"If you're not the paying customer, you're the product." The very lowest-effort ethical action one can take in response to that fact in the world is: don't provide free content that makes his megaphone more effective and powerful. What are we even doing, people?

Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

This is also sexual terrorism, every bit as effective as rape. This is yet another way men identify with rapists & worship the violence of other men. This is men acting as a class to defend their violent enforcement of the oppression of women. But why don't women report, eh?

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

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.

Conservative women learning they aren't actually the exception, they won't be protected & given power the women they helped subjugate don't have, & that they are hated just as much as liberal/left women. And are first in line for abuse given their proximity to patriarchal men.

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Teen girls' mental health has been on the decline over the past decade as sexual abuse has been on the rise. But all we ever hear about is how sad boys/men are, how horrifying it is that they aren't having sex, that birth rates are catastrophic, & feminism hurts boys' mental health.
