There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

It's not just the racism, Texas GOP leader Bo French also advocates summary execution of leading Democrats (specifically including President Obama) and the establishment of concentration camps for political foes. CNN has the receipts. www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

An interesting comment in a recent Reddit thread about the “AI sex cult” and Slutcon: www.reddit.com/r/SFbitchesw...
overheadSPIDERS • 9d ago
My abusive ex bf (who works in tech) goes to Aella's sex parties through Red Means No (RMN). I contacted them to give them a heads up that he smothered me with a pillow on two occasions and probably shouldn't be allowed at CNC focused sex parties.
They acted like a woman was investigating...a woman who'd been fucking my abusive ex.
Nate Soares personally contacted me when I got some traction in the community and tried to tell me that I was the one in the wrong. He wrote various things on a Google doc that was publicly accessible about me that were false. He eventually informed me that he was going to publish portions of our correspondence (but only his responses and summaries of what I said, lol) to the entire membership of Red Means No, which is over 200 people.
So yeah there's a dossier about me that a bunch of CNC obsessed rationalists can see and I don't even know what it says.

A cop in rural Texas pulls over a Latino. He demands papers; doesn’t get any. Arrests the guy, throws him in a local jail cell. Hours later, GardaWorld staff show up to put him on a bus with a dozen others. They drive him to the nearest ICE jail; a bus service for the machine of mass deportation.

Pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern's pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer from a frequently fatal disease into a highly treatable and preventable disease. Her research revolutionized women’s healthcare. She was born #OTD in 1915. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Canadian-American pathologist Dr. Elizabeth Stern (1915–1980), whose pioneering research in cytopathology transformed cervical cancer into a preventable disease. Dr. Stern is positioned slightly at an angle, facing forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat wave off her forehead, and her gaze is directed toward the camera. She wears a dark, simple collared blouse with subtle dotted textures. The composition focuses entirely on her upper shoulders and head against a stark, light-colored, uncluttered background that provides a high-contrast framing. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her facial features. The overall mood is formal, dignified, and academic, capturing a historic visual record of an influential woman in STEM.
