i wrote this in 2018, after John Kelly defended Rob Porter, a Trump aide, even after everyone saw photo evidence of him beating the women he was married to. I hate how relevant this piece still is.

to sully a man's good name

what dirties a man is not:
the photographs of wives he beat
nor stifling her screams.
everyone does it.
how dare her black eye look accusing! how could she when we know boys break their toys and bury them. men break their wives. some bury them. oh sweetheart, it's the way of the world. don't get so angry.

i am not angry. i am well on my way to breaking this world.
i will light my sword afire to build paradise.
i speak directly to the angels and they said to tell you to fuck off.

when we are young we keep sweet hearts unsafe, fragile in our ribs.
desperate then and now to stretch our arms, leave cages
dip in toes. just try.
the devil does not wear your face; if i said hell lived in you you'd be getting off so easy. evil is banal and demons are busy.
the urge to break those ribs and rip our hearts began with you.

i hope justice beats you with her scales. i will strangle you with her blindfold.

This is, by the way, a part of how all men benefit from rape culture. As long as a Weinstein exists, their everyday misogyny and abuse of women will be dismissed as “not that bad.” Even though all of it contributes to gender inequality and creates a society that is hostile to women.

This is your reminder to look out for the Weinstein Effect. Which is when the extreme horrors committed by men become the new bar for immorality. Anything “less than a Weinstein” is now tolerated, even if everyone agrees a man was violent or exploitative. Don’t let abuses of power become the norm.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

In recent days, AMA communications to the New York Times have requested a correction on their part to reflect the actual language the AMA used in response to their inquiry. Additionally, a letter to the editor has been submitted requesting a public correction—this was neither a policy change nor was it an endorsement of a position taken by another medical society. In addition, during Congressional testimony in mid-March, I had the opportunity to set the record straight stating to the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that there has been no change in AMA policy with respect to access to and provision of gender-affirming care. This will appear in the Congressional Record.
