Need to write about rape apologist feminisms that aim to downplay sexual degradation and violence—and how they have enabled the jocular misogyny and pro-rape agenda of Trumpist gender politics.

And while we’re at it, let’s write about how fascism has always violently policed women, gender, sexuality…Pres. Trusk’s sexual violence isn’t a sideshow to the fascism.
It simply does not make sense, in 2025, to speak of “pro sex” and “anti sex” political alignments. Trumpism is in fact very aggressively in favor of one form of dominance-based heterosexuality—precisely the kind that sex-positive feminists in and out of the academy spent so much energy defending.
I remember hearing a faculty member describe herself as a "pro-sex feminist" when I was in grad school. I need to learn more about the history of that term and the ideas espoused by people who have used it. I'm looking forward to your insight, because I always learn a lot when I read what you write
