Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 17hHow is this lumping you in with rapists? I don't see your name in there anywhere. Were you one of the 50 men in the group chat? If not you're not mad at being lumped in with rapists. You're mad that women are saying true things in public. 2302
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 17hI think that what men don't understand is that **at some point** if they don't fix shit, women will look for less comfortable solutions than asking nicely to cut that shit out. If you put your hand on another person's sexualized body parts in public, they can probably punch you as self-defence. 2234

That was not, in fact, the lesson of the Shoah. And frankly I'd rather die with empathy than live without it. Hell, I'd rather die with empathy even for my enemy than live without it. 1237158

Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 20hYou could own slaves in Philadelphia in 1776. The freedom of Philadelphia in 1776 was the freedom of white men to hold Black human beings as property and for Black human beings to ... nothing. No freedom at all. We could also talk about women's freedoms in 1776 if you like, Heggie. 2163

This isn't taking advantage of the Aces having an off day. This is fiery defense from a team known more for forgetting to put the defense in their game-day bags. 110
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 29/09/2026There's like these two really simple rules about registering to vote at the address where you actually live and not registering to vote in 2 different places at the same time. Why can republicans not understand these concepts? Also, too: pro se hijinks! Bc why not represent yourself then quit? 082
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think that some people forget that "homophobia" as a word used to describe anti-queer activists like Anita Bryant came out of the movement to strike gay orientation from psychology's DSM. It was childish, I'm rubber, you're glue thinking, but the "Who is obsessed with gay sex?" question worked. 1194

Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 29/09/2026House Rep. Sarah McBride asks that we please make room in the democratic tent for cops and prosecutors that feel uncomfortable investigating rape and would rather just not, and for university presidents who insist that their motto of "radical openness" applies not just to ideas... 071
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If they were making the tent bigger, that might arguably be a good thing. Instead they're kicking out the a bunch of folks on the left end of the tent to make more room for people to enter from the right without changing the size of the tent at all. Fuck Sarah & everyone moving right for fascism. 2124
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If your one job is saying things smart enough to make people want to give your boss money, you should not be surprised when saying dumb things in public generates more backlash for you than for Guy At The End Of The Bar. 1244
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Dudes brag about writing a diss track and dunking a basketball. I don't complain about that. Diss tracks can be fun. Dunking is cool! But damn, if you could be the one Cornell dude out of 50 who got that text, immediately checked it was real, then called the cops, that's better than a good beat. 1305
Reposted by Crip Dykemale to fujoshi transsexual @foxglove.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And I don't mean this in an "everyone is a little gay" way. Maybe you're 100% het. But you are sort of un-straightening yourself in this process and you need to be able to say "yeah? So what?" Otherwise, you will be caught between wanting to help, and letting yourself be passively weaponized. 1396
Reposted by Crip Dykemale to fujoshi transsexual @foxglove.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think that a big piece of this is needing to surmount internalized homophobia. Not HATING gay/trans people. Afraid of being punitively homosexualized by others for involving oneself with us, especially with trans women. There could be consequences, but you have to be kind to yourself too. 1538

Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Very few people really struggle with this. I think it takes away agency & humanity to dismiss the possibility of women's authentic consent, but we don't need to dismiss the possibility to recognize that a yes while under coercion cannot be trusted in the manner that societies (and juries!) now do. 040
Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This. When Andrea Dworkin said rape is the weapon that all men use to control all women, she wasn't saying all men rape. She was saying 1. Non-raping men permit rape to be as common as it is 2. Raping and non-raping men use the fear of "other" men to gain "good guy" status a short thread... 330986

Crip Dyke @cripdyke.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Marisa is unfairly misportraying how close this game is. Paige Bueckers has 17 points, it's true, but the entire rest of the Wings do have 14 and could reasonably overtake Bueckers before the end of the 3rd if they're determined. 2313
