"they should've stuck to stuff that was unambiguously illegal" "they should have only gone after powerful men" "they should have-" shut up shut UP!

could not possibly be less interested in men's opinions on the shortcomings of the metoo movement

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

(proudly) We have invented Women's Careers and Independence from the classic sci-fi novel *Don't Invent Women's Careers and Independence*.

I'm always saying this

unfortunately for my haters, while I am in many ways a real dummy I am also statistically speaking what's known as a "brain genius" when it comes to reading comprehension. try something like "you're selfish and prioritize your own comfort over serving others" instead

[Ed Harris in Apollo 13 voice] alright. What do we have on this spacecraft that isnt gender.

We need a societal understanding that too much power is dangerous. Wealth taxes and trust busting are a matter of public safety. The rich and powerful are a threat to themselves and others.

in the midst of a periodic undergarment-drawer-refresh and man, the leaps they've made in bra technology in the past like 5 years are totally insane. why weren't they doing bras this way before

catching up on news, time to mute "democrats" so I don't spend all day tomorrow getting increasingly deranged over people using 8 senators' defection to be proof that the democratic party is the problem, possibly even the Main problem in american politics as a whole

I will say this. being in the cascades is always like. man, if I trip on a tree root right now it's OVER. why is the unprotected left side of this narrow dirt path a 70 degree slope that goes 600ft down into a river. that's crazy
