Something I wish got challenged more often in this “men in crisis” discourse is the blithe assumption (or sometimes outright assertion!) that everyone’s boss is a woman now. “Women now dominate white collar work and corporate management roles.” No they don’t. That just isn’t true.
Really thankful for this, from @winterjessica.bsky.social—a long-overdue corrective to an exhausting discourse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Not only is that demonstrably rubbish, it's precisely the insular, parochial, ill-educated and ignorant mindset that led to the US electing Trump.

Anyone else noticed how Nazi rallies get the go-ahead fairly easily from state governments, then the horrified public reaction is weaponised to pass anti-protest laws, which are then used to quash anti-genocide dissent and justify police assaults on small brown women? You picking up on this, too??

An interesting observation from @ausconservation.bsky.social’s CEO on whether a regulator OR a politician should be the ultimate environmental approval decision maker - “it’s much harder to make a donation to a regulator than it is to make a donation to a politician”. #environment #auspol

Every time Sheryl posts, my heart breaks a little.
This time my heart broke a lot.
Never forget 50 years ago, in Australia, rape was considered a property crime against the father/husband. Not a crime against the woman or girl. Husbands and fathers couldn’t, by law, rape their wives or daughters.

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.
