One false dichotomy that makes leftists allergic to feminism is their insistence on a clean difference between material & dignity harms, which in practice are interdependent. Same with the insistence on distinguishing “state” & “interpersonal” violence, which in reality are not so easy to separate.

Feminists have long been scared of looking mean, and as a result we’ve been way too nice to antifeminist women. Sorry no, you’re not submissive, servile, and dependent because you’re a woman and that’s just your feminine nature. You’re submissive, servile,and dependent because you lack self respect.

Women are dying of sepsis after being denied abortions. A conservative sect that wants to repeal women’s voting rights is growing and gaining national attention. *This* is the NYT’s contribution to conversations about women?

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

WorldCon panels dropped and I guess they've decided to jump on the right wing's train of strawmen about the gay agenda? Please, if anyone in their life has encountered a bookstore giving them half a dozen sapphic recs with 'strong women leads' let me know so I can shop there

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Rape is the first and most intimate form of authoritarianism and the one on which subsequent forms of domination are based. Rape is the ur text, the framework, the guiding metaphor for American authoritarian politics.

The problem with our current...everything...is if you haven't been terminally online the last 20 or so years, you're so out of the loop that the culture war has become incomprehensible, and if you *have* been watching it this whole time you sound like a crazy person trying to explain.

My controversial opinion on young men’s right wing radicalization is that we should not undo the second wave and sacrifice women’s rights, dignity, freedom, and access to the public sphere for the sake of men’s feelings.

oh yeah, an enormous part of the revanchist right's goal is simply to erase the women's liberation movement entirely, a goal shared by the techno-natalist and christofascist right
I have learned so much from @swordsjew.bsky.social about how marriage functions in high control religions, both in Wild Faith and in her coverage of the ultra-Orthodox wives sex strike. That women are legally allowed to divorce their husbands is such a hit to them.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
Just filed an article about the upcoming German elections (out on Sunday) and what strikes me is how timid much of the institutional pushback against the far-right has been. Some people have distinguished themselves but for the most part it’s just been really complacent - really disappointing.
