Just read @katemanne.bsky.social ‘s fantastic piece in The Cut about the Cornell rape and she points out that students protesting conditions in Gaza were treated more harshly than the rapists and holy shit, this detail
One of these students was my own advisee, and having supported her throughout the the months-long case, I can state with confidence that she did nothing wrong. Moreover, she happens to be deaf and was suspended in part for being “unreasonably loud.” Privacy consideration

Trump expressed support for the Iraq war as it started. He later criticized Bush for not stealing oil or doing enough war crimes (namely targeting innocent family members of insurgents). Then he acted on that vision of war with Iran, and it's failing badly. Enough Trump-absolving revisionist BS.

For every “former tradwife” we see the mainstream media try to rehab, there are plenty of others still pushing these ideas. Their fash adjacent anti-feminism likely includes loss of financial autonomy and women’s suffrage, among other horrors.

100% right. If you read the piece, note her Filipino background, her mother dying at an early age, and her father being a U.S. serviceman (who reportedly became physically abusive during her teen years). It’s definitely intended to evoke sympathy, but doesn’t excuse her choices to mislead.

She suffers. Because she hurt herself. 🤷🏿‍♂️ She spent years misleading other women into nonsense beliefs about what traditional means. She lived in a fantasy cartoon of fashy subservience. She's a slow learner. Now she's figuring out what millions of other women that she fought against, already knew.

"stay at home mom" does not mean tradwife. "Person who cooks or does domestic chores" does not mean tradwife. It's a very specific set of fascist adjacent anti-feminist ideals that complement the fantasy of men's place in MAGA. It is toxic, harms women, and enables abuse of women and others.

These women are not harmless. They are extremely dangerous. American fascism is ruining everything, and these women and their wrong ideas are half of its source of power. Most Americans can't accept the scale of the harm of these women's fascism support. They recast them as victims only.
