🧵 + regular reminder that the “father of modern gynecology” experimented on enslaved Black women with no anesthesia or care & the misogynoir continues to affect us all.
When we say racism is in every aspect of American life, please believe it

However much you hate your annual gyno appointment, you don’t hate it enough because literally EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT IT could be less painful, less humiliating, and less poorly designed if any of it had been developed based on actual science and not Man Science.

It‘s hard to believe that 6 of the 9 justices on the Supreme Court could be fascist traitors. But based on the evidence, it’s even harder to believe they‘re not.

100% of people know Trump's signature on that disgusting birthday card is real, just as 100% of people knew that Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill were telling the truth. The right is a force for violent misogyny and the media is mired in terminal, nonsensical bothsides-ism. So here we are.

Honestly, I think it’s better to be a polarizing author than one who is “meh” to most people. Ideally, you inspire passion with your work…
