I wish that women didn't have to open a vein and spill their trauma every time there's a high-profile rape case. We shouldn't have to do that to drive home what a widespread fucking problem this is.

The absolute unmitigated gall of a man suggesting that "men will follow" if women organize and advocate for their rights, in light of decades of history telling us, in very clear terms, the exact opposite

Today in great performances under recognized outside of the horror crowd: Patricia Quinn, Dee Wallace and Judy Geeson as the Sisters in Lords of Salem.

Three adult women stand shoulder to shoulder in a dim, narrow stairwell or hallway. The woman on the left has short, curly dark reddish-brown hair and wears a dark blazer over a red top. The woman in the center has short, swept-back blond hair and wears a pale cream blouse with lace detailing and a high, gathered neckline. The woman on the right has long, straight blond hair and wears a light blue-green cardigan over a muted patterned blouse, along with a pendant necklace. All three face the camera with serious, unsmiling expressions. Dark walls, patterned wallpaper, and a stair railing frame the group, while low, warm lighting casts deep shadows across the scene.

I'll add another thing to this thread about 'invisible' misogyny: a lot of the time it also presents as chivalry. Putting women on a pedestal, 'yearning' for them; all part of a misogynistic othering of women which can likewise explode in 'surprising' ways.

This is absolutely part of the literacy crisis and it requires active, critical reading to combat. I've made a goal this year of reading the book in front of me instead of wishing the author had done x or y differently, and it's been a wonderful return to form.

Ableism is a shapeshifting bitch. It never gets killed once it’s introduced. It just rearranges and bides its time. Like the Confederacy, like the Nazis, ableism is enjoying a current surge in popularity and with it new and exciting ways to be awful.

This. There's a lot to untangle with our unexamined double standards, but "How would I handle a girl in this situation" isn't a bad start. We don't have to resign ourselves to letting boys and young men get away with things just because they always have.

Another big one is teaching your son to see girls as equals. Instead of enrolling him in sex-segregated sports, introduce him to a co-ed team. And help him foster his more “feminine” interests where we can be in mixed-sex spaces, making mixed-sex friend groups.

"The libs transed my kids!" Yeah, or your kids though there was a not-unlikely possibility they might die, so it caused at least some of them to go: "Maybe I'd rather die being who I am rather than my family's idea of who I should be."

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

being trans is not a problem until some other asshole makes it one. if your kid wasn’t afraid to tell you about it because a whole bunch of other assholes made it a problem, you could probably sort out, “hey, are you serious about this? what stuff should we try first to see how it fits?”

Apocalypse World’s ethos and the OSR are in fact very similar. Play to find out, inviting randomness into generative procedure, emergent narrative, principles and agendas or primers and rulings; they share a lot. You can absolutely play AW in pawn or actor stance the same way you would an OSR.

And those of us who do listen to the radio aren't necessarily hearing top 40 stuff. Baltimore's WTMD is a great station. It's all indie music. And I can't keep up with everything that gets played there, much less in the mainstream pop world.

Yes, of course it's not all men, but if for their safety many women decide to treat all men as guilty until proven innocent, respect that this caution comes from the very real threat posed by men, and the system that is constructed to let them get away with being monsters.

We can’t simultaneously protect women and protect masculinity. Men aren’t inherently a danger to women, but traditional masculinity is. Also, you CAN’T protect women, in the environment that supports traditional masculinity. It’s not possible, and in this way, it sets “good men” up to fail too.

The problem with worshipping hegemonic masculinity by isolating yourself from women is that now you're worshipping masculinity with no women around and there's no way out of how gay that looks
