And thus do we have a (known)* rapist in the Oval Office, a (known) rapist on the Supreme Court, and a (known) rapist presented with the keys to a shiny new taskforce concerning ~women's health~. *(because we all know that we don't know how many rapists are currently serving in government.) 3/3

🧵We haven't reckoned w/ how *quickly* the regime was able to dismantle advancements that brought women to a place of "equality" (legal, professional, etc). The dismantling would've been impossible if that equality were real. Misogyny (male supremacism) is the foundation on which our society rests.

Russell's character, Snake Plissken, wears an eye patch, and so when they were shooting, all of a sudden he had no depth perception. So they had to drill a tiny hole in the eye patch and then he could nail the basket every time. (Fun fact: Kurt Russell also played minor league baseball.)
