Need an analog to the “police passive” for this kind of description of sexually abusive men “being Me Tooed”—as if they were merely caught in a storm, their own actions and behavior irrelevant to their outcomes. Call it the predator passive.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

domestic abuse, sexual violence, etc is virtually unprosecuted because it isn't *in practice,* a crime at all--it's the exercise of legitimate force by the person who holds the right to govern, over and against the person who must BE governed.

while I am glad the new Pope is pro immigration, important to point out that the American Catholic Church has its sights set on killing my friends

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Well that's an interesting way to cover the story, NYT.

Zohran Mamdani’s stellar election win in New York signals a new dawn: Supporting Palestinian liberation has become a core plank of progressive politics in the United States.

we need to eradicate "parental rights". children are their own people and not the property of their parents

there is a haunting familiarity to me in everything that comes out about epstein's associates. for every child or teenage victim of abuse there is a seemingly endless number of adults who probably saw something was wrong and could have chosen to intervene but didn't

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >

of all the people I expected to make excuses for pedophiles, Jesse Singal is certainly one of them

"That can't be rape; basically every guy does stuff like that." - Someone who is so close to getting it.

In defining rape in law and public discourse, Catharine MacKinnon wrote, "The level of acceptable force is adjudicated starting just above the level set by what is seen as normal male sexual behavior, including the normal level of force, rather than at the victim's, or women's, point of violation."

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

how does one ask for kindness?

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

it is a victory of Hitlerite thought that people are attempting to use Hitler’s own logic to explain the man himself, looking at his genes rather than from the socio-political factors that allowed him to rise

I wish those calling for the unmasking of ICE agents would be explicit about the obvious reason why this is necessary: these men need to be identifiable because justice demands that they be punished, severely, for what they are doing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

your friend who's into p5: dude have you seen this post about the surfing scrungler? apparently internal drama around the addition of the swimming swindler almost cost John Atlus, CEO of Atlus, custody of his beautiful children your Ralsei tulpa that can only say his own name like a pokemon: Ralsei

i tried to send usps priority mail to the uk this morning. cost was $92. the value of the package is about $22. i switched to the cheaper, slower rate box and the cost was $30. again the package is worth about $22 in total. this country is a little bit fucked logistics wise

did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?
