a woman in Italy feel so challenging."
When women are facing gender wage gaps of 40 percent and are locked out of secure employment and the benefits that come with it, that's not a "feeling," but material, quantitative fact!

But they parrot Meloni's unsubstantiated nonsense about "woke gender ideology" without digging into *why* her efforts to coerce Italian women into lives of barefoot pregnancy and unpaid domestic labor through systemic employment discrimination has resulted in fewer live births and more dead women.

Reading the bewilderment in this story is wild.
Of course Georgia Meloni is ineffective at curbing gender inequality and femicide. Antipathy toward egalitarianism isn't a bug of the far right. It's one of its consistent features, because fascists are consumed with hierarchy and social control!

Italian model and entrepreneur Pamela Genini had what many might consider an enviable life. Then, last month, she was fatally stabbed at her home, police say.

One of the most shocking moments of my education was when a professor showed a visual of the same plot of land divided two different ways: 20 houses with yards, and one big condo with a park, lake, stores, amenities. She asked "Which do you prefer?"
The vote: 19 for the houses, 1 for the lake (me)

I love my urban lifestyle, but a lot of people think that the way I live - small apartment, electric scooter, public transportation - is insane. Regs can influence things to a degree, but Americans want that big yard, standalone house and it's hard to convince them my lifestyle is better. I do try!

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

I love the point @marisakabas.bsky.social makes about jumping to the head of the line by doing sensational “journalism” with questionable ethics. This has been a thing in sports media for a long time, as management thinks hiring influencers is the key to getting any more clicks.
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.
