I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just *totally miss* that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

I have a public library card for the first time in my life (embarrassing! I know) and I’m absolutely drunk on power.

I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Going to start doing RETVRN posting for basic government functioning. Going “this is what they took from you” and it’s a childhood vaccine schedule and pasteurized milk without any manure in it.

Of course, the desire to humiliate Dworkin in sexual terms is not in spite of her anti-rape activism, but directly because of it. Hierarchical, domineering, misogynist sex is what she threatened, and so that is what she is threatened with.

I loved talking right wing sex positivity and the contradictory landscape of MAGA desire with @adriandaub.bsky.social and the hilarious and lovely @mattxiv.bsky.social ✨ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Very cool that these people have unchecked power over all the money and all the capacity for violence.

Why are a ton of people suddenly liking a blog I wrote in 2023. Where did they find it. Where are they coming from.

I honestly do think that part of the solution will be swift, dramatic, and yes, perhaps sometimes violent punishment of anti-democratic and anti-pluralist views.

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.

… Paul Clement?

Not long ago a prominent literary magazine published a piece about Andrea Dworkin that speculated that she came to her anti-rape politics because she wasn’t having sex correctly or enough. I’m not going to link it but was pretty egregious—little more than a critical fig leaf for revenge porn.

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.
