And THAT, beloveds, is rape culture in its purest distillation.

Misty Gedlinske @mistygedlinske.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

That we exist simply as objects, targets, and vessels of male sexual desire. That every arguably positive thing we receive in connection with being desirable to men is conditional at best, and that every negative thing we experience as result of that is our own fault.

It is an admission that, in certain men’s minds, women (individually and collectively) do not possess agency or discernment. That we are not full and equal members of society. That we are not, in fact, viewed as people at all…

Defaulting to a sexual interpretation of those assumed intentions, and demeaning us for what someone else decided on our behalf without our consent or input… That’s not a description. That’s a confession.

On top of the inherent misogyny of calling women whores: Deciding for us how to categorize our clothing, deciding for us what our intentions are for dressing in any particular way…

Thank you to all who ignored my horrific French grammar for the sake of the bit.

Just once, I’d like to make it through a centrist Dem speech about “party persuasion” without ending up with an urge to box the speaker’s ears. (For legal purposes, I am speaking hyperbolically.)

It’s not even really revenge. It’s accountability, which feels like revenge to those who have never faced tangible consequences.

Trans men are men, and: Trans men are not responsible for systemic sexual violence. Cisgender men are. Trans men do not benefit from the rape culture that surrounds and upholds sexual violence. Cisgender men do. Specificity matters. Let us calibrate our aim correctly when saying “Yes, all men.”

“Felines,” said the PodcastBro, in the same tone and inflection as “females,” as he whines that the ideal transport box for his new TactiCat should also be gray.

Not to be all smug about it, but I didn’t even need to use the brain atrophy-inducing, environment-destroying, inaccuracy-spewing plagiarism machine, much less become addicted to it, to know it was credibility suicide and not a legitimate “research tool.”

In case any of you were wondering, the correct order of operations is 1. Apply sunscreen. 2. Wash hands thoroughly, possibly twice. 3. Then, and only then, touch face anywhere near the eye area. 4. Prosper. Love y’all. Drink some water. Unclench your jaws and un-shrimp your spines. Mwah.

That’a nearly all of them, in my experience.

I’m not sure “respite” is the right word here given they also declared that trans women and girls essentially have no Equal Protection rights under the 14th Amendment.

I hardly post anywhere anymore. Just not feeling it at all, though I haven’t been able to articulate exactly why.

Spouse and I have long understood that there’s only room in this marriage for one secret cinnamon roll bisexual disaster with family trauma. (We fold our towels in half, then in threes.)

It’s currently 32°F with a windchill of 26° (thanks, Wisconsin). Pippin Doyle has temporarily resumed Cold Weather Lounging Protocol in front of the heat vent.

Say what you will about it, but knowing that @bsky.app uses AI in its coding makes me not want to use this site.

But you still publish at Substack, which means you’re running that funding through the literal Nazi bar of newsletter hosting sites.

It helps to correctly understand what an ad hominem attack is before accusing folks of engaging in them. I simply made an observation. Your responses are reinforcing what I observed.

If your approach to organizing is anything like your posting style, I think I see the problem.
