Folks, we did it. An old man is literally yelling at a cloud.

the "HR lady" thing is so telling. oh no, did someone ruin your open sexual harassment environment?

people like to talk about how boys & men are also harmed by patriarchy. i would argue that much of that harm is split between (a) violence done to them, chiefly but not exclusively BY men, in their childhood capacity as "not-men" and (b) violence done in the process of turning them INTO men.

Like we're just doing this again. We keep euphemizing, downplaying and glossing over the fact that trans healthcare is specifically an issue because it permits us to change sex, because it moves us from one of society's rigidly bounded categories to another, and that's the whole fucking problem.

another win for @butchanarchy.bsky.social 's "cry like a f*g! scream like a woman!" butchanarchy.medium.com/cry-like-a-f...

Young men need more positive female role models.

Well, he got his wish?

"If Platner shot a person on 5th avenue I'd still support him." - a lot of people for some reason.

You can also see this in all the coverage given to "Democrats are losing young men", and the complete absence of "Republicans are losing young women" stories, even though young women lean far more Democratic than young men lean Republican

*Trans woman does something* TERFs: "Oh, so you FORCE your acts on the world, you know like a male rapist!?"

Clashes continue every day at Delaney Hall Detention Center. People are still held captive inside it. But so many people loathe ICE and what they are doing that if we all mobilize outside the detention centers, we could make it impossible to run them at all. crimethinc.com/DelaneyClashes

Hegemonic masculinity is usually defined as autonomy, independence, leadership---that which women are not supposed to possess nor aspire to. Gender is in and of itself an act of excluding women from humanity and agency, drawing a boundary between those who possess and those who are possessed.

Broke: the boomers are insufferable because of some personal failing Bespoke: the boomers are insufferable because all the queer people who could have taught them to be human beings were killed through medical negligence

Ok, then why are letting NYU Langone and Mt Sinai discriminate against trans youth?

once again they're just doing the exact thing they learned from the trumpists. disempowering accurate accusations of misogyny by leaning into it, going "yeah, so what? what are you gonna do about it?" & looking to each other for approval. the social agreement that misogyny bad is no longer in effect

"and what, switch to bsky, the cringe site?" yes. or mastodon. or dont use any site. i dont care. if you care more about a website being 'cringe' than there being nazis generating csam, that says something about you as a person i think

maybe the reason 80% of women in this country have been sexually harassed/assaulted is because an alarming number of you think a man wrenching his partners arm behind her back and locking her in a room is just him being a “bad boyfriend”

i know it's been said before but it really hurts to hear things like "they won't stop at trans people" "this will hurt more than just trans people" "trans people were just the beginning" like ok thanks for reminding me that we are the acceptable sacrifices and that the REAL people will be harmed too

“if abusing a woman is so bad, then why is it OK when people abuse children?“ is a ~revealing~ affirmative defense platner apologists not only think that we should be okay with abusing women, they assume we’d give up on fighting against platner before we’d condemn child abuse

If transition is 'assimilationist', why do we have to work so hard to access it? If it's treating trans subjects as a "niche for-profit market" why do we need to secure our own supply lines, community resources, or fucking make the stuff ourselves? In defiance of all institutional gatekeeping?

Here’s the thing about grown men who have a long list of seedy allegations against them but still seek more power: They are going to continue that track record. You can either accept that or you can be deluded like a Trump supporter.

incidentally like 80% of smug online anti-anarchist dunks are basically variations on sneeringly asserting that children are the archetypal object of legitimate violence & therefore anyone who can be legitimately compared to a child is an acceptable target of abuse, but people aren't ready for that

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

it's their version of a MeToo campaign. "plenty of women have stories about Me Too"

everyone read why misogynists make great informants right now

"watching a bunch of men you broadly agree with politically defending some dipshit abuser" is one of the main reasons every organizer who isn't a man burns out so fast fyi

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?

Platner is not somebody who came from nowhere with a surge of organic support because he's a spectacular talent with the power of pure authenticity. He was recruited and coached and prompted by a gaggle of political operators, effectively picked by the campaign shop equivalent of a casting agency.

Every once in a while you hit the Rosetta stone of American politics and yeah this is about 60%-70% of American gender politics in one post Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Most parents are irredeemably abusive.

There was obviously going to be a point where the like Ken Klippenstein dude bro style dipshit did an oh we can just be open chud misogynists now pivot but doing it to defend the Blackwater mercenary???????? Like really??????????? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

And remember the Democrats want these people to be the only ones with guns.

i think it's very telling that a lot of anti-anarchist talking points essentially boil down to "aww you're scared of big daddy state? what are you, a child?" which goes to show how much patriarchy and the oppression/ownership of children is embedded into statist logic

nothing to see here, just right wing streamers being protected by feds moments after those feds were shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters.

Lol. Lmao even.

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

“Experimenting with unproven technology to determine whether or not a child should be granted protections they desperately need and are legally entitled to is cruel and unconscionable.” The rise of “artificial intelligence” tools in border policing is just so disturbing. We should reject such uses.

Some conservatives are closeted but when an alt-right guy is talking about women in a really demeaning way it's usually because he's a misogynist and not because he's secretly gay

Hmmm.

Six years ago today, in response to Minneapolis police murdering George Floyd, demonstrators drove them out of the Third Precinct and burned it to the ground—a courageous act of solidarity showing that profound social change is always within reach. How did they accomplish that? Read this:

oh cool, Stancil blatantly breaking TOS again and will once again face no consequences. his comment is also unsurprisingly very stupid and out of touch with the average citizen.

I don't know why the concept of being isolated into an activity you can do by yourself confuses you considering you jerk yourself off with your shitty shallow bad faith commentary on matters you both do not and refuse to understand practically daily

i say while calling for trans women to be hunted for sport

You can't even spell it correctly but you're sure you know everything about the word and who it refers to. Don't let your complete ignorance get in the way of your desire to casually shit on trans lesbians, I guess.

Why are so many respectable people following prostasia's former spokesperson Noah Berlatsky?
