I also like this explanation, i.e. they simply forget women’s sports exist when they don’t need them as a cudgel against trans people, because actually “it never occurred to a single one of us that a man would go to a women’s basketball game” is an even more stunning self-own

I keep laughing to myself that our “have you no decency, sir” is “no, I have never been to Atlanta…I was in MD on February 3, 2024, watching Caitlin Clark playing at MD.”

I wrote for @thecut.com about the Cornell case and what it says that, at my institution and many others like it, protesters are often punished more harshly than sexual assailants www.thecut.com/article/what...

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

A thing younger people tend to underestimate is how much the culture around institutional sexism and racism has changed in the last few decades. I’m not saying we’ve tipped the balance of power or anything, but the vicious old white guy backlash is a reaction to real progress.

Hey @wnbadata.bsky.social would love to see some data on fan ejections due to player harassment in Indiana or against Indiana versus the rest of the league. That fanbase really seems overrepresented in these incidents

Will the WNBA finally address the racism of parts of the Fever fandom now that they’ve come for the M’VP? Probably not, but they will assess her for a tech for responding to whatever harassment was leveled at her. And you know it had to be bad because A’ja doesn’t go off like that.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

Schmitt’s attempted maneuver this morning deserves ridicule, but there’s a more serious aspect to it. He was trying to frame Jack Smith. This was no innocent mistake, but part of a calculated effort to bear false witness against a person in order to harm the credibility of his work and character.

CG realizing she prolly shouldn’t have done that with one second left and then smiling wanly and laughing about it is the reason why I love women’s sports. They clearly still get so much *joy* playing at this level, it’s infectious.

Jason Benetti was caught off guard by Justin Verlander’s emotional farewell, too
Jason Benetti didn’t know Justin Verlander’s daughter was about to race onto the field at Comerica Park on Saturday, and once she did, he couldn’t shake the moment for hours. Benetti, who called Verlander’s final career start for Detroit SportsNet before shifting to NBC’s Wild Card coverage this week, was asked about the moment during…

Honestly, a powerful tool most men weirdly don't seem to to comprehend is "playing dumb so they have to explain". You don't have to be an evangelist or a 'hero', it's honestly as simple as tactically employing the following: "I don't get it" "That's weird" "Wait, but why?" "Isn't that ___, though?"

I am sick of hearing mispronunciations on audiobooks and mine will be tricky as it contains terms and place names in other languages. It’s also important to me that my book is narrated by a Black person. Plus I kind of want to do it…

Question… Audiobook narration training, where can one get it? How? I know nothing. As I wrap up edits on my first book for peer review, I am tempted to ask my press if I can be the audiobook narrator when it comes out years from now…

Even though my son Avi is now 21, I don’t think I’ll ever stop wishing I could give him everything he wants. This is probably typical parent sentiment, yeah? He is just the very best human in my whole life, and I’m so grateful I get to be a part of his.

White people created race to justify their racism, designating themselves as the pure, “good” race, and everyone not white, bad. This is very simple stuff.
