Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

it's also an incredibly, unreasonably charitable alternative to burning down the university.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

This isn’t a joke, by the way. You can see the misspelling of United States on the document Trump pushed out on Truth Social:
truthsocial.com
Truth Social
Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.

A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

Adam Hoffman was charged with sexually abusing a child and was facing life in prison. Ken Paxton tried to give him a sweetheart deal with only one day served in prison. Ken Paxton is a danger to our kids and belongs nowhere near the Senate.

There really is this rash of very weird GOP defenses. Like when Paxton said the guy didn’t do one day in prison. That’s a lie! I put him in for a hard 60 days! Or Marshall saying he didnt get the pregnant woman arrested for late bill. It was for not showing up for the lawsuit over the late bill!

I like the lesbians. I like the lesbian bars. I know a rich woman who, after a long sequence of events, has bombed her sister-in-laws garage because of a meatball recipe. All people and groups are weird. It’s probably not a crisis if some lesbians are sometimes.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.
